Our Difference
BEYOND GREEN BUILDING TO BLUE BUILDING
At Form Add Function, we are passionate about creating beautiful, high performance structures that go beyond the standard Green concepts to be what is known today as “Blue Building”. We do this to make a positive impact on the built environment, the natural environment and the people who occupy them.
“Blue Building” is a philosophy that seeks to protect the environment and climate, saving energy and recycling of resources. The philosophy is applied from the foundations, external and internal walls, roofs, windows and doors, all of which are manufactured, erected and mounted in accordance to the newest requirements for environmental, climate protection and energy preservation.
IS BLUE BUILDING EXPENSIVE?
Some of our clients are concerned about the costs of Green Building materials. While your building cost may come with a 5% premium, the saving on energy over the first six months will more than make up the difference. The energy saving over the long-term will make a marked positive impact on your living, working and operational costs.
FORM ADD FUNCTION GREEN BUILDINGS

- Buildings that save energy

- Improved insulation

“Carlos has vision!!! Form Add Function has done amazing work whilst using our very tight budget.
They saw what was needed, identified what costs could be cut, and at the same time, did not skint on true quality and beauty.
Our new offices have a feeling of the penthouse suite on 5th Avenue, New York.
Thank you Carlos and your team for your honesty, integrity, constant communication, and follow-ups and making the re-design of our new offices a seamless and pain-free process.
Your professionalism is truly commended.”
