Architects and Architectural Designers
form:form architects is a talented Shropshire based design studio established in 2014 to provide inspirational architecture for commercial and private clients throughout the UK. The practice draws on the impressive portfolio experience of its director Steven Hayward who has held key positions in nationally and internationally respected practices prior to establishing form:form. The practice was formed by Steve Hayward, a chartered architect with over 15 years’ experience of designing award winning buildings, a Civic Trust Awards Assessor, and a visiting Critic at the Birmingham School of Architecture. We apply an inclusive and collaborative approach fostering creative dialogue with clients, consultant teams, contractors and end users, as well as an active exchange between the disciplines of architecture, art, design, and urbanism. Central to our philosophy is that design is generated by the needs of people, regardless of size or scale of the design opportunity. We actively encourage our client involvement so that we may fully understand the key considerations for every project, and to consider sustainability, environmental issues and using natural, healthy materials where possible. We work in all areas of the residential sector, from small scale extensions and refurbishments, to bespoke houses and also multiple unit schemes. We are often involved with very challenging and sensitive designs and site contexts, whether it be designing an extension to a listed building or creating an iconic one-off contemporary design for a new build or multiple-unit scheme. We believe in engaging with the client from the outset to ensure that the aspirations and economic necessities of the design brief combine with innovation and technical expertise to deliver unique places to live. This philosophy applies equally to large and small bespoke houses for individual clients, multiple homes for developers and social housing providers and alterations to existing residential buildings.

We employed form:form after interviewing three different architects. Our project was to take down the tiny kitchen and dining room of our Victorian mid-terrace town house and use the resulting space along with the side return to create a large kitchen and living space. We chose Steve because he clearly understood that we wanted a project that would combine a creative and imaginative approach with new but not untested building materials and methods. We were also keen to get value for money. The final build has come in at the lower end of the price range listed below. From the start Steve showed that he was on top of the job. In particular he listened very carefully to our ideas and provided us with a number of design solutions. From there he was happy to modify and change ideas in discussion with our ideas. As a professional architect he was able to realise our vision but also to add solutions that only an expert would have considered. Plans were drawn up quickly and efficiently. Steve offered us a variety of follow up support packages and although we only bought minimal support from him he was prepared to keep involved. The build turned out to be problematic due to builder based issues that were nothing to do with Steve. He could have left us to it but to his great credit he kept himself involved and played a decisive part in moving the project to completion. We think that we have got a cutting edge design that will have a really positive affect on our lives for some time to come. This in large part is down to Steve at form:form.

Great design ideas and good service. Essential help getting plans through planning - it wouldn't have happened without the professional persistence of Form Form Architects. We have already recommended them to colleagues who have also now received advice and are happy with the service provided.

Steve at form: form architects gave us a first class, professional service from start to finish. We wanted innovative designs for the extension and refurbishment of our home. Steve's creative solutions have provided us with a truly brilliant design and his advice throughout the planning process was invaluable. We couldn't be happier!
