Crafted surfaces
for Melbourne

Medida Forma is an architectural surface studio in Melbourne. We work with architects, designers, builders and homeowners to install microcement, Venetian plaster, new-generation cork tiles and certified waterproofing across residential and commercial interiors.

Every project starts with the material: its weight, its grain, the way light crosses it. It is resolved from the substrate up, then laid by hand. Edge, transition and substrate are settled before the first coat. The trowel leaves a record; we don't sand it out. Proven systems and compliant detailing, made for how Melbourne actually lives.

From substrate
to surface

Every microcement, plaster or cork installation runs the same four stages, because the finish you see is only as good as the substrate you don't.

  1. 01

    Consult & Specify

    We review the space, the substrate and the intent, then specify the system: material, finish, detailing. Decided before a tool comes out.

  2. 02

    Prepare the Substrate

    The boring part everything depends on. Assess, repair, prime, and waterproof where the room demands it.

  3. 03

    Apply by Hand

    Coat on coat, worked to the light and movement of the room. No two walls leave identical. That's the point.

  4. 04

    Seal & Finish

    Sealed for real life, then checked across every edge, transition and join. Handed over to be used, not admired from a distance.
