Tucked into the lush landscape of historic Fort Langley, Form Studio is a modest yet striking workspace designed by Form Studio Architects. The building’s quiet presence is elevated by a carefully crafted wood façade, finished with Sansin SDF— Labrador Brown. Sansin SDF is a durable, low-VOC (volatile organic compound) wood finish, chosen not only for its environmental benefits but also for its ability to protect the cedar cladding from moisture and weather. The exterior cladding features western red cedar, milled into two complementary profiles: wide 1×10 boards create a smooth surface, while slender 2×2 battens add texture and visual depth. SDF Onyx was used on the plywood elements, adding subtle contrast and depth while maintaining a cohesive, modern palette. The workspace blends into its lush surroundings through thoughtful detailing and high-performance finishes, providing both aesthetic appeal and longevity, making it ideal for the Pacific Northwest’s climate.
