Concept identity

A stone palette, architectural linework and broad horizontal compositions echo the proportions of a drawing set. The restrained typography gives project descriptions the same importance as the visual work.

01 / The starting point

A website with
a clear job to do.

The imagined brief

An imagined residential architecture practice needs a website that welcomes homeowners as well as design-aware clients. The brief centres on extensions, renovations and new homes. Visitors should understand the practice’s visual language, recognise a project similar to their own and know what information to bring to a first conversation.

The customer challenge

A portfolio can look beautiful while leaving a homeowner unsure about the service. This concept connects the imagery to the decisions behind each project, so browsing gradually answers questions about suitability, process and scope.

02 / The design direction

Character in
the details.

The editorial composition, colour palette and type direction give its visual identity. These choices support the way a customer explores the business.

DECISION 01

Explain the brief behind the image

Each proposed project story introduces the home, the original constraint and the design response. Plans and photographs would be captioned rather than left as an unexplained carousel.

DECISION 02

Separate the main project types

Extensions, whole-home renovations and new-build homes receive distinct introductions. A visitor can enter through the service that fits their situation without understanding architectural terminology.

DECISION 03

Make the first conversation concrete

The enquiry route asks for the property type, broad location and what the owner hopes to change. Drawings and budget discussions belong in the subsequent agreed process, not an intimidating first form.

03 / In your hand

Considered for
a smaller screen.

Project images become a single reading sequence with captions directly underneath. The project type and enquiry link stay easy to find without a horizontal gallery gesture.

Sample website copy

A home that works around you

More space is only part of the question. A useful starting point is how you move through your home, where the light falls and what daily life asks of each room. Tell us what is working and what you would like to change.

04 / The page plan

A place for every
useful detail.

This proposed five-page structure follows the customer’s questions. Each page has a distinct purpose, with clear routes between discovering the business, understanding the offer and making contact.

01

Home

Introduce the practice through its approach to everyday living.

02

Residential projects

Organise project stories by the type of home and work.

03

Extensions & renovations

Explain the design service and common starting points.

04

Our process

Show the proposed stages and the client’s role.

05

Start a project

Invite a short, useful description of the property and ambition.

05 / Content & discovery

Useful to people.
Clear to search.

Service pages would address the different kinds of residential project. Real project stories could support those pages with specific design context; invented locations or planning outcomes would add no useful evidence.

01

Should an architect’s website lead with projects or services?

This direction uses projects to communicate character, then places the relevant service beside each story. A homeowner should be able to move from a space they like to an explanation of how similar work begins.

02

What would a complete project story include?

The content model allows for a verified brief, existing conditions, drawings, photographs and commentary on the design decisions. Permissions and factual project details would be confirmed before any real work is published.
