A well-designed website is one of the cornerstones of any architecture studio. It’s a powerful opportunity to showcase your work. Naturally, an architect’s website should reflect the quality of their projects.
Just as important as creating outstanding architectural projects is presenting them in the best possible way. That’s why web design for architects is closely tied to portfolio-style websites. It should be cutting-edge in both design and development, with careful attention to every detail displayed.
At Code Barcelona, we create custom websites for architecture studios and creative companies seeking a strong digital identity.

The best architect websites. Inspiration post.
Humbert & Poyet
Design by Oui Will.
Topping our list of the best architect website designs is the site Oui Will created for Humbert & Poyet.
What stands out is its pure minimalism—stripped of all superfluous elements, staying true to the studio’s philosophy and putting the most relevant content front and center for users.
The simple top menu allows easy navigation between sections. The real highlight is the elegant, minimalist portfolio layout.
Ark-Shelter
Design by Ollie.
Continuing the minimalist trend, Ollie’s project for Ark-Shelter takes things a step further, blending a sleek aesthetic with the latest web design trends. Content is organized into sections accessible from the main menu, structured in clear, digestible layers.
Large headlines and concise intros make for easy reading, complemented by striking images and videos that highlight the company’s core strengths.
Archi Site Mobius
Design by Baqemono.
Next on our list is Baqemono’s website for Asmobius, which takes a more tech-forward approach than the previous examples. The design centers on immediately showcasing the studio’s projects—their calling card and greatest asset.
The menu is elegantly and minimally presented on the homepage, featuring a custom cursor that interacts with users as they navigate. The transitions are a programming marvel, and the loading effects are equally impressive.
Zikzak
Design by Ribs.
With a full-screen layout and a menu ideal for projects with more than three sections, Ribs’ website for Ukraine’s Zik Zak studio is a standout example among the best architect websites featured here.
The design captivates with immersive full-screen presentations of both the website and projects, paired with refined product details.

The Urban Village Project
Design by Space10.
Now, let’s look at a much larger-scale project, which required a different approach to both site architecture and design.
Here, a vertical scroll layout was chosen, allowing users to jump between sections via the menu and access information more intuitively. Staying true to the project’s urban spirit, both images and text have a distinctly metropolitan feel, and projects are presented as cards containing all relevant details.
It’s fascinating to see how the site’s content is organized and how the user journey unfolds.
Archi Graphi
Design by Les Animals.
Dark color schemes and strong contrasts are another highly effective approach for architect websites, and this site is a prime example.
It features a striking, magazine-style menu for navigating between sections. Each section boasts bold, oversized headlines and carefully curated images that showcase the company’s value.
Each project is also presented with its own set of subpages, making it easy for users to explore the content.
Tennent Brown Architects
Design by By Sons & Co.
By Sons & Co’s design for Tennent Brown is another web gem that deserves a spot among the best architect websites featured here.
With a creative twist, the site opens with a black background, bold typography, and an extensive top menu—essential for this project. As you scroll, the background shifts to brown (true to the name), introducing the studio’s value, architectural projects, and team.
Leviev Group
Design by Red Collar.
The final reference is the most tech-inspired, featuring a space adventure-style menu and a unique layout that’s hard to describe but a must-see to fully appreciate.
Once again, we see a minimalist, elegant design with outstanding web development—a true calling card for the Diana Danieli architecture studio. Don’t miss the chance to explore their website via the link below.
