formidable is an interdisciplinary studio working from fascination, urgency, time and place – developing projects on commission and self-initiated, across architecture, public space, research, curatorial and programmatic practice. The studio does not begin from a fixed agenda or predefined format. Projects emerge through experimental, process-based approaches: being on site, exploration, observation, collaboration, and other forms of attentiveness. Outcomes are not predetermined and may appear as spatial propositions, temporary interventions, conversations, exhibitions, publications, or built structures – depending on how a situation unfolds. 

formidable was founded in 2025 by architect Alexandra Sonnemans, previously co-founder of rotative studio.
