Philosophy
At Form Studio, we feel that our job as architects is to listen carefully to what our client’s goals are. Each project is different, so it is important to start with an open mind. Our goal is to understand what the client needs, how the end users will experience spaces, and the site conditions & restrictions; and use our focus, creativity, and experience to help create a great solution for the project.
Client participation
To ensure our client’s needs are satisfied we constantly invite our clients to participate and provide input during the design process. We communicate key parts of the project to get the client’s input and keep them informed. This is an important part of any project, and we also understand how to listen and incorporate our client’s ideas and visions.
Creativity
Each of our project designs takes on their own identity and life, as they must respond to their unique site context and the needs & vision of our end users.
Professionalism
We strive to maintain a consistently high level of professional care and responsibility in each project we embark on. Each of our projects takes on an incredible amount of thought, creativity, analysis, and calculation; and we commit our focus to each of these areas.
