Architect Portfolio
Editorial architect portfolio with brutalist clarity
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.

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.
