Beach House is a sculptural response to its coastal setting, defined by a procession of stone columns along its longest façade. Light filters through the colonnade, casting measured shadows that animate the interior throughout the day. Inside, a rich palette of dark wood and red marble creates a grounded, tactile environment that feels both elemental and refined. The architecture invites a slower pace, where spatial rhythm and material depth shape a continuous dialogue between landscape and interior. Every detail is composed to heighten the experience of place, permanence, and quiet retreat.

This wine cellar and tasting room is conceived as a quiet study in proportion, material, and light. Designed as a refined, immersive space, it balances warmth and precision through a restrained palette of natural stone, wood, and matte finishes. The architecture emphasizes rhythm and alignment—from the gridded shelving system to the soft glow cast across dark vertical surfaces. The concealed entry sets the tone for a space meant to be discovered gradually, while the bar and cellar invite lingering, conversation, and appreciation. At every scale, the design reflects a commitment to craft, clarity, and spatial calm.

Upper West Side Fitness reimagines the gym as an elevated urban sanctuary, minimal yet richly tactile, refined yet raw in energy. Sculpted from warm wood, soft light, and rhythmic arches, the space balances rigor and repose. Each zone, whether for cardio, strength, or recovery, is defined by clean geometry and a palette that evokes both sophistication and calm. Velvet shadows, curated materials, and carefully framed views create moments of pause in a place designed for movement. More than a gym, it’s a spatial experience, one that invites clarity, focus, and ritual in the heart of Manhattan.

Patrick received an accredited degree in architecture from Ball State University while winning first place in two studio wide design competitions and receiving honorable mention on a third. During this time, he worked a series of stents at Design Collaborative, focusing on community development and workplace projects. Patrick continued his passion for community based projects and joined the Perkins and Will Chicago office for an internship, working on the development of the Oak Park Community Center.
After graduating Patrick joined Skidmore, Owings and Merrill SF with his first project conceptualizing the future of the Architecture and Business Building. Other highlights include conceptualization and development of several workplace towers around the globe and a series of lab and office campuses in the Bay Area. Patrick left the San Francisco office after designing a new mixed use high rise tower for the skyline of San Francisco.
Now being located in New York and working for the SOM NY office, Patrick continues to pursue his passion for design and collaboration. The skills and knowledge he gained from these experiences has afforded him the opportunity to co-found Form Two and develop architecture at a residential scale.

Carmen earned her Bachelor of Arts in Architecture from the University of New Mexico and went on to complete a Master of Architecture at UC Berkeley. With a strong dedication to community-centered design, she began her career with Albuquerque Public Schools, collaborating on projects focused on enhancing educational spaces for local communities. Her public-sector work continued after she moved to the Bay Area, where she joined the San Francisco Bureau of Architecture and became part of the team designing the city’s public libraries.
Seeking to expand her expertise, Carmen transitioned into the private sector, working with notable firms like SmithGroup and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. In these roles, she took on a range of high-end, large-scale commercial, residential, and hospitality projects. Her work took her to international markets, where she gained exposure to diverse design practices and cultural nuances.
Later, Carmen relocated to New York, where she joined LSM and honed her project management skills, gaining a deeper understanding of the later phases of architecture, including construction administration and project closeout. This blend of public and private sector experience, combined with her technical and design knowledge across project stages, ultimately led her to co-found Form Two, where she now applies her expertise to residential projects, balancing aesthetic vision with community-focused, functional design.

This design creates a sense of privacy for the main living spaces while offering visitors a striking and welcoming entrance.
Composed of three low-slung brick volumes connected by two taller wood-clad wings, the Steuben Home creates a striking interplay of form and material. Expansive openings in the upper volumes frame panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, blending indoor comfort with natural beauty.
A soaring entryway with high ceilings and unobstructed vistas set the tone for the home’s serene elegance. A double-sided gas fireplace anchors a cozy sitting area and the main living room, offering both warmth and a sense of privacy, welcoming guests while preserving the intimacy of the home’s core spaces.
