About
Studio Forma faced a unique challenge when tasked with transforming a century-old heritage building into a modern, custom-designed office space. The goal was to preserve the historical integrity of the structure while creating a functional and inspiring work environment. The building’s rich past was not just to be maintained but celebrated, serving as a foundation upon which new design elements could be introduced.
Our Goal
Upon entering the building, one is immediately struck by the harmonious blend of old and new. Studio Forma meticulously restored the original brickwork, stair railing and hardwood floors, allowing these features to tell the story of the building’s storied history. The bricks and the worn grain of the timber became integral parts of the office’s character, providing a warm, textured backdrop that contrasts beautifully with the sleek, modern furnishings.
Custom Elements
Using the logo as inspiration, we have taken the hexagon theme to the next level. We also incorporated the brand colours which are orange and teal to really create a playful yet professional space.
Custom elements
Every place you look there are custom elements in this design, from the front closet that was converted to a quiet space to the custom wall mural, to the wall detail going up the stairwell. Every detail was considered and implement with a nod to the heritage bones of the building.
