Architecture & Engineering

From first sketch to stamped, permit-ready drawings.

Forma Design Studios is a full-service architecture and engineering practice. One studio carries your project from concept design through structural, civil, and construction documents — no handoffs between firms.

What We Do

Design and engineering, without the handoff.

Most projects need an architect and an engineer. Forma gives you both, coordinated from day one, so your drawings are consistent, code-compliant, and ready to submit.

01

Architectural Design

Concept design, space planning, and construction drawings tailored to how the building will actually be used.

02

Structural Engineering

Structural analysis and stamped structural drawings, developed alongside the architectural design rather than after it.

03

Civil Engineering

Site design, grading, and civil documentation coordinated with local municipal requirements.

04

Permit & Stamped Drawings

Complete, stamped drawing sets prepared for permit submission and ready for contractors to build from.

05

Renovations & Additions

Drawings for remodels, additions, and adaptive reuse that respect the constraints of an existing structure.

06

Construction Administration

Support through bidding and construction, so the design intent carries through to the finished building.

Project Types

All types of projects, one studio.

Single-Family Residential Multi-Family & Apartments Commercial & Retail Office & Mixed-Use Industrial & Warehouse Medical & Institutional Restaurants & Hospitality Renovations & Additions Interior Build-Outs
How We Work

A straightforward path from idea to permit.

Leadership

Led by design, backed by engineering.
