A Webspace That Reflects Our Values and Designs Philosophy
What started as a website update soon transformed into a journey of re-discovery of who we are, what we value, our service to others, and how we can better communicate them to our audience.
We believe design is about connecting nature, culture, and joy. How do we make our vision come alive on the screen of a laptop, Ipad, and a mobile phone? How do we communicate the experience of simplicity, materiality, and poetry of space? How can our visitors experience our commitment to serving others?
This post will explore the big picture concept, as well as how we implemented our vision into a cohesive narrative that shares the stories of our clients, and our design process.
We hope you enjoy the journey as much as we did in creating this community space for all.

The Details
To bring our beliefs and approach to life, we made these deliberate design and technical decisions:
Oversized Web Sections
Pages are intentionally oversized, encouraging scrolling and exploration to immerse visitors, akin to walking through a thoughtfully designed space.
Alternate Navigation Paths
Visitors can access the same information (Work, About Us, Community) through multiple routes, reflecting the fluidity and openness of our physical built spaces.
Atmospheric Videos and Backgrounds
Light, texture, and natural movement framed by our designs create a serene, immersive digital environment.
Video Essays
Act as digital walkthroughs, sharing insights into our design and construction processes to make the journey accessible to all.
Integrated Content
Narratives from About Us, Community, and Careers are layered into project galleries and the homepage, creating a cohesive and interconnected experience.
Strategic Use of Negative Space
Reflects the simplicity and clarity of our interior designs, offering moments of pause and focus for visitors.
Real-Time Updates with Flexible Platforms
Built on adaptable, cost-effective website-building tools, allowing us to make updates in real time and reflect the evolving nature of our work.
Stories
Reimagining Digital Spaces
Most websites are rigid and linear, but we saw an opportunity to create a digital experience as dynamic as our building and interior designs. Oversized webspaces encourage scrolling and exploration, replicating the sense of scale and movement found in thoughtfully designed physical spaces.
Inspired by Natural and Cultural Environments
Our designs are rooted in the inspiration we draw from the natural world and cultural landscapes. This is reflected in the webspace through:
Atmospheric videos
that capture texture, light, and motion, echoing the sensory qualities of our physical designs. Subtle animations that evoke the calm and balance present in our built spaces.
Celebrating Process and Collaboration
Design is not just about the finished product—it’s about the journey. Through video essays and a community-focused bulletin board, the site opens a window into our collaborative process.
Designed for All Audiences
Just as our buildings and interiors are crafted for diverse users, our webspace is designed to resonate with:
Casual visitors seeking inspiration and beauty.
Academics and professionals looking for detailed insights.
Design enthusiasts eager to explore our technical and conceptual layers.
Evolving with Our Community
This webspace is more than just a website—it is an extension of our philosophy and a reflection of our values. Through its design and functionality, we have sought to embody the same care, creativity, and intentionality that define our building and interior designs. Every element of this site, from the immersive oversized sections to the serene spaces, has been crafted to invite curiosity, inspire exploration, and foster a deeper connection to our work and mission.
By blending technical precision with a commitment to collaboration and sharing, this webspace serves as both a resource and an experience. We hope it offers moments of reflection, discovery, and inspiration—mirroring the joy and meaning we strive to bring into the physical spaces we design.
