Working with FIF has been professional and a joy. They are artists and craftsman, excellent builders, engineers and philosophers. They have deepened the meaning of building and creating space/shelter for us and helped us navigate what can be a daunting (yet exciting) experience. Most importantly they want to make their clients happy and work in collaboration and relationship to achieve this goal. **★★★★★ — Liz, Feb. 2017** > I reviewed from (in) form after the completion of our whole house renovation in 2016. Unfortunately I can no longer stand behind my recommendation and five star score. I have deleted that review as the house has not withstood the test of time. We have had very significant structural and water damage to the house secondary to shoddy construction practices. The time, money and disruption to reinstate the integrity of the house, by another contractor, has been considerable. **★★★★★ — 2keene, Feb. 2014** > from \[in} form did an AMAZING job on our home renovation. We live in a 1960's contemporary home which needed a lot of updating inside. They did the following work for us: > > They transformed two strangely connected upstairs bedrooms into a beautiful, open and inviting master bedroom and bathroom. They took advantage of the window configuration that was already in the two bedrooms, and installed new windows with such precise interior execution as to not need any interior trim. This adds to a sleek modern look and an airy feel. There is an elevated reading area, and a large walk in closet next to it, they stopped the interior wall bewteen the reading area and the closet short, so that they could incorporate uplighting in between. It is so cool. The master bathroom is a hidden oasis. It is a large bathroom with high windows for natural lighting. We have an eight foot double shower with a feature wall of marble tile that expands the entire back wall of the bathroom. They figured out a way to angle the floor just slightly so that the water drains perfectly with no visible drain. > > Downstairs we had a diamond in the super rough....a daylight basement that we knew had potential but we had no idea it could become what it did. Jason and Adrienne worked with us to turn this previously darkish somewhat freaky space that had a drop ceiling with weird heating vents running all over it, into the lightest, happiest room of our home. They pulled down the ceiling and suggested to just keep the exposed beams which gave the room a much bigger feel. For lighting they put in bulbs in between every other beam - the lights are installed parallel to the ceiling, rather than the normal perpendicular, so the light glows between the beams. The flooring is a smooth, industrial grade epoxy (I think) that looks like deep water. Hard to explain, but really, really interesting. They also redid a downstairs bathroom in that room and reconfigured it completely and changing one wall into glass (frosted) to take advantage of the light coming through the daylight basement windows. > > With the removal of the heating ducts, they also had to re-think how to heat the basement, the upstairs master bedroom and another small room downstairs. They did this by installing energy efficient heating/cooling units in each of those rooms. > > Additionally, they renovated an old storage room, turning it into a home gym (same epoxy floor, removal of all old built ins, heating unit, paint) and gutted and redid a main level powder room. > > We thoroughly enjoyed our experience working with from \[in\] form and would highly recommend the company to anyone, without any reservation. They worked closely with us, they took account of ALL of our input and came up with interesting cost-efficient ways to incorporate our wishes, they were extremely transparent and detailed with their billing/pricing and they were absolutely respectful of our home and our family during the renovation. They showed up every single day, never left us hanging, never left us questioning when they were coming back or finishing up. It was an outstanding experience and we could not be happier with our home. **★★★★★ — kathodges, Feb. 2014** > To whom it may concern: > > I reached out to Jason and Adrienne at from \[in\] form in order to solve a spatial and aesthetic problem. There were conditions in my apartment that I wanted changed, but were too big and too complex to do myself. I was aware of them through Jason's architecture teaching at RISD, where I was a graduate student in Fine Art, and he had worked on a great project in my building for a neighbor. I was concerned that maybe my project was too small for a architecture firm, but initiated a meeting, and they assured me that no project was too big or too small. > > They helped me redesign the layout of my loft apartment, centered around the relocation and redesign of an existing spiral staircase. The spiral stair was not only an eyesore, but it was poorly located, blocking light and taking up prime real estate on my second floor. As an artist myself, I had very specific ideas what I wanted and didn't want, and Jason and Adrienne were wonderful and patient with me in that I expected to be very involved in the design process. We were able to work together to come up with a gorgeous solution, which is now the most beautiful feature of the apartment, and draws light into the darker area of the loft instead of blocking it. They were willing to take all of my drawings and ideas into consideration on the design. They took my ideas and made them "real" and made them "work". They oversaw in-detail the complicated preparation, fabrication and installation of a custom steel and wood staircase. It was impressive. Their design also reconfigured the flow the the entire space by carefully placing it in a new location that I had not imagined, ultimately doing much more than just serving as a staircase. They were indispensable in regard to navigating rules and regulations, permits, city codes, and inspections. They were on-time and on-budget, and readily available if I had any question, request, or concern. Working with them was a very satisfying experience, as both an artist AND a homeowner. I had set out to replace a staircase, and though my conversations with them about what I hoped to do, ended up with an entire remodel, a new bathroom upstairs which I never thought was possible, and a re-configured kitchen which is a vast improvement. I would say their design directive is expansive and visionary - them came in to see about a stair, and ended up looking into solving a number of challenges in my space with just a few moves. They are also keen and focused when it comes to the details and practicalities. They were very flexible when I wanted to adjust or modify their initial designs. They made it possible, almost, for me to be a guest designer, which I realize is no small feat. Working with them was informative, engaging, and a true collaboration. Jason's experience as a master craftsman and a builder is the perfect compliment to their architecture and design skills, and is rare and valuable. > > Their firm is very personal and warm, and it seems that community and shared creativity is a high priority for them. They have a great team, and I would absolutely work with them again. In fact, I'm not sure I would work with anyone else. I have brought them/their team in since then on some smaller tasks and for a variety of questions and advice. I recommend them very highly. **★★★★★ — steph3583, Aug. 2013** > Jason and his team are amazing, highly skilled professionals. With just a few improvements, our home has a completely updated look that fits our style. Jason's design and craftsmanship are the best! ## Selected projects - [Farm House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/farm-house-pj-vj~7810501) - Location: Little Compton, RI - Photos: 14 - [A Cabin Afield](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-cabin-afield-pj-vj~5980245) - Location: Little Compton, RI - Photos: 29 - Description: We dwell in protection; when protected, we are able to take risks. Our clients own a 70 acre farm stretching from a main road to the banks of a saltwater pond. Yet the existing house by the road left them feeling disconnected from the dense New England woods, old farm paths, and salty breeze they so value in their surroundings. The project is a threshold to the natural environment beyond. Both architecture and site create a series of layers of protection. Each layer passed shields the past, expo… - [Art\[i\]fact House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/artifact-house-pj-vj~3877734) - Location: Barrington, RI - Photos: 37 - Description: This home has a past. An age old Cape Cod with one bedroom, one bath, an attic, a basement, and a screened-in porch. from \[in\] form purchased the property in 2012 as an opportunity to design and build our first spec home. Our practice is to listen deeply, to hear what has been passed on. In order to create, we dwell in spaces that comfort and inspire one’s individuality; out of individuality we construct our collective place in time. Our attempt is to bring from into form. This project stems fro… - [Horizon House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/horizon-house-pj-vj~2716841) - Location: Warwick, RI - Photos: 17 - Description: Located on the west bank of the Providence River overlooking Marsh Island, the existing ranch’s eastern view immediately served as a driver for the project. The house is a mediating presence between our clients and the environment, a frame for the world beyond its extents. The long, low aspect of the carport from the street holds the horizon. To enter the house one moves along its long edge before turning to face the water directly. From the entry there is a tripartite view of the world: sky thr… - [Waterfront House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/waterfront-house-pj-vj~1529689) - Location: East Providence, RI - Photos: 25 - Description: A celebration of the daily rituals of a newly married couple, this renovation and master suite addition represents a new phase of life for an existing home. The addition is skewed at an angle to the existing house while the ridge remains in line, giving the addition its unique geometry as well as its inclined eave and overhang. This angle also orients the views from the master suite to the cove beyond and makes space for a new entry foyer. The master suite, consisting of a bedroom and a full bat… - [Providence Loft](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/providence-loft-pj-vj~174316) - Location: Providence, RI - Photos: 31 - Description: The objective of this project was to compose a two-story master suite and roof terrace atop the Imperial Knife Building in downtown Providence's historic Jewelry District. The slippage of spaces, structure and details informs the production of the project. On the upper level, the old mill roof is cut and slipped downwards, suspended between the roof plane and the floor beneath. The suspended roof serves as the new floor plane for the master bedroom. Around it, a new wooden deck rests on the exis… - [East Side Providence Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/east-side-providence-kitchen-pj-vj~2239794) - Location: Providence, RI - Photos: 4 - Description: Our clients, a food writer and an academic, were looking to undertake a kitchen renovation and re-think the existing ground floor circulation of their 1950s Modernist residence on the East Side of Providence. We proposed to re-align the kitchen to place its functions at the heart of the house. A single gesture improves the flow towards the back patio and provides more storage. Custom walnut cladding wraps the pantry storage and three faces of the kitchen island, turning volumes into a study in s… - [Pass/Past](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pass-past-pj-vj~4427134) - Location: Providence, RI - Photos: 19 - [Riverside House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/riverside-house-pj-vj~434444) - Location: East Providence, RI - Photos: 33 - Description: This project was conducted in two phases. The first phase consisted of a second floor addition to a 750 sf Cape in order to double the square footage of the existing house. Part of the existing rooflines on the front and rear of the house were extended to meet at two new ridge locations, giving rise to the geometry of the house. The second phase will include enclosing part of the original driveway, a first floor kitchen and dining remodel, and exterior deck and shed. It aims to complete the re-t… - [Warren Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/warren-residence-pj-vj~4427542) - Location: Warren, RI - Photos: 10 - Description: Purchased as their retirement home, this ranch at the edge of a large wetland answered our clients’ desire for privacy, a natural setting, and a combination of shared and independent space. After living and creating there for three years, the fiber artist and composer asked if we could help ensure they would be able to continue living there, come what may as they age. We reconfigured the private half of the original ranch house to separate public half bath from private master suite. The new mast… - [Huban Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/huban-residence-pj-vj~452766) - Location: Providence, RI - Photos: 23 - [Imperial Loft](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/imperial-loft-pj-vj~180679) - Location: Providence, RI - Photos: 24 - [Smoke + Steam](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/smoke-steam-pj-vj~174309) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - Description: This backyard sauna was an attempt to find solace within the thick concrete and asphalt ground that is Providence's West Side. The structure and detailing of the sauna draws from the ritual of steam baths, the suspension of moisture and bodies in air, and the vision and haptics of darkness. - [Wood Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wood-residence-pj-vj~174322) - Location: Warwick, RI - Photos: 26 [See all 14 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/design-build-firms/from-in-form-llc-pfvwus-pf~2114200716) ## Community Q&A **Q: awesome sink & faucet.** *(in Photo Questions)* im assuming they're salvaged materials but can you tell me specifically what type of sink this is and how this was done? I'm so in love with this set up!!! very cool! loving the vanity as well!! A: We bought the cast iron sink salvaged. It was intended to be a "drop in" sink but we propped it up with the side panels (2x material) to make it into a vessel sink. We patina'ed the bottom with a salt and vinegar and left it in the rain. We did the same thing with the cast iron tub to get the patina on the bottom.
