Atelier Arpar brings together Alpine building traditions and contemporary architecture. Based in Megève, the studio develops projects shaped by their surroundings: clear forms, natural materials and a considered relationship between light, space and landscape. The presentation of its work needed a framework that reflected this approach. Our brief covered targeted improvements to the existing Webflow website and the design of a modular portfolio template in Figma. The focus was on a consistent presentation that gives the architecture room and makes it easier for the team to work with new content.
Building on existing strengths, refining the presentation
The website already had a visual foundation and expressive project photography. At the same time, our review identified opportunities to improve navigation, animations, image display and mobile usability. The technical and visual refinements were intended to enhance the existing website while preserving its structure.
The focus was on clearer usability and a calmer interplay between elements. The menu, video and transitions were intended to guide visitors through the website and support the architecture. Code cleanup and image optimisation were further priorities. The aim was to make the quality of the projects tangible in the digital experience as well.
A portfolio system that grows with the projects
Alongside the website, the portfolio was the second focus of the project. We developed a structured Figma template with reusable components and a design aligned with the existing brand identity.
The system provides a shared framework for images, text and project information. New work can be presented consistently, while accommodating different image formats and content. The architecture remains at the forefront; the layout brings order and visual continuity.
The planned handover included an introduction to using Figma. Subsequent updates to the file incorporated additional client requests. The portfolio was intended to become a working tool that the team could continue to develop independently for future presentations.
The website and portfolio share the same ambition: to present Atelier Arpar’s architecture with clarity and quality, and to provide a consistent foundation for the studio’s future communications.
