Most small-practice architecture sites are either a Squarespace gallery or a portfolio dressed as a magazine. We wanted neither. The brief was: one long, walk-through page where each project is a chapter, and the photography sets the tempo.
Type is the second voice. A modern serif sits over a neutral sans — wide leading on body, tight tracking on captions, project numbers in mono. The atmosphere is achieved by what we leave out: no testimonials, no awards strip, no scrolling logo wall.
The result reads like a small monograph. A client who lands here knows in twelve seconds whether the practice is right for them — and the practice spends no time on people for whom it isn't.
Concept build — the studio is young; this case study shows the craft we'd bring to a real engagement.
An editorial, not a portfolio.
Quiet things, done carefully.
Each with an opener, plan, three interior frames, and a single paragraph of intent.
Home, work, and studio compressed into a single editorial spread. Contact lives in the footer.
Custom pairing chosen against the photography, not from a template menu.
Art-directed crops per breakpoint. Phones never load the desktop frame.
