We engaged Andreas to finish the interior and exterior and furnish our brand new penthouse apartment in Athens. We live in Australia and were not able to travel to Athens at the time we engaged Andreas and we relied on him to manage and complete the project for us completely remotely. Andreas used his local connections to execute the project to budget and in a timely manner. He communicated with us very effectively and kept us involved in the project (even if remote) every step of the way. Andreas has fabulous taste and an eye for all the necessary details. His ideas for an appropraite layout and the best furniture to fit our family's needs were all fantastic. Andreas engaged custom furniture makers to customise all the pieces to ensure they fit our unique layout as best as possible. We could not be happier with the finished result and having now spent time in it are very appreciative of all the custom elements that were incorporated to most effectively use all our spaces. He was thoughtful in all of his suggestions whilst accomodating of our requests (our daughter had a number of these for her room!). We could not have completed the project without Andreas' help and we are very thankful to have crossed paths with him. The results far exeeded our expectations. We highly recommend Andreas.

Andreas and Juan helped us to modernize an outdated 1980s duplex condo. Interior kitchen and stairwell walls were removed, giving us open, bright spaces that reflect the way we live. The primary bedroom suite was completely re-imagined to create two separate walk-through dressing rooms and center the sleeping area on the view. And they even figured out a way to create a proper laundry room (a priority for us) to replace a stacked washer/dryer closet. We could not be happier!

My wife Michele and I are working with Andreas and Juan for the second time and cannot imagine working with another team of architects/designers on our new home. They are consummate professionals who have come to understand what we like and what we don't care for. They present many lovely options from a palette they know we'll be comfortable with both in style and price and, thus, most decisions come very easily. Just remarkable. Our first experience with them was in 2013 when we were about to buy a duplex apartment in a landmark building in Greenwich Village in New York. We toyed with idea of doing things on our own, but soon realized we were investing too much money to leave things to our untrained eyes. I happened to be looking at Houzz for some ideas and saw several apartments designed by Andreas that just jumped off the screen. Michele was equally excited Although Forma is based in D.C., Andreas agreed to come to New York and look at our place. What he described to us was nothing less than enthralling. And in execution, it was just as thrilling. Over 8 years, not one visitor has come to our place without remarking on the beauty of the design and its European feel. We decided to move out of the city this year to be near one of our grandsons and to have more space to entertain and host family. We found the perfect place and promptly called Andreas. This collaboration is just as exciting as the first, maybe moreso because Michele has learned a great deal from Andreas and Juan and feels like a team member. I just nod (or don't if I disagree), but once again the design will make this nice house, spectacular. Do yourselves a favor and at the very least consult with Forma. They are terrific.

We hired FORMA Design to help us finish the new apartment we purchased. Other that the floors, the apartment was delivered unfinished, so we asked FORMA to assist us in designing the kitchen, select the appliances, lighting, air conditioning, fixtures and fittings throughout, as well as fully furnish this two bedroom flat in the Gazi area of Athens, with its amazing view of the Acropolis and the Parthenon. The results are amazing, and we couldn’t be happier!

Comment from FORMA Design:

Thanks so much for your kind words.
The views of the Acropolis and the Parthenon are awesome, so getting the interiors to be on par was exciting!

We were fortunate to have found Andreas and Forma Design through Houzz. We were looking for help furnishing our new home. Andreas listened to what we wanted and helped us refine our vision to create a sleek, modern home. He was patient and flexible with us when our timeline changed and was extremely responsive every time we reached out. Andreas has impeccable taste and a keen eye for bold and unique pieces, each of which could stand alone as a work of art. The colors and the theme for each room created a cohesive look and feel throughout the house. The last few items are due to arrive soon and we can't wait to see the finished product! Thank you Andreas for helping us make our house a beautiful home.

Brian, it has been a pleasure working with you and Julie to bring the house to its potential and make it a customized home that accommodates your lifestyle and taste. I trust you will both be very happy there.

Andreas and Juan at Forma Design are experts at transforming a home into a modern showpiece. Their meticulous attention to detail ensures the design will be true to the vision in every aspect, right down to the selection of hardware and placement of electrical outlets. Also, because of Andreas’s keen eye for design and his connections in the industry, we are completing my home renovation with unique and exciting furniture and fixtures that I would not have considered before. I went to Forma with a desire to renovate, and I left with a plan to transform

Comment from FORMA Design:

Thank you, Catherine. We enjoyed working with you and pushing the envelope on your project. Glad you are pleased!

Brian Stro

We worked with several designers & architects in the DC area before we found FORMA Design. Finally, Andreas and his team knew the look we were going for. They worked hard to help us furnish a modern house with pieces that were not only attractive, but comfortable. Those two words are not often used together with modern furniture. They also helped cap off our whole house renovation by transforming a dated bar/entertainment/lounge area into a sleek and gorgeous show piece. They brought the WOW Factor into our project. Andreas and his team have been patient and extremely professional with us and taught us a lot. Thank you all at FORMA Design!

Brian and Barbara- thank you for allowing us to work on your project. We are proud of the results.

I found out about Forma Design on a simple google search, saw their work and awards on local projects and loved their aesthetics. I contacted Andreas and soon after we were walking my property. I expressed the vision I had for the space and over the next few months Andreas and Juan brought the vision to reality. The property has kept a simple palate all the while creating a clean, cutting edge, modern and ultimately breathtaking space. Andreas's creativity along with the technical knowledge brought by Juan took a dated environment and brought it into a creative and avant garde space for the modern day.

Thank you for this endorsement of our work , Bo. The space is indeed breathtaking, but a project is only as good as the client's involvement, and your were a part of this team effort every step of the way, so kudos to you, too..

David and I learned of Forma Design through houzz. Upon meeting Andreas, and looking at his work, we knew we found the best firm in town. Not only did Andreas bring his architectural taste, and expertise to our apartment in DC-but his attention to color, detail, and interior design was innovative while keeping our personal taste his priority. The project was finished in a timely fashion, and we are very happy with everything.

Dear Ruthie and David- thank you so much for this endorsement. It was a pleasure working with you, and for being open minded and allowing us to push the envelope on every level on your project. The results of our collaboration speak for themselves. Thank you!

Andreas & Juan are a pleasure to work with. Over the last 10 years we have collaborated on numerous projects spanning the full realm of Corporate Interiors, Dental Studios & Residential Design. What I appreciate most is their ability quickly and concisely conveys the unique vision they have created to suite the needs of their Project/Clients. I find that my time at their office is always well spent and I take a lot of pleasure being a small park of their amazing designs. Scott

We hired Andreas for the second time to do a full renovation of a 2,500 sf 1900 townhouse in the Logan Circle neighborhood in DC. We wanted a completely open, airy, modern space and Andreas's design delivered it, making a great use of every single space. Despite of the challenges the project presented given the age of the house, everything went smoothly without major surprises and incredible results.

Thank you Manuel! We hope you enjoy your renovated new home for many many years!
