The system
The idea
Studio Tiernan is a concept: a six-person practice in Cork's Victorian Quarter doing houses, extensions and small civic work. Architects' sites tend to bury forty projects in a grid that shows nine at a time. This one is an index: every project in order with its type, place, year and status, drawings beside the photographs, and a brief form that asks the questions the first meeting would.
The thinking
For a studio, the website is the portfolio and the portfolio is the argument. Every word on the page is a word not spent looking at the work.
What's in it
- 01Art direction: the hairline grid, the drawings, one brick red
- 02A project index with type, place, year and status
- 03Project pages built around plans, sections and elevations
- 04A brief form that replaces the first email exchange
- 05Process and fees, written plainly
- 06A Studio-sized project: scoped and priced per project
