Architectural Design

At Forum Phi, we partner with clients in Carbondale to create extraordinary spaces that bring their visions to life. Our architectural approach centers on creating spaces that foster connection and integrate with their surroundings. From the initial planning stages to construction observation, we guide you through every phase, ensuring your project is executed as intended. Whether you’re building a mountain retreat or a modern home in the heart of Carbondale, our team’s architectural expertise will help you create a space that reflects your unique style and aspirations.

We provide a comprehensive range of design services to guide your project from concept to completion. We begin with site analysis and planning services, documenting existing structures and site features, evaluating the project landscape, and working closely with you to define the architectural style, key details, and project goals.

Our schematic design services encompass hand sketching, precedent imagery review, 3D modeling, and rendering to develop and refine the project's vision through interactive collaboration. We then provide consultant coordination and permitting support, handling logistics, reviewing proposals, and ensuring seamless integration between all trades to create the necessary design development for permitting. To facilitate construction, we deliver additional detailed documentation, preparing the drawings required to build the design intent and level of quality. Throughout the building process, our construction observation services ensure quality execution through regular site visits and contractor coordination, bringing your design to life precisely as envisioned.

Interior Design

At Forum Phi, we specialize in crafting interiors that reflect the individuality of each homeowner in Carbondale. Our designs seamlessly blend timeless elegance with contemporary luxury, ensuring every space is not only beautiful but functional for modern living. We focus on creating cohesive, inspiring interiors tailored to Carbondale’s distinctive mountain lifestyle and beauty, ensuring each design choice enhances the overall experience of living in your home.

We offer a full range of design services, from initial concept development to final white glove, turnkey, installation. Our research and programming services begin with an in-depth discussion about your preferences and goals, allowing us to create tailored design concepts through hand sketches, imagery, and renderings. As the design takes shape, we provide material selection and documentation services, develop digital or physical design boards, source finishes and fixtures, and prepare all necessary schedules and material selections for construction and permitting. Our construction documentation services ensure that every detail, from 3D models to final specifications, is meticulously refined for seamless execution.

Our construction observation services maintain quality and precision throughout the build by coordinating with stakeholders, reviewing shop drawings, and overseeing on-site progress. Additionally, our selection and procurement services help you curate, purchase, and install custom furniture, fixtures, and accessories, ensuring your home is both functional and beautifully finished.
