New Year approaching

2009 has been an amazing year for Form Field Studio.

Here's an update of what we're working on.

Our second residential renovation for this year in Fairway, Kansas has just been permitted and will begin construction next week. We just finished initial programming with the St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Austin, Minnesota and will have round one of master planning options to them soon. And the new construction home in Iowa continues to evolve.

On the new projects front...we have started working with MAC Properties to renovate an abandoned building in Hyde Park into modern for-lease units.

We are very excited to announce that as of this autumn, we are now participating in the 1% program through Public Architecture. And it looks like our first partnership with a local non-profit is in the works. Learn more about the 1%!
