Meet my latest website template, Vauban, tailored for architecture studios.
Built around an editorial grid and Swiss typography, it puts projects at the center while giving the studio itself a clear presence.
Available as a Framer template.
GATE108 is a forward-thinking ecosystem bringing together people, ideas, experiences and new ways of living, working and connecting.
We’ve been their long-term design partner, shaping and continuously evolving a flexible visual ecosystem across visual strategy, brand identity, creative direction, digital experiences, event assets, 3D motion and social media.
Inspired by the idea of GATE108 as a gateway into a multidimensional world of people, ideas and possibilities, we’ve built a brand system designed to move, adapt and grow across physical and digital spaces.
As the brand evolves, we continue to create new expressions while keeping the wider ecosystem cohesive, recognisable and ready for what’s next.
Most of my work tends to be warmer, more elegant and feminine. So when this client asked for something very rigid, minimal and clean, I knew I was going to have to approach the project differently.
They are architects, and they wanted their structural, precise and highly organised way of thinking to come through in the website.
I have to admit, I was a little scared at the beginning.
It’s always interesting when a project doesn’t immediately feel like “you”. There’s a temptation to bring your own aesthetic into everything you create — but sometimes the real challenge is knowing when not to.
Looking at the final website now, I actually love how consistent it feels with their identity.
And perhaps that’s the real goal of design: not to make everything look like your work, but to create something that feels unmistakably like your client.
Have you ever worked on a project that was completely outside your usual aesthetic? Did you embrace it, or did you find yourself trying to bring it back into your own visual language?
