Arquitetura Demonstration project
Studio Meridiano — architecture practice
A near-monochrome, typography-first site for an architecture studio: strict Swiss grid, museum-label captions in mono, and every project drawn as an original SVG floor plan — no stock photography anywhere.
A seven-person architecture practice in Porto needs a portfolio site as disciplined as its buildings. No photography until projects are professionally shot — the work must be shown through plan drawings, precise labels and text. It has to feel like a printed monograph and load instantly on a phone.
What's inside
