01 / Challenge

Aperture had a strong body of work and no voice. Their old site buried projects under menus and stock textures. They wanted something that felt like walking into one of their buildings: calm, bright and a little surprising around each corner.

02 / Approach

We built the identity from a single gesture: a soft curve borrowed from their facades. It became the logo, the grid, the image crops and even the loading animation. The site lets the photography lead and keeps type small and patient.

03 / Results

more project inquiries in the first three months

“Lena understood our work better than we could explain it. The site feels like our buildings.”
