01 · Challenge
Let the drawings breathe
Architects are judged on precision. The portfolio had to feel like an archive of serious work, not a template gallery, and it had to show technical drawings without shrinking them into thumbnails.
Portfolio · 2025
Fully shippedArchive of Form
An architecture portfolio designed like a physical archive: monotone, precise and quiet, with technical drawings that float and drift as you move through the work.

02 · Approach
An archive you move through
We set everything in a strict monotone system, catalogued projects like archive entries, and let the drawings float in layered parallax. They react to the cursor, so the site feels like leafing through tracing paper.
- Archive-style index with catalog numbers
- Layered parallax and cursor-reactive drawings
- Strict monotone type and grid system
03 · Result
A portfolio that reads like a body of work
The practice now has a portfolio that shows how they think, not just what they built. TODO: add a real outcome or client quote.
