Architectural materials that elevate form, function
and footprint.

FORMWORK creates durable, net-zero building materials made from upcycled waste. Our products support healthier spaces, reduce embodied emissions, and integrate seamlessly into existing construction workflows — without disrupting cost or compliance.

The Crisis We Built

Today’s standard concrete and masonry materials are rigid, pollutive, and slow to evolve. Architects are stuck with legacy choices that limit sustainability; developers face ESG pressures with few real alternatives; and manufacturers are locked into carbon-intensive systems they can’t easily change.

These materials emit carbon across their entire lifecycle — from raw extraction to demolition — and send thousands of tonnes of waste to landfill each year. Behind every conventional slab lies a system that emits carbon at scale, resists flexibility, and stifles the potential of the built environment - long before construction begins.

Cities as carbon sinks

FORMWORK materials are designed for the realities of modern construction - code-compliant, drop-in ready and built to lower emissions.

From façade panels to paving tiles, they replace high-carbon ingredients with upcycled waste and low-toxicity binders — reducing embodied carbon and landfill impact.
At the core is AtmosCarbon™️: a mineral-based platform that stores CO₂, improves material health, and scales across multiple product formats without disrupting standard processes.

Our Technology

The only net-zero material designed to meet the realities of modern construction.

Our materials, powered by AtmosCarbon™ are engineered to work within existing production and spec workflows — no retooling, no special handling. By using circular inputs and capturing carbon during and after manufacturing, we help reduce Scope 3 emissions without compromising performance or design intent.

Carbon Curing

Infuses captured CO₂ into precast materials during production.

Bio Carbonisation

Replaces cement with upcycled organic waste like biochar and coffee grounds.

Direct Air Mineralisation

Captures atmospheric CO₂ after installation and locks it into mineral form.

Meet The Founder

Antonio Ng
Founder & CEO

Antonio spent 25 years designing tomorrow's skylines with AECOM, ARUP, Renzo Piano, and Robert A.M. Stern Architects—delivering landmarks from Beijing's Nokia Campus and New York's Whitney Museum to San Francisco’s California Academy of Sciences. As an architect obsessed with green buildings, he believed he was fighting climate change.

Then came the revelation: despite all the LEED Platinums and sustainable accolades, construction still generated 40% of global emissions—and that number wasn't budging. The best green buildings were still part of the problem.

In 2020, Antonio stopped designing buildings to reimagine building materials themselves. FORMWORK was born from a simple question: What if materials could heal the atmosphere instead of harming it?

Today, FORMWORK transforms atmospheric CO₂ into building materials while using coffee grounds and walnut shells for color—creating surfaces that actively purify rather than pollute. It's not only about building less; it's about building materials that give back more than they take.

A Carbon Negative Paving Block to Tackle Scope 3 Emissions

Featured Project

Nan Fung Group – Hong Kong

A 15m² facade built with AtmosBrick™ at Nan Fung’s AIRSIDE in Kai Tak, Hong Kong. The bricks were produced using FORMWORK’s bio-carbonisation process and finished in natural tones made from repurposed materials including coffee grounds.

The wall achieved a 70% reduction in embodied carbon and removed the need for synthetic pigments entirely.
