Who
we are
forma is a small, international studio specialising in sustainable and energy-efficient residential design. We collaborate closely with clients to craft bespoke spaces that reflect individual preferences and enhance quality of life, all while thoughtfully integrating with the surrounding environment.
Our designs are created to maximise natural light, warmth, and views, resulting in homes that are both comfortable and deeply connected to their setting. We offer a variety of architectural services with a particular focus on early-stage design, including concept development and securing planning permission. We're here to guide you at every stage.

Values
At forma, we believe that good design should be accessible to everyone, regardless of location. By working remotely, we’re able to collaborate with clients around the world while keeping communication personal and costs down. We take the time to listen and value our clients’ input at every stage, making sure each project feels collaborative, well considered, and uniquely theirs. Our goal is to help create homes that are thoughtfully designed, affordable to run, environmentally conscious, and achievable within budget.

Approach
We create spaces that are aesthetically compelling and contextually responsive. Each project begins with a careful analysis of the site’s historical, cultural, and environmental background. We explore form, scale, orientation, natural light, views, and materials to create homes that are beautifully resolved and respond appropriately to their surroundings.
To maintain quality and clarity throughout, we follow the RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) Plan of Work. This structured framework guides each stage of the design and construction process.
