Cardenal: each project told as an essay, not a post

Fictional business. This concept shows how the studio works; it isn't a client project and has no results to report.

Cardenal

The problem

An architecture studio's work lives on Instagram. It's fine for photos, but large projects need a different conversation before the first call.

The idea

A site that presents each project with its process and context, with the typography and pace of an architecture publication, leading serious clients into a better-informed first conversation.

What's built

  • Home page with a tour of the projects, an active-project selector and navigation that changes theme by section.
  • Manifesto, five-stage process and team sections.
  • Scroll animation with GSAP and Lenis, in Spanish and English.

What's a mock-up

  • The studio, team, projects and figures are fictional; photos are stock images.
  • The briefing that qualifies clients is part of the concept but not built: there's no form yet.

What it shows

  • A visual identity of its own for each client, rather than a template.
  • Long, structured, indexable content instead of a social media feed.

Technology

  • Next.js 15
  • React 19
  • TypeScript
  • Tailwind CSS 4
  • next-intl (ES/EN)
