Studio

FORM is a small practice that works from the site outwards, and draws interiors and buildings as one thing.

  1. 01

    Place before style

    Each project looks like where it is, not like the last one we built.

  2. 02

    Materials that age well

    We choose surfaces for year twenty, and detail them to be repaired.

  3. 03

    Light as architecture

    Rooms are arranged around where daylight lands. Sections are drawn in week one.

  4. 04

    Constraints as tools

    Narrow plots and tight budgets produce clearer buildings than open briefs do.

  5. 05

    One drawing set

    Architecture and interiors are designed together, by the same people, at the same time.
