A small studio for architecture and interior design firms
Websites for architecture and interior design firms.
We design and build considered websites that present your work properly, attract the right enquiries, and quietly handle the follow-up.
Selected Work
A small, deliberate body of work.
We are an early-stage studio focused on architecture and interior design firms. One live client project and two concept demos are shown below.
-
A clean, mobile-first studio site replacing a PDF portfolio — built to bring qualified enquiries through search and WhatsApp.
View project -
Editorial homepage exploring how a mid-size practice could lead with a single hero project, then a quiet index of past work.
View project -
Concept site for an interiors studio — full-bleed room photography, captioned like an exhibition, with a single contact line.

Both concept demos are live — click to explore. Discuss your studio's direction on the intro call.
Who we work with
Built for studios that care how their work is shown.
Architecture firms
Project-led sites for practices that want their portfolio to read like a monograph, not a stock template.
Interior design studios
Room-first photography, restrained typography, and a clear path from browse to enquiry.
Services
Two lanes. Websites first.
Website design & development
Considered websites for architecture and interior design studios — strategy, structure, design, build.
-
Positioning & messaging
What the site needs to say, to whom, in what order.
-
Information architecture
Section flow, navigation, the index of work.
-
UI / UX design
Editorial layouts that put the photography first.
-
Frontend development
Fast, accessible Astro or Next.js builds.
-
CMS / content-ready
Easy to update projects without us in the loop.
-
Portfolio & project pages
Single-project stories with proper meta and craft.
-
Lead capture
Quiet, well-placed enquiry paths — not pop-ups.
Workflow & automation add-ons
Optional systems that sit behind the website — for studios that want enquiries to be handled, not just collected.
More on automation-
Enquiry capture
Form, WhatsApp, and email — all into one place.
-
Lead routing
The right person sees the right enquiry, fast.
-
Follow-up reminders
Nothing falls through the cracks.

CRM setup / integration
Zoho, HubSpot, Notion, or a simple sheet.

Document / proposal workflows
Drafted automatically from a brief.

Admin & task automation
Smaller bits of operational glue.
Beyond the website
Need more than a website?
We also build workflow and AI automations for lead handling, admin, and growth systems — useful once your site is bringing in enquiries.
Process
A short, deliberate path from conversation to launch.
- 01
Discovery
We learn how the studio works, who it serves, and what the site needs to do.
- 02
Positioning
A clear message and structure — agreed before any pixels.
- 03
Design
Editorial, restrained, photography-led. Reviewed in real layouts, not mockups in isolation.
- 04
Build
Fast, accessible code. Reviewed with you on real devices.
- 05
Launch
Quiet handover. Documentation. We stay reachable.
- 06
Workflow automation (optional)
Add the lead, follow-up, and admin systems later if useful.
About
Engineer-led. Practical by design.
Lighine is a small studio. The same people who write the code design the site — there are no layers of account managers in between.
We come from a software engineering background — over six years of building production systems, including a vendor platform that scaled to more than 1,200 users, and AI workshops delivered to senior leadership teams.
We bring that engineering discipline to a quieter, more focused service: considered websites for architecture and interior design firms, with optional workflow systems behind them.
We are an early-stage studio, currently focused on this niche. That means thoughtful work, close attention, and no inflated agency overhead.
Get in touch
Discuss your studio website.
A 20-minute conversation. We look at where you are now, where your enquiries come from, and what a better website could do for your studio. No pitch.
