Towers, civic buildings and houses, from the first section sketch to handover. We stay on site until the last panel is fixed.
Concept · Planning · Technical design · Site
Interiors drawn together with the building, so material, light and furniture follow one idea from the façade inwards.
Space planning · Materials · Lighting · Furniture
Districts and campuses planned at the scale of the street: where people walk, wait, meet and find shade.
Urban strategy · Public space · Phasing
An in-house lab for timber hybrids, reused concrete and façade systems, tested in physical models at 1:20.
Material studies · Competitions · Models
Formtecture is an architecture studio of 42 people in Rotterdam and Lisbon. We start every building from its section: how you arrive, how you rise, and where the light lands on each floor.
