Challenge

IAW (Internationale Architektur Werkstatt) is an architecture bureau based in Düsseldorf. Its projects span Germany, France, Austria, Montenegro and Russia: from villas and interiors to office buildings and Six Senses chalets in Kitzbühel. It needed a portfolio website that shows the bureau's scale to international clients.

My role

I was responsible for the structure, UI design and the Tilda build.

Process

I split the bureau's work into five disciplines: architecture, urban design, landscape, interiors, competitions. Each project got its own page with its city and country.

Challenge and solution

Problem

The bureau's projects vary hugely in scale, from an apartment to a bank, and they get lost in a single feed.

Solution

Two navigation axes, by discipline and by project, so both a private client and a developer quickly find relevant work.
