Architecture studios
Portfolio sites for small architecture and design studios — the work at full width, the rest out of the way.
An architecture studio's site has one job: show the projects at the size they deserve. Quiet type, big images, and a way to add the next project without a phone call.
The problems
- The portfolio site makes the work look smaller than it is.
- Adding a finished project means finding whoever built the site.
- A 6MB hero photograph takes eight seconds to load.
What a good one does
- A numbered index and full-bleed project pages that respect the photography
- A git-based content model the studio edits directly
- A build that ships almost no JavaScript, so big images still load fast
