When I model a building, I don't think of it as just a design exercise. I think of it as building a digital twin that will keep giving — through coordination, documentation, and performance analysis.
Our latest work at Ribhus is a 3-storey residential building — three floors of living spaces carefully laid out for everyday comfort. Bedrooms, open living areas, kitchens, bathrooms, kids' rooms, shared corridors — 51 rooms in total, spread across ground level all the way up to the top floor.
What makes this project go further than design is the data behind it. The walls, slabs, windows, and staircases — every element in the model carries information beyond its geometry. When it came time to run energy calculations, we didn't need to rebuild anything. The IFC model already had the envelope areas, window sizes, floor heights, and spatial layout ready to go.
One model. One source of truth. It pays off at every stage of the project.
This is the standard we hold ourselves to at Ribhus — where every model is a working asset, not just a drawing.

🚀 Oda — an architecture studio template for Framer, with agent skills
Oda is a website template for architecture and interiors studios, laid out like a drawing set: graphite lines on warm paper, title blocks, sheet numbers and line drawings that draw themselves.
The Framer edition comes with five skills for Framer's agent, so you can make the site yours in plain language:
👉 /oda-rebrand — "Rebrand this for our studio in Porto." Studio name, city, the sun study's location and time zone, colours (contrast-checked), fonts and copy, in the right order.
👉 /oda-content — "Add three projects." CMS items with every field filled, ASCII slugs, sheets kept in order.
👉 /oda-code-components — "Make the cabin draw twice as fast." Properties first, code only when a property can't do it.
👉 /oda-design-system — new pages and sections use the Oda styles, grid and section numbering.
👉 /oda-before-publish — the checklist the template was built to pass, on every page at Desktop, Tablet and Phone.
What's in the template:
· A timber cabin that draws itself, with a sun study you can drag. The shadow uses real solar maths for your city.
· Project sheets on a sideways track, and a floor plan that builds as you scroll.
· Materials with drawn textures, a team section, awards and a contact form with a sketch pad.
· Responsive down to 390 px, WCAG AA contrast, reduced-motion support.
Framer edition $59. Also available in plain HTML and React.

Nice temple and nice animations congratulations Lauri good job🎉🎉🎉
Introducing the identity for acasa, an interior design studio built around the idea that every space holds a story.
The mark is made of interlocking arches and curves, like rooms opening into one another, and the wordmark keeps things soft and open to match.
Warm brown on a calm dusty blue, because a home should feel both grounded and at ease. acasa: stories through spaces.
Nice branding kit❤️❤️
CREARA is a Spain-based architectural firm with a unique selling point: creating spaces that align with the lifestyles desired by young families.
With a premium, minimalist aesthetic, the firm stands out by avoiding cookie-cutter designs, instead creating bespoke solutions tailored to each client's specific needs.
Focusing primarily on young families, the visual identity is soft, modern, and sustainable.
The young-families angle is the tricky constraint here, since premium minimal usually gets read as slightly untouchable and families are the audience least inclined to want that. The softened wordmark and the warmer half of the palette look like where that gets absorbed. Was the...
