We design spaces that feel inevitable — as though they could not have been any other way. Residential, commercial, and interior architecture across South-East Queensland.
Studio Forme is a Brisbane-based architecture and interior design practice. We work across residential, commercial, and hospitality sectors — shaping environments that are as precise as they are poetic. Every project begins with listening.
From Paddington terrace renovations to New Farm waterfront residences — we bring rigour and restraint to every commission in South-East Queensland.
View All ProjectsAt 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.
Begin a ConversationNew builds, renovations, and extensions. From Queenslander restorations in Paddington to contemporary waterfront homes in Bulimba — designed around the life you actually live.
Office fitouts, studio spaces, and commercial buildings across Brisbane's inner suburbs. Environments that attract talent and elevate culture.
Spatial planning, material selection, custom joinery, furniture, and lighting. Interior architecture integrated with the building — not applied after the fact.
Restaurants, bars, boutiques, and showrooms. Spaces designed to create atmosphere and drive commercial success across South-East Queensland.
We begin with a conversation, not a brief. Understanding how you live — or how your business operates — informs everything that follows.
A single strong idea — not a presentation of options. We develop concepts with conviction, then refine them rigorously with you.
Drawings, models, materials, light studies. Every decision earns its place in the design through reason and aesthetic rigour.
Queensland council approvals, construction documentation, and tender packages — managed meticulously by our in-house team.
We remain on site. Contract administration, builder liaison, and quality oversight until the space is exactly as designed.
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.
We take a limited number of new commissions each year. If you're considering a project — however early your thinking — we'd welcome a conversation with no obligation.
