About Formwell Studio

Formwell Studio is a residential design studio grounded in the belief that a home should not solely be about how it looks, it should support how you feel inside of it. We create intentional, enduring spaces with equal care for form and function that make everyday living feel beautifully effortless.

Who We Are

Mike is a designer with over a decade of experience in architecture, residential design, development and project management throughout the greater Bay Area and Sacramento. He holds a Bachelor of Architecture from California College of the Arts.

Formwell Studio was built on a love for thoughtfully considered homes and a deep respect for the lives lived within them. Our approach is relational, not transactional. We take the time to understand your rhythms, your values, and how you want to feel in your space. It’s this attentiveness that allows us to create designs that resonate on a deeper level.

Intentional Design

We believe that every detail should have a reason and that simplicity, when done well, is deeply luxurious.

Our Values

Client Partnership

We don’t impose a style. We guide, we listen, and we work collaboratively to shape a space that truly fits you.

Grounded Aesthetic

Our work is timeless, warm, and quietly modern, eschewing trends in favor of lasting character and flow.

"I’ve been surrounded by real estate and design my entire life. What excites me most isn’t just creating amazing spaces, it’s watching people settle into them, proud and at peace, knowing it feels like home."
