Character: Cairn the Fox is built directly on real, respected exploration culture: the century-old tradition of carrying a numbered expedition flag, the summit-logbook ritual, the universal trail cairn, vintage passport/luggage stamp collecting, and...
For an architecture studio, I didn't want the hero to feel like a typical “headline + image + button” layout.
The architecture itself should do most of the talking.
I built the hero around three things: a cinematic architectural image to establish emotion, oversized editorial typography to create hierarchy, and restrained CTAs that keep the focus on the work.
The goal was to make the first screen feel like an extension of the studio's design philosophy, quiet, intentional, and considered.
This is only the first section. More of Aurelia coming next.
How do you give a theatre a new face without throwing away the one it already has?
For ASTORKA Korzo '90 in Bratislava, the answer was to keep the existing logo and build a whole new world around it: a fresh system of typography, colour and imagery that gives the theatre a clear, confident presence of its own.
The identity runs on three levels:
– A redesigned website, designed in Figma and developed with an AI-assisted workflow using Claude
– printed theater plan
– Motifs for digital billboards across the city
Working with an existing logo is a real design constraint. The trick was making the new system strong enough to carry the brand while letting the logo stay recognisable. Theatres live from continuity and from change at the same time, and the identity had to hold both.
