Formwerks Architectural In our over twenty years of practice, Formwerks has developed a reputation for sensitive, user-friendly architecture.

This has been achieved by carefully listening to our clients and translating their wishes and needs into architecture that embodies their functional requirements within an artistic building form. Our buildings reflect a public mood for comfort and tradition without the cold and austere qualities found in much of todays architectural mainstream. James Bussey, founder of Formwerks Architectural, has grown the company into a mid-sized versatile architectural firm with a long list of interesting residences and happy clients. Our experience and expertise spans from single-family homes to larger multi-family projects, as well as a variety of commercial use buildings.

Some materials fade with time. Stone only grows richer.⁠
⁠
Chosen for its durability, texture, and timeless character, stone brings a sense of permanence that few materials can match. Thoughtfully integrated throughout this renovation, it will continue to weather beautifully, gaining depth and character for years to come.⁠

British Columbia Day is a reminder that place matters.

From the scale of the landscape to the details of the built environment, our work is continually shaped by the natural and cultural context of BC. Grateful to design within it—and for it.

Enjoy the long weekend.
