Custom Homes

We design homes around each family’s unique lifestyle, creating comfortable, custom spaces that make the most of every property

Design your home with an expert.

At Formtect Architecture, we design custom homes that reflect how you live and where you build. Every plan is shaped by the site, your lifestyle, and the long-term value of thoughtful design.

Based in Calgary and working across Western Canada, we work throughout Western Canada to make the design process clear and straightforward, helping you move smoothly from concept to permit.

The Collaborative Process

We’re here to make the whole design and build process easy and stress free, guiding you every step of the way.

  • Every great project starts with a conversation. We take the time to understand your vision, lifestyle, budget, and the unique qualities of your site or home. This step lays the foundation for a design that truly reflects your needs.

  • We explore different layout options to see what fits your needs best, looking at flow, function, and how the space feels. To help you picture it clearly, we will use 3D modelling and walk you through the different elements of the design. We’ll confirm building codes and rough cost estimates, making sure the design stays realistic and aligned with your goals.

  • We bring your design to life by refining layouts, picking materials and colours, and shaping the features that make your space unique. You’ll see updates through drawings and 3D visuals, and we’ll adjust the design based on your feedback.

  • After reviewing the building costs, we’ll work with you to adjust the design or materials as needed to meet your budget and timeline. Any updates will be incorporated into the final design for your approval. We’ll then prepare the contract documents and manage the permit applications.

  • During construction, we stay involved to help ensure your project is built according to plan. We’re available to answer questions from you and your builder, review important milestones, and address any challenges that come up. Our goal is to make the process as smooth as possible and help bring your vision to life exactly as designed.
