About
The people, approach and ideas behind Form & Mortar.
Inside the studio
A building begins with its site
Form & Mortar studies access, weather and how people will use a place at different times of day. Early drawings show what the site allows and which choices need further investigation.
- Site and brief
- Map sun, approach, neighbouring buildings and the ways the site is already used.
- Design review
- Compare options for layout, material and maintenance before moving into detail.
