Architecture Firm in Taiwan

Web Design, Print
Website redesign and Webflow build for Archasia, a 40+ years old architecture firm based in Taiwan, with a body of work that includes some of the region's most ambitious civic and cultural landmarks.

Challenges
The old site was dated and couldn't handle video, which is a real limitation for a firm whose work is best seen at scale and in motion. An audit turned up a bigger issue underneath that. They have incredibly impressive projects, but the case studies on the site weren't telling the story behind any of them, the craft, the decisions, the why behind what they built. They also wanted room for an evolving stream of insights, news, and other dynamic content they could grow over time.
Selected Works
The old site had over 100 projects on display, most of them with underdeveloped case studies, weak photography, and a heavy bias toward older work. The most ambitious civic and cultural builds, the ones that should be doing the heaviest lifting, were getting lost in the noise. I recommended cutting that down to around 40 projects, curated and presented properly.

They still needed access to the full body of work though, since the site doubles as a way to show clients the breadth of their experience. To solve for that, I built a separate Project Archive page that holds every project they've ever done, laid out as a searchable, filterable dashboard, kept separate from the more narrative-driven main projects flow. On the curated projects page, the filtering system was built around how they actually talk about their work: by project type, by region, and a highlight filter for ongoing and key completed projects.
Project Storytelling
Each project page leads with the work itself, large-format video and photography up top, treated with the kind of weight the projects deserve. Below that sits the high-level information: project overview, key facts, image carousel, related projects. That's the surface layer, and for most visitors, that's enough. For anyone who wants to go deeper, a Read More opens a full case study, the long-form narrative behind the project, the technical whys and hows, the decisions that shaped the build. The page is designed to work at both depths, a quick scroll for someone scanning the portfolio, and a real read for someone who wants to actually understand how a project came together.
The Bilingual Build
Building a properly bilingual site in Webflow is its own undertaking. The site runs in both Traditional Chinese and English, toggleable from the main nav, with full parity across the marketing pages, the project case studies, insights, and the archive. That meant mirroring CMS structures so every project, post, and team bio has a counterpart in the other language, with the references wired up so the language toggle drops you onto the matching page instead of kicking you back to the homepage. Typography needed care too. Latin and Traditional Chinese type don't behave the same way on a page, so the system handles them with different scales, line-heights, and spacing rules to keep both languages feeling considered.
