Where architecture meets artistry in a sleek, immersive online experience.
Project Overview
Nous Créons Architecture is a premium architecture and interior design studio known for blending creativity, functionality, and client-focused design. They wanted an elegant, portfolio-driven website to present their vision, process, and expertise — one that communicates trust, sophistication, and innovation to prospective clients.
Color Palette
-
Deep Charcoal Black (#0D0D0D): Dominates the background for a luxurious, modern feel.
-
Pristine White (#FFFFFF): Ensures content clarity and high contrast against the dark theme.
-
Warm Accent Yellow (#FFD54F): Draws attention to CTAs and contact highlights without overwhelming.
-
Neutral Greys (#B0B0B0): Used subtly in icons and text for balance.
The monochrome base with minimal accent color mirrors the brand’s design philosophy — simplicity with impact.
Typography
-
Headings: Montserrat Bold — modern, geometric sans-serif that conveys professionalism and strength.
-
Body Text: Open Sans Regular — highly readable for detailed descriptions and process explanations.
-
Accent Elements: All-caps styling for section titles to enhance structure and authority.
Design Approach
-
Immersive Hero Section: Large architectural imagery overlaid with a bold “CREATIVE” headline to immediately position the brand as a leader in design innovation.
-
Three-Pillar Intro: “The Purpose, The Passion, Our Practices” — presented in structured boxes to articulate the studio’s values.
-
Service Blocks: Clear, icon-driven presentation of offerings like architecture, interiors, building permit, 3D modeling, and supervision.
-
Portfolio Grid: High-resolution, masonry-style gallery that showcases both exterior and interior projects without visual clutter.
