Welcome to Forma Projects
Three specialist practices, one collaborative studio.
FORMA delivers architecture, remediation, and education projects shaped by clarity, technical expertise, and purpose.
FORMA Architects
Over the past three decades, FORMA Architects has grown and evolved, making a notable impact on the built environment in New Zealand. We’re recognized as a leading, award-winning architectural practice known for business innovation and creating buildings that respond to their landscape, culture, community, and clients’ requirements.
EDUFORMA
Our team are experts in education design. We’ve delivered around 300 education projects nationwide, using our experience to add extra value to your project.
Considering the diverse needs of different cultures, neurodivergent learners, and accessibility requirements, we create inclusive and modern learning environments that cater to all children.
Master Plans, New Builds, 5YA Projects, ILE upgrades, or remediation jobs — we deliver them all.
REFORMA
RE–FORMA is a team of architects with specialist expertise in remediation and recladding.
With decades of experience across commercial buildings, schools, homes, and apartment blocks, we bring deep knowledge and a practical, solutions-focused approach to every project.
We understand the stress and complexity of weathertightness issues. That’s why we combine technical expertise with clever design thinking — not just to resolve problems, but to improve performance, add value, and deliver long-term outcomes.
If you’re dealing with a building that has weather-tightness issues and need a reliable, professional partner to guide you through the process, RE–FORMA is here to help.
Championing inclusive design that reflects local identity, supports well-being, and embraces the future.
At FORMA we believe in designing spaces that inspire and serve the diverse needs of those who interact with them.
We create sustainable, inclusive, and thoughtful solutions tailored to the unique context of each project — from high-end residences to educational institutions and commercial developments. Our work is guided by a deep respect for culture, accessibility, and the environment, ensuring every project contributes positively to the built landscape and the communities it serves.
