FoundationForForm Architecture

Architecture & Design

About

An AIA-affiliated studio collective, FoundationForForm Architecture works exclusively on urban infill, mixed-use, and multifamily housing projects across San Diego's densest corridors. The firm's Eitol building occupies this same University Avenue address — a five-story series of metal-clad red towers built as a deliberate Hillcrest landmark, a risk-forward residential approach distinct from the more restrained single-family portfolio of Safdie Rabines Architects. Proficiency spans Type I, Type III, and Type V construction, the code categories that govern which combinations of steel, concrete, and wood framing a high-density parcel can legally support. The studio handles complex easements, unfavorable adjacencies, and layered zoning overlays from programming through construction administration, coordinating with multifamily general contractors including Southwest Builders. Active memberships in the Urban Land Institute, San Diego Architectural Foundation, and San Diego County Apartment Association feed the firm's education and fundraising programming around urban regeneration. Signature projects are ground-up mid-rise mixed-use buildings where market-rate units, income-restricted housing, ground-floor retail, and structured parking all have to resolve inside aggressive setback and height envelopes on challenging infill parcels.
