Architects FORA is a design firm with a mission to create vibrant, resilient, and equitable housing at all scales. Founded in 1981, the company boasts an extensive housing portfolio, featuring over a million square feet and over 2,300 housing units in a wide variety of award-winning developments built over 40 years.

The company's focus on honoring and supporting diverse populations, including very- and extremely-low income residents, seniors, families, the formerly homeless, and developmentally disabled adults, sets Architects FORA apart. Their approach to materiality, sustainable design, dynamic programming, and community engagement fosters connection, wellness, and empowerment for its residents and the larger neighborhood as a whole.
