Project overview
Design House is an architecture practice offering architectural services, interior design, landscape design, construction project management and 3D visualisation, working in Lahore and across Pakistan.
Architecture sells on portfolio. The website had to give the work room to be seen while still explaining the practice’s services clearly enough for someone who has never commissioned an architect before.
The objective
A practice with this range faces a structural problem: a single “projects” gallery flattens very different work into one undifferentiated grid. A prospective client planning a hospital has little interest in scrolling past residential interiors to find something relevant.
The objective was a site that lets each service stand on its own, and a portfolio a visitor can filter down to the type of building they are actually planning.
What we delivered
Each service — architectural services, interior design, re-imagining spaces, construction project management, 3D visualisation and landscape design — has a dedicated page, so the practice can explain scope and approach properly and each service can be found on its own terms.
The portfolio is organised by building type, with sections for residential, healthcare, academic, religious and mixed-use architecture as well as interior design projects. A visitor lands on the category that matches their brief rather than sorting through everything.
A team page supports the credibility side of the decision, and the whole site is built on WordPress so the practice can add projects as they complete without returning to a developer.
Key website features
Service pages
A separate page for each discipline the practice offers, with room to explain scope, process and deliverables.
Portfolio by building type
Residential, healthcare, academic, religious, mixed-use and interior projects grouped so visitors reach relevant work immediately.
Project galleries
Image-led project presentation with sliders, giving architectural photography the space it needs.
Team page
The people behind the practice, supporting a decision that is made substantially on trust.
Owner-managed publishing
A WordPress content structure that lets the practice add projects and pages without development support.
Search-engine groundwork
Structured metadata across services and project categories, aligned to how architectural services are actually searched for.
Design and user experience
The layout is built around large imagery with restrained typography, which is the correct hierarchy for a practice whose work is inherently visual. Whitespace is used generously so individual projects are not competing with each other.
Service pages follow one consistent template, which keeps the site coherent and makes adding a new discipline a content task rather than a design project.
Responsive and mobile considerations
Architectural imagery is usually wide, and wide images are exactly what breaks on phones. Fixed aspect ratios and appropriately sized image files keep galleries stable while scrolling, with no layout shift as images arrive.
The multi-level service and project navigation collapses into a single accessible menu, so both the services and the portfolio categories stay reachable in one or two taps.
