The 50 Best Places to Work in 2018 (Honorable Mention)
Our Design Philosophy
At Forum Phi, every project begins with a story — of the land, the community, and the people who will call it home. We believe architecture should feel rooted, as if it naturally belongs to its place. In the mountain region, and especially Park City, that means creating spaces that honor the landscape while supporting the way people live within it.
Our team of architects, interior designers, and land planners brings decades of collective experience, but more importantly, a shared passion for thoughtful design. We approach each project as a true collaboration, listening carefully and shaping ideas together until they feel both timeless and uniquely personal.
The result is architecture that doesn’t just sit on the land but grows from it—spaces that feel connected, intentional, and deeply meaningful.
Architecture & Design
At Forum Phi, our architectural process begins with careful observation of land, light, and the lives a space will hold. We offer design services that respond directly to each site, always keeping in mind the balance of clarity and restraint. Each of our architectural and interior design projects integrates with the environment, resulting in design that feels timeless, understated, and connected to its surroundings.
Residential Architecture
Our residential architecture work is defined by intimacy and precision. Our architects design custom homes that reflect the unique terrain of their setting and the personality of those who inhabit the home. From schematic design through construction, we consider how light enters a room, how a home settles into its landscape, and how every element serves both function and feeling. The result is an entirely personal space, built for the way you live.
Hospitality Design
We approach hospitality architecture and interior design with the same care and intentionality as our residential work. We know how people want to live and are experienced in designing spaces that reflect both the identity of a space and the architectural language of the region. Whether shaping a modern restaurant or boutique luxury hotel, we focus on proportion, material, and flow, creating environments that support utility while contributing to the long-term fabric of the community.
Renovation & Transformation
Renovation is an opportunity to rediscover potential. We help clients reimagine existing homes and buildings with subtlety and respect. Whether restoring historic structures or updating contemporary spaces, our architects work with intention to maintain character while introducing modern appeal and improved function. Each renovation is approached with the same care as a new build, continuously led by purpose, guided by context, and aligned with the larger story behind the project.
Sustainable Architecture Integration
Sustainability is embedded in how we think and work at Forum Phi. Our architectural services incorporate environmentally responsible systems, passive strategies, and natural materials whenever possible. In Park City, where land and landscape are the foundation of design, we strive to create buildings that perform efficiently, last longer, and reflect the values of both client and place, supporting a more thoughtful and lasting future.
Design to Completion: FAQs About Working With a Park City Architect
What types of architectural projects does Forum Phi specialize in?
Our architects work across a wide range of project types, including custom homes, residential renovations, adaptive reuse, and select hospitality and commercial developments. Each architectural project, whether nestled in the landscape or part of the urban fabric, is approached with a commitment to design with intention.
Do your architects integrate sustainable and eco-friendly design?
Yes. Sustainability is integral to our approach. We incorporate energy-efficient systems, locally sourced materials, and passive strategies that reflect both environmental responsibility and the values of our clients. This approach means there is a deep consideration for the environment while creating something that enhances the enjoyment of it.
How does Forum Phi approach timelines and budgets?
We believe architecture is a balance between vision and execution. Our team maintains clear communication throughout the entire process, setting expectations early, providing consistent updates throughout the process, and adapting when needed to keep each project aligned with both timeline and investment goals.
What sets Forum Phi apart from other Park City architects?
Forum Phi offers a refined, collaborative approach to architecture that draws from a deep understanding of mountain living. Our team is made up of architects, designers, and planners who work as one, delivering spaces that are intentional, uniquely suited to their setting. We collaborate with all members of the team: the client, consultants and contractor, to deliver a superior, seamlessly integrated design. We don’t approach any project as ‘one of many’ – instead, we commit to each project individually, investing the time and energy into bringing that project to life.
