initial wireframe layout

Teehan+Lax have put together a stunning new website for us and we’re excited to share our work in a fantastic new way. Working with these talented designers was an interesting process: architects don’t often get to be design clients themselves. It was nice to sit at the other side of the table and watch a design take shape.

We’ve had a relationship with Teehan+Lax for a while, having designed a house for Jeremy Bell, partner at Teehan+Lax, that was completed in 2009. More recently, we’ve finished up a new house for Geoff Teehan and family. In 2010 the company moved into the office next door to us at 109 Atlantic. It seemed only natural that T+L work on our much-needed new site.

All too often, architects assume that because they can design and build buildings, they can design anything. In this case however, we sat back let the experts do what they do best. Geoff and Travis brought amazing expertise and design skills to the process and the new site is far better than we could imagine, let alone put together ourselves. They took a hard look at how our new site needed to function and pared the core structure down to exactly what it needs to be.

As Geoff Teehan puts it: this is the house they built for us.

On top of fantastic graphic design, it’s a much richer experience, all the while being easier to use. As a primary point of access for clients (both potential and existing) and the public, the website functions at a level beyond a mere portfolio… it’s an overall better user experience that conveys who we are and what we can do.
