Philosophy

From the comfort of home to the definition of an entire community, our surroundings affect us. Forms + Funktion recognizes the cultural and social magnitude of architecture and design to the human experience and society as a whole.

The design process for architecture is one of evolution and growth that results in artistic expression that is not only observed, but also experienced. By way of interviewing, observation and sincere listening, each client's program is defined. Much thought and analysis is given to the functional and spatial relationships of the program elements and from that solutions are generated.

The interior of a structure is the most direct experience for the individual; thus, meticulous attention is given to the finished materials and furnishings. This level of detail successfully marries the essence of the client's character with the purpose of the space.

The importance of contract administration as the final design service is never underestimated, because it provides the client with a knowledgeable representative for the duration of the building process; thus, helping to insure an adherence to the design intent, project completion in a timely manner and within budget to the client’s satisfaction.

The application of our design philosophy yields structures that are pleasing in form and that function as planned, often times not only meeting, but exceeding the expectations of our clients
