Northbeam Studio

Identity and website for an architecture practice: quiet typography, precise grids, work-first presentation.

01The brief

An established architecture practice with a strong portfolio and an outdated public face. They needed an identity system and a website that would present the work with restraint, with no decoration competing with the buildings.

02Approach

  1. 01

    Positioning workshops distilled the practice’s voice: precision, material honesty, longevity.

  2. 02

    Built a typographic identity around a strict grid with a single accent, mirroring how the studio draws.

  3. 03

    Designed the site gallery-first: projects load instantly, imagery is treated as the interface.

  4. 04

    Delivered guidelines and templates so future materials stay coherent without a designer on call.

03Outcome

The practice launched the new site alongside a competition entry and reported inbound enquiries from clients who cited the website specifically. The identity now runs across proposals, signage and screen.
