A landing page concept for Norrell Studio, a fictional architecture and interior design practice working between London and New York.
The goal was to let the architecture speak first. The layout uses a strict editorial grid, generous white space, and full-bleed photography, with a single red accent guiding the eye to key actions. Bold type and numbered sections give the page a calm, structured rhythm, much like a well-planned building.
Perfect design execution.
This is what a true minimalism looks like. wonderful execution

How did you choose the hero image?
For Sienna Rhodes, I designed the homepage around one idea: the portfolio should come first.
Photography clients usually want to know one thing before they read about your process, your packages, or even who you are: Do I connect with your work?
So instead of opening with a traditional introduction, the homepage leads directly into the portfolio and lets the imagery make the first impression. The supporting copy and details come later, once the work has already created that initial connection.
I’m curious where other designers and photographers land on this. Do you prefer a portfolio-first homepage, or do you think the photographer’s story should come first?
Portfolio first, every time for photography. Nobody hires off a process paragraph, they hire because one image stopped them scrolling. The story matters, but it lands harder after the work has already made the case. That start here slider does the pitch by itself.
You only get to keep one. Which stays?
The circular layout has a bit of playfulness to it. The landscape gives you a much bigger sense of place.
I can see a case for both. Curious where you land.

I'd keep the landscape one honestly, that sense of scale feels right for anything talking about sustainability at an industry level. Did the client push back on the crop at all, or were they on board with circular from the start?
