SPACE

Built for an architecture or design studio that wins work on how it thinks, not only on finished photos. The site has to show the process behind a project and bring in inquiries with the details the studio needs.

A small Los Angeles studio that designs houses on hard sites. People hire it for the thinking behind a building, so the site has to show how a house gets decided, not only how it looks.

• Tells the story of one canyon house in six scenes, from the finished form to the plan and the living room
• Walks through arrival, gathering, ascent and retreat with a small plan that follows the route
• Steps through concrete, oak, stone, metal and glass, with a light that follows the pointer
• Previews three concept studies with their type, region and year
• Takes a project inquiry (type, location, timeline) with checks and a confirmation

• One-page site, opening — the studio name over a hero photo, with a start-a-project button
• Position — a short statement of what the studio believes
• Story — one house in six scenes, from the finished form to the plan and the living room
• Experience — four moments of moving through the house, with a small plan that follows along
• Material — five materials to step through, each with a sample photo
• Studies — three concept projects with their type, region and year
• Approach — four steps, from listen and define to develop and realize
• Begin — a project inquiry with type, location and timeline, checks and a confirmation

• The house photo turns into a blue elevation drawing, then a white plan that tips back in 3D
• A dotted route and the sun's arc sweep across the plan before it opens into the living room
• The closing photo turns from day to dusk as you scroll

• Architecture and residential design studios
• Interior design and renovation firms
• Landscape architects and design-build contractors
• Custom home builders
