One Team, End to End
The building and the spaces within it, from structure to finishes.
About
Forma Nova
A full service architecture and interiors firm in Chicago, designing multifamily, residential, and commercial projects from concept to completion.
Who We Are
One studio,
one idea.
Forma Nova is a full service architecture and interiors firm based in Chicago. We design multifamily, residential, and commercial projects, carrying each one from first concept through construction documents.
Full service means architecture and interiors live under one roof. The same team that shapes a building shapes the rooms within it, so the exterior and the interior answer to a single idea instead of two.
Architecture and interiors, one practice
Many firms do one or the other. Some design buildings. Some design interiors. Forma Nova does both, as one continuous service. From the first sketch to the final detail drawing, a single team holds the vision, so nothing is lost in translation between the architecture and the spaces it contains.
This is the difference you feel in a finished Forma Nova design. The form, the plan, and the interior all answer to one standard, because they all come from one studio.
Timeless elegance, rooted in place
Our mission is to design architecture and interiors that feel inevitable, elegant, durable, and true to the people and the place they serve. Every project balances modern architecture with the climate, light, and context of its site.
Through thoughtful, responsible design, we create places that enhance daily life and stand the test of time.
