FORMACHS works where our clients and investors need us — unrestricted by geography, defined only by vision. Our zone of genius is understanding the environment: its culture, its light, its sound, its rhythm. These invisible forces inform every decision we make, and it is this depth of reading a place that elevates a project from well-designed to genuinely unforgettable.
Every project begins with listening — to our clients, yes, but also to the space itself. We study how light moves through a room at different hours. We feel the weight of local materials. We absorb the cultural context. From that foundation, we build worlds that are entirely their own.
Project 01 — Featured Residence
A complete residential transformation — from a soaring double-height living room with stacked stone fireplace, to a master suite with balcony views, to a fully designed outdoor entertaining environment. Interior and exterior, conceived as one.
Manhattan Beach, CA — Full Residential — Interior + Exterior
Stone seating wall, circular travertine pad, lush lawn — an outdoor room built for California living.
Project 02 — Executive Residence
Sophisticated restraint across every room — warm grey palette, paired abstract paintings, floor-to-ceiling stone tile fireplace, and a colour story built around terracotta and deep navy. Calm without being cold.
Calabasas, CA — Full Residential
Floor-to-ceiling stone tile, cream sofa, woven shades — warmth without weight.
Sight lines through arched openings, paired paintings, round dining table — the whole floor as one composition.
Project 03 — Design Essay
White is never just white. In a marble kitchen it is cool and mineral. In a Spanish barrel-ceiling room it is ancient and warm. In a slatted wood bedroom it glows. These four rooms — all in Los Angeles — explore the same non-colour in four entirely different registers.
Los Angeles, CA — Multiple Residences
Carrara marble farmhouse sink, ebonized island, unlacquered brass — cool, precise, luxurious.
Slatted cedar accent wall, globe chandelier, Hermès throw — white that glows amber at dusk.
Overscale canvas being placed, sculptural chandelier, white oak table — the room mid-creation.
Barrel ceiling, plaster fireplace, collected objects — white that has been there for centuries.
Botanical wallcovering, antique farm table, iron accents — a room that tells a story.
Hand-glazed artisan tile on dark paneled wall — the fireplace as focal sculpture.
Shell-carved medallions, lacquered chinoiserie, antique oil canvas — a grand salon in Barbados that honors history without repeating it.
Reclaimed beams, live-edge coffee table, cognac leather chairs.
Herringbone stone backsplash, warm oak cabinetry, professional appliances.
From the stone yard to the job site — FORMACHS is present at every stage. We source materials personally, direct installations ourselves, and stay until the space is exactly right.

Construction Phase
Kitchen build — stone floor installation
Complete environments from concept through installation. Spatial planning, material specification, custom furniture, lighting design, and art curation — nothing left to chance.
Early-stage design collaboration with architects and developers. We translate structural possibility into spatial vision before a single wall is built.
Commercial spaces that embody brand identity — from Los Angeles to London, wherever the work calls us. Offices, showrooms, and hospitality environments designed to communicate character without words.
Great design comes from reading a place deeply — its culture, its light, its sound, its vibe — and letting that understanding drive every decision. Rigorous method. Relentless curiosity. No boundaries.
Extended conversations about life, habit, and aspiration. The brief writes itself from what we learn.
A singular idea that governs every decision — materials, light, proportion, texture all answer to it.
Drawings, samples, prototypes. We refine until every detail serves the whole.
Full project management. On-site, hands-on, present until the space is exactly right.
