A calm, image-led site for an architecture bureau designing houses meant to last a hundred years. Four commissions on three continents, told in as much image as text.
Challenge
Twenty-two private houses and headquarters on three continents, designed by a studio that swears by subtraction: taking away windows, walls and gestures until only the necessary structure remains. That restraint had to come from the site itself, not only from the text about it.
Approach
Large photography, minimal typography, and four flagship commissions told in as much image as text: Residence Ao in Hakone, The Kestrel House on Ibiza, Vantor Headquarters in Zurich and Villa Noon in Marrakech. Coordinates act as a quiet signature instead of decoration.
Result
A site that applies subtraction to itself: the bureau's design principle, translated to the screen.
