Sōform Studio stands out by treating architecture as a biological tool for recovery rather than just a visual style. While most boutique firms focus on surface-level "modern aesthetics," we specialize in Cognitive Architecture, designing spaces that actively regulate the nervous system and restore mental clarity for high-performance individuals. By layering the Japanese philosophy of Sō (intentional depth) with neurological precision in light, sound, and sustainable materials, we transform the home into a recovery vessel that reduces cortisol and optimizes human performance—ensuring your environment doesn’t just look beautiful, but actually makes you feel and function better.

Simply put, it is design that respects how the human brain works. Instead of just focusing on trends, we look at how a space impacts your stress levels, focus, and sleep. We use elements like natural light, acoustic zoning, and spatial flow to create environments that actively support your mental well-being.

When you hire a large firm, your project is often handed off to junior staff. At Sōform Studio, you work directly with the principal. You get our full attention, a single point of contact, and a personal partnership from the first sketch to the final walk-through.

Every project is unique. We typically structure our fees as a percentage of construction costs or a fixed fee for smaller scopes. During our initial Discovery Call, we will discuss your budget honestly to ensure we can deliver value that matches your investment.

We specialize in modern residential renovations, additions, and new custom homes. We also work with select commercial clients (like offices, coffee shops or wellness spaces) who want to improve occupant health. Whether it’s a single room audit or a full build, we look for clients who value thoughtful, lasting design.

Good design takes time, but it saves money and stress during construction. A typical renovation design phase might take 2–4 months, while a new custom home can take 4–8 months before construction begins. We will provide a detailed timeline specific to your project after our initial consultation.

Yes. Think of the architect as the composer and the contractor as the orchestra. We create the vision and the technical roadmap (the drawings), and the contractor builds it. We work closely with your builder throughout the process to ensure the design is executed correctly and the quality meets our standards.
