The project

A redesign for a Laguna Niguel studio with twenty years of residential architecture and landscape work that its current site shows as small, undifferentiated thumbnails.

What the design had to do

  1. 01

    Let the work lead

    Full-width project photography and a filterable project grid in place of small thumbnails.

  2. 02

    Show the thinking

    Plan sheets and 3D renderings beside finished projects, so clients see how a design gets built.

  3. 03

    Make the process knowable

    A four-step path from first conversation to construction guidance.

  4. 04

    A calmer inquiry

    A project form that asks what a designer needs to know before the first meeting.

Strategic direction

For a design studio the website is itself a portfolio piece. The interface stays quiet and architectural so the studio's projects, drawings, and renderings are the loudest thing on the page.

Details worth a closer look
