The Challenge
Architects needed a digital presence that matched their physical philosophy: clean lines, structural integrity, and sustainability. Their previous WordPress site was sluggish, taking over 4 seconds to load their high-resolution project photography, which was driving away potential high-value clients. They needed a site that felt "invisible"—where the interface didn't get in the way of the art.
The Solution
We engineered a bespoke headless architecture using Next.js 15 and Sanity CMS. By decoupling the frontend, we implemented aggressive image optimization strategies (using WebP conversion and lazy-loading) that allowed us to serve 4K imagery with sub-second load times. We also built a custom "smooth scroll" experience using Lenis and Framer Motion to give the browsing experience a heavy, premium feel.
