Homes, café interiors and existing buildings.

Five Forms is a Newcastle-based architectural and spatial design studio. 

Five forms. One connected approach.

Inspired by Chinese Five Elements philosophy, our approach balances five architectural conditions to create spaces that resonate with their purpose and surroundings: Structure, Growth, Flow, Energy and Ground.

01

Structure

Organise walls, openings and joinery into a clear spatial framework.

02

Growth

Plan for changing uses and connections to outdoor space.

03

Flow

Coordinate movement, seating and service routes, as explored in Reverie Café.

04

Energy

Shape daylight, reflections and lighting around the activities in each space.

05

Ground

Choose materials that give each project its character: timber, terracotta and stone in Reverie.
