About This Template

Architect Portfolio

A brutalist, editorial portfolio built to make architecture feel like cinema — minimal, high-contrast, and unforgettable.

About this template

This template is designed for architects and spatial designers who want their work to feel curated, intentional, and timeless — not like a generic portfolio grid. It uses bold typography, controlled whitespace, and museum-style composition to turn your projects into a narrative.

The top of the page sets the tone immediately with an oversized title treatment that reads like a publication cover. It signals confidence and authorship — perfect for studios that want to feel established, contemporary, and design-led. From there, the layout transitions into a statement section that frames your philosophy and approach, treating your “about” as an editorial feature rather than a basic bio.

The “Selected Works” section is structured like a gallery wall: large hero visuals paired with smaller supporting images and labels. It’s built for architectural storytelling — concept, detail, materiality, and atmosphere — giving each project space to breathe. Rather than stacking everything in the same repeated card layout, the template uses asymmetry and rhythm to create visual tension (in a good way) while keeping everything readable and premium.

Further down, a “Process & Form” section turns your methodology into a branded asset. Instead of burying your process in a paragraph, it’s presented as a structured set of principles — the kind of clarity that clients, recruiters, and collaborators love.

Finally, the site closes with a strong call-to-action (“Let’s Build.”) and clean contact/social links, making it easy for people to reach out without breaking the aesthetic.

Who This Is For

  • Architects and architecture students building a portfolio for internships, jobs, or studio applications

  • Independent studios who want a high-end digital presence that feels like a monograph

  • Interior designers and spatial designers who rely on atmosphere and composition

  • Industrial/product designers who want an editorial portfolio with strong typography

  • Creative directors / visual artists who want a gallery-style site rather than a standard grid

Best Use Cases

Studio Portfolio Website

Present your best projects with a gallery-first approach that feels considered and expensive. Ideal if your work benefits from large imagery and minimal UI noise.

Competition / Concept Work Showcase

The editorial rhythm works beautifully for conceptual work where narrative matters — sketches, diagrams, renders, and process all have space to exist together.

Job / Internship Portfolio

Recruiters can scan quickly, but the design still feels elevated. The structure helps you look like a designer with taste and intent, not just someone uploading images.

High-End Client Acquisition

If you work with premium residential or commercial clients, the visual system reinforces quality and taste before they even read a word.

Getting Started

Step 1: Remix This Template

Duplicate the template and you’ll instantly have the full structure ready: hero, works, process, and contact.

Step 2: Add Your Title + Statement

Replace the headline and intro text with your portfolio title, studio name, and a short philosophy.

Step 3: Populate Selected Works

Upload 3–8 projects with a hero image and 2–4 supporting images each (details, interiors, diagrams, plans).

Step 4: Define Your Process

Customize the process section to reflect your actual workflow. This is where you differentiate beyond visuals.

Step 5: Publish + Share

Deploy and link it everywhere — applications, Instagram bio, email signatures, proposals, and client outreach.

Conclusion

This architect portfolio template is built for designers who want their work to feel curated, serious, and art-directed. It gives your projects space, creates rhythm through editorial composition, and turns your philosophy and process into part of the brand.

If you want a portfolio that feels like a gallery opening — not a template — this is it.
