Context

Where they started

Ruut designs residential blocks and public buildings across the Baltics. The portfolio lived in PDFs and the site had not been updated since 2019 — while the bureau kept winning competitions.

They needed an identity you could mount on a façade, and a site the architects update themselves.

Task

What had to happen

  1. An identity that works on a façade
  2. Projects full screen, and fast
  3. Updates by the bureau without a developer

Solution

What we did

The square as a system

A modular logo that generates the grid of the site, the decks and the building signage.

R

Projects without interface

Full‑screen renders, text appearing on scroll, keyboard navigation throughout.

R

A CMS for architects

A project goes up in ten minutes: upload the images, write three paragraphs.
