Space,
composed.

A-101 residential · 320 m² · 2024
Warm minimalist living room with curved sofa and oak floors

Atelier Residence

A family home composed around a single oak spine: kitchen, library, and stair drawn as one continuous gesture. Plaster walls, honed stone, nothing that shouts.

A-102 residential · 210 m² · 2023
Refined kitchen with marble waterfall island and globe pendants

Maison Cèdre

A kitchen built for a chef who hates clutter. Concealed storage, a twelve-foot stone island, and light that does the decorating.

A-103 residential · 14 m² · 2025
Serene white bathroom with freestanding tub

Bain de Pierre

A bath carved from a single palette: limestone, brushed brass, and silence. Proof that small rooms deserve the same rigor as large ones.

Eleven people.
One standard.

Forma was founded in 2009 by architect Hélène Marchand. The studio remains deliberately small: eleven architects and designers, two projects per principal, and site visits that never get delegated to strangers.

We publish little and photograph less. Most commissions arrive by referral, which is exactly how we like it.

  4. P-4 · RealizationSite supervision until the last hinge is adjusted.
