Who we are
FORMA Architecture 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 surroundings.
We offer a variety of architectural services with a particular focus on early-stage design, including concept development and securing planning permission. At FORMA Architecture, we're here to guide you at every stage. Click below to learn more.
Our Values
At FORMA Architecture, we believe that exceptional design should be accessible to everyone, regardless of location. Operating entirely remotely, we collaborate with clients across the globe, from the UK to the rest of Europe, the US, and beyond. If you have any questions or would like to discuss a potential project, please don’t hesitate to email us at hello@formaarchitecture.co.uk or schedule a complimentary 30-minute consultation using the link below.
Approach
Our approach thoughtfully addresses key aspects to create spaces that are both aesthetically compelling and contextually responsive. We analyse the building’s historical, cultural, and environmental context, in addition to exploring form, scale, orientation, natural light, views, and materials. This allows us to design homes that are both attractive and respond appropriately to their setting.
To ensure quality and consistency at every stage of the process, we follow the RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) Plan of Work. Click below to learn more about our approach.
Portfolio
Our portfolio features a diverse range of residential projects across the UK, Europe, and the US, highlighting our expertise in creating tailored spaces. From bespoke new-build homes designed around client needs to thoughtfully crafted extensions that enhance existing spaces and renovations that revitalise older properties, each project reflects our commitment to quality and innovation.
Our work also includes annexes and ADUs for additional accommodation, purpose-built garden rooms that seamlessly connect indoor comfort with outdoor enjoyment, a tranquil yoga studio designed for focus and calm, and a two-storey indoor climbing wall.
