form:form architects

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.
