We were honored to be sponsors at this year’s BUILT National Summit in Charlotte! From our specialty cocktail, the FORUM-TINI, to dinners with clients, the highlighted project tours, amazing women’s dinner, and our very own Michelle (Rademacher) Adeeb co-moderating a main panel session, we’d have to say this year was a success! We’re already gearing up and signing up for next year’s Summit which will be in our own “backyard” in Winter Park, FL! Thank you to LIV Development for joining us as our guests and to Matt Marvel and the amazing BUILT crew for all you do! #BUILT #BUILTOrlando #FORUM #architecture #interiordesign #development #multifamily

In light of the upcoming hurricane, our office will be closed to ensure the safety of our team and their families. We'll be monitoring the situation and will keep you updated. Stay safe, everyone!

It was a rockin’ night last Saturday honoring Central Florida’s homebuilding rock stars at the annual Major Achievement Awards. This year Forum brought home a Major Achievement Award for Ilumina Zephyrhills for Best Multifamily Amenity Space/Clubhouse. The Major Achievement Awards are put on by the Greater Orlando Homebuilders Association (GOBA) to recognize the best in sales, marketing, and design. #interiordesign #multifamily #apartments #amenityspaces #winners #rockstars

Valor Preserve, a public-private partnership, is situated on the banks of Lake Seminole in Seminole, FL, the area's new purpose-driven community serving the housing needs of local disabled veterans and the homeless.

We are excited to shine the Studio Director spotlight on Lance Burguiere. Lance has been a valued employee at Forum for the past 12 years. He attended the University of Central Florida for his Bachelor of Architecture and then attended the University of Florida CityLab Orlando to obtain his Master’s degree in Architecture. Lance has led production on multiple types of projects including multifamily, market rate, affordable, and senior living projects. As a Studio Director, Lance is responsible for nurturing client relationships and leading his multifamily design staff. When asked what skill has served him best in his architecture career, Lance says “The soft skills are more important than the technical ones because this is a collaborative profession. Of all of them, I would suggest is the ability to maintain confidence with an appropriate amount of humility.” Lance says one of his favorite projects he has designed recently is Aston at Town Center in Jacksonville, FL. In fact, this project recently won an Aurora Award! Lance’s professional goal is to build something that leaves a legacy beyond his time here on earth. Forum is fortunate to have Lance in leadership and as an Employee-Owner. We are confident his designs and mentorship will make an impact on the future generation of the architecture profession. Lance is a registered architect in the state of Florida. #architecture #multifamily #apartments #employeeowner #leader #forumfamily

While Zephyrhills is known for its peaceful farmland and citrus groves, it's also a favorite destination for skydiving enthusiasts, natural springs, a revitalized downtown, and a nearby family-friendly waterpark. The Ilumina Zephyrhills market-rate multifamily community honors the area’s eclectic charm with a modern designed clubhouse and classic farmhouse color palette. The 251 units are wood framed while the clubhouse and pavilion is built with masonry walls. The clubhouse features stone veneer and stucco. The apartments feature stone veneer, Hardie siding, and Hardie panel, and the pavilion features stone veneer, stucco, and a tongue and groove ceiling. Fun Fact: Ilumina Zephyrhills won two Grand Aurora Awards for Best Interior Merchandising of an Amenity Space and Best Interior Merchandising of a Model! Ilumina Zephyrhills is a beautiful addition to the Zephyrhills community! #architecture #interiordesign #multifamily #apartments #marketrate #winner
