Explore the work
Architecture with a clear point of view. We design homes, cultural spaces and careful transformations — from the first conversation to the last junction.
Form, light and the space in between.
Different briefs. One commitment to buildings that work as well as they look.
A building with an open edge
Culture · A study in public space and sheltered thresholds
The softer side of the city
Architecture · Curved edges, clear routes and room to gather
Nothing incidental.
The route through a building is part of the architecture. A stair, a threshold, a shaft of daylight: every transition is designed, not left over.

WHAT A THRESHOLD
CAN CHANGE.
A closer look at the open edge study.
The question
How can a public building offer shelter without turning its back on the street? This illustrative concept study begins at the boundary, not the front door.
The response
Extend the covered edge. Keep the route legible. Let the underside of the canopy define a place to pause before entering. One architectural move, several everyday uses.
Stillform is an independent architecture practice working across new buildings, interiors and the adaptation of existing places. We look for the strongest idea in the brief — then make every decision support it.
We work directly with clients, consultants and makers. Fewer hand-offs, clear drawings and material choices that stand up to everyday use.
GOOD BUILDINGS
BEGIN WITH LISTENING.
A clear process leaves more room for good decisions. Here is what working together looks like.
Read the place.
We begin with the site, the existing building and the people who will use it. We discuss priorities, constraints and what a successful project needs to make possible.
Test the idea.
Plans, sections and material studies make the options tangible. We compare the implications together before committing to a direction.
Stay with the build.
The drawings become instructions, not just intentions. Details, specifications and conversations on site keep the central idea intact as the building takes shape.
Architecture
New houses, thoughtful additions and small cultural buildings, shaped around the way they will be used.
Interiors
Rooms, joinery and material choices considered together, not added at the end.
Existing buildings
A careful reading of what is already there. Repair, adaptation and a new chapter without losing the old one.
A material is more than a finish. Its thickness, its edge and the way it meets the next surface all change how a space feels.
Resolve the junction.
Where wall meets floor, where a hand finds a rail: the smallest meeting points carry the whole idea.
Let materials be themselves.
Texture, grain and construction marks can bring character without adding another layer of decoration.
Think beyond handover.
We consider cleaning, repair and the way surfaces change with use — not only how they look on the first day.
