Architects FORA believes everyone deserves beauty, security, and joy; we exist to solve some of the world’s toughest design challenges. Right now that challenge is the supply of affordable, accessible, and abundant housing, so our mission is to create vibrant, resilient, and equitable housing at all scales.

FORA’s extensive housing portfolio features over a million square feet and over 2,300 housing units in a wide variety of award-winning developments built over 40 years. FORA’s designs honor and support diverse populations, including very- and extremely-low income residents, seniors, families, the formerly homeless, and developmentally disabled adults. With an attention to materiality, sustainable design, dynamic programming, and community engagement, FORA creates housing that fosters connection, wellness, and empowerment for its residents and the larger neighborhood as a whole.

We are a group of diverse and intentional designers with a desire to create enduring, high-performance, living-centered environments. As a 100% women-owned virtual practice, we’re known for doing things differently than your typical architecture firm. Identified by our peers as a uniquely feminist practice, we are inclusive, collaborative, compassionate, and adaptable activists and designers.
