Architecture
as Art
as Living

Studio Forme interior philosophy
Our Philosophy

Beauty is not
a decoration —
it is a structure

We don't dress spaces. We build them from a feeling outwards.

At Studio Forme, every project begins with the same question: what does this space need to make people feel? Not look — feel. The geometry, the materiality, the light — each is a decision with weight.

We are deliberate slowness in an industry of speed. Our client list is intentionally small, our attention to each project absolute. We do not accept more commissions than we can give properly to.

How We Work

The Process

01
Discovery

We begin with a conversation, not a brief. Understanding how you live — or how your business operates — informs everything that follows.

02
Concept

A single strong idea — not a presentation of options. We develop concepts with conviction, then refine them rigorously with you.

03
Design Development

Drawings, models, materials, light studies. Every decision earns its place in the design through reason and aesthetic rigour.

04
Documentation

Queensland council approvals, construction documentation, and tender packages — managed meticulously by our in-house team.

05
Delivery

We remain on site. Contract administration, builder liaison, and quality oversight until the space is exactly as designed.

About Us

A Teneriffe Studio with a National Reputation

Studio Forme was founded in 2008 by Elise Hartmann and Tom Vaux, two architects who left large practices to build something smaller and more considered — a studio where the principal architects remain on every project, from first sketch to final handover.

Based in a converted woolstore in Teneriffe, our 14-person team works across residential, commercial, and hospitality architecture. We are registered architects with the Architects Board of Queensland.
