Founded in 2007 by artist and industrial designer Matthew Castor, FORM design build studio set out to create a unique resource for Pacific Northwest artists, architects, and designers. The studio unifies Castor's ten years of experience in the fields of fine art, design, project management, and restoration. Energized by many of the same principals of the Bauhaus school, FORM unifies art, craft, and technology under one roof to bring together the creative process of the studio artist and the professional needs of developers.
After producing, installing, and project managing nearly 30 public and provate commissions with budgets ranging from $20,000-$185,000, we have developed the background to ensure a smooth workflow throughout a project from inception to dedication. FORM can produce your monumental public artwork, precisiojn prototypes, custom furniture, or architectural elements for your next build project. So whether you're an artist venturing into the world of commissioned work for the first time, or you're a developer looking for assistance managing the "percent for art" component of your next project, consider FORM design build studio as your best resource.
