About
Our thinking
FORMstudio aims to create places that can be inhabited and experienced by people in a natural and instinctive way. Enjoyable places with a tranquil sense of simplicity.
Individual solutions are developed for our clients; sustainable solutions with a lucidity and apparent simplicity which belie the complex matrix of issues that shape each project.
Listening, analysis, discussion and clarification are at the heart of an inclusive approach that recognises the fact that some of the best ideas are generated in the space between people rather than by individuals.
Why work with us?
Because, we…
- listen carefully.
- quickly absorb and assimilate the key issues which will shape your project.
- create inventive pragmatic sustainable solutions that will optimise your Brief.
- understand that good communication is the key to working with people, and that many of the best ideas are generated in discussion.
- use our skills to add value, rather than cost.
- develop sustainable designs which are buildable as well as beautiful; practical as well as life-enhancing.
- ultimately, we are committed to producing an individual architecture of lasting quality, which will stand the test of time.
FORMstudio is an RIBA Chartered Practice
I see simplicity not so much as a disregard for complexity but as clarification of the significant
