Case study Architecture studio website
KEY Design & Construction Studio
A quiet, image-led website for an architecture studio.
Overview
KEY is the Istanbul studio of an architect who designs private houses and follows them from the first site visit to construction. The website presents built and designed work, explains how a project runs and publishes practical articles for people planning a house.
The design keeps the interface out of the way: a dark, restrained layout with large photography, generous type and a single call to action to start a conversation. Every page is available in English and Turkish.
For prospective clients
See finished and designed houses, understand the four stages of working with the studio and get in touch by email, phone or WhatsApp.
For readers
Read journal articles on how a villa project comes together, buying land to build on and choosing an architect.
For the studio
Publish new projects and articles in both languages and receive enquiries that already mention the land, plans and timing.
