Who We Are
Forum Phi is an award-winning, architecture, interior design, and land planning firm founded in Aspen, Colorado in 2006.
Every design decision we make comes from an unwavering commitment to serving people and place. We are inspired by our clients and our surroundings. We dedicate ourselves to unearthing honest, practical, and industry-leading solutions to the obstacles that projects present. Integrity and transparency matter to us.
Our approach is informed by the people with whom we work and the places we get to build. Like the communities we serve in Aspen, Carbondale, and Denver, our projects are built collaboratively, and we celebrate the different people who contribute to the vibrant, multi-dimensional process.
We Are
Architects
As architects we believe that great design pays tribute to people and place. Our design decisions are driven by collaboration, thoughtful composition, and dedication to serving our clients. At the core of our design motivation, we invent spaces that strike a harmony between people, community, and landscape.
Interior
Designers
When architects work collaboratively with interior designers the entire process of building a home is harmonized. Let our interior designers bring the wow factor to your space, increasing function, fluidity, and overall value.
Land
Planners
Our team of experts understands how essential land planning can be to every project. With our extensive knowledge of the Aspen area and beyond, we help our clients navigate the complexities of land-use regulations, permits, and approval processes.
