Changing Lives and Shifting Perspectives.
Forge Craft Affordable Housing
Creating places that empower and inspire – beautiful, welcoming, accessible, just, and human-scaled communities.
We partner with housing developers, nonprofits and communities to design affordable housing communities that change lives and shift perspectives.
Designing communities for people with many lived experiences.
Ensuring home is a place that delivers safety, dignity, comfort, connection and joy.
Sharing an iterative design process where, with each project, we learn what is working and where there are opportunities for improvement.
Applying limitless thinking to achieve exceptional design.
Helping our clients navigate every aspect of the complex affordable housing development process.
Our Partnerships
Project by project, we are changing outdated perceptions about what affordable housing can be.
Rather than focusing on the challenges, we see each project as an opportunity to stretch the bounds of ingenuity – to envision solutions that will make daily life better for people.
