Allegretti Architects, Santa Fe, New Mexico

http://www.gregallegretti.com/




Allegretti Architects specialises in "fine designs appropriate to the unique environment and traditions of Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico." The site's homepage features architectural news and events of local interest, while the core of the site is an extensive illustrated project portfolio. Useful and attractively presented resource content - such as a short article about the influence of climate on the local regional architectural styles, and a piece on passive solar design - appears throughout, alongside links to other sites of contextual interest. Many architecture practice websites prioritise slickness over content, and it's refreshing to find one that instead emphasises substance over style. Awarded a Sapling Commendation.

Amorphica

Amorphica describes itself as "a multi-discipline design collective that specialises in the manipulation and creation of physical space, virtual 3D models, graphic landscapes, spatial and temporal relationships of any topology and/or methodology". The site, which uses Flash, includes a well-illustrated project archive and details of current work, and is available in both English and Spanish versions. However, some of the text is difficult to read, and the overall effect a little pretentious. [GAS, 28 May 2006].

Recently redesigned using Flash, the site also provides an interesting news page, together with information on the company's services and organisational structure. [GAS, 13 Dec 2005].

Archaeo Architects

http://www.archaeoarchitects.com/




Archaeo Architects describe themselves as "an award-winning architectural firm in Santa Fe, New Mexico focusing on a limited number of projects to which we offer personal, superior service. Our project style is inspired by the universal order that can be found in ruins and ancient buildings coupled with the most up to date elements of present day building and design". The site, designed using Flash, includes a helpful practice profile, with details of its partners, awards and coverage in publications. The highlight of the site is its excellent portfolio section, providing a wealth of information on Archaeo's residential and commercial schemes; stunning images are accompanied by useful descriptions of each project. The site highlights the themes of 'light', 'site' and 'space' - looking at some of the projects, and their amazing rootedness in the New Mexico landscape, it is easy to see why. Regular Sapling users will know that we don't care much for white or grey text on a black background, something the Archaeo site is guilty of. This quibble aside, however, Archaeo Architects have managed to create site that is visually impressive, rich and informative. Awarded a Sapling Commendation. [GAS, 15 Sep 2006].

Archiphy Architects is a full-service architecture firm located in Dallas, Texas. The firm "provides quality services to a wide range of clients", presenting "innovative designs" and specialising in architecture, interiors, masterplanning, renovation, and sustainable design and consulting. The Flash-designed site has information about services provided in sectors such as hospitality, retail and education, as well as an interesting portfolio of recent work, illustrated with photographs, drawings and renderings. I can't help thinking, however, that the Flash unnecessarily complicates the navigation of what would otherwise be quite a simple site. [GAS, 5 Dec 2011].

A Japanese theme pervades both the appearance and content of the site, reinforced by the many beautiful and evocative images that showcase the firm's work.

Each case study is well-illustrated with high quality drawings and photographs, supplemented by appropriate annotation. Elsewhere on the site, three urban design papers, written by partner Alistair Barr, add further value. Overall, this is a rich and informative site, awarded a Sapling Commendation.

Recently redesigned, the site now boasts a more professional appearance, and includes plenty of background about the firm together with a worthwhile page of links. However, the lack of information about previous projects is disappointing, and the site's insistence on compressing itself into a tiny fraction of the screen creates an unnecessarily cramped effect.

Box Architecture

http://www.box.ie/



Founded in Dublin in 1997, Box Architecture claims to have "established its practice on the forefront of design... with a hands-on approach using detailed models, technical expertise and creative execution in the presentation and design medium, Box Architecture reflects an ethos of the highest principle within a wide scale of projects". The company describes its site as "inviting and sophisticated", and true enough, it presents a slick and professional image. In the eyes of this reviewer, however, it does suffer from the usual architectural clichés, including counter-intuitive navigation and an aversion to capital letters. Fortunately, once you unearth the main menu (hold your mouse to the left of the 'box') and look beyond these irritations, the site has much to enjoy. The 'about' section includes comprehensive information about the practice, its history, people, competition entries and (many) awards. An extensive, illustrated projects listing features some excellent quality images, though some additional annotation would be useful. A 'glimpse' section, divided into 'light', 'material' and 'dimension', links to relevant project information. [GAS, 17 Aug 2005].

News from the practice also features, togethers with a profile of its core values. Despite the American Samoa domain name, the business is in fact based in Copenhagen, Denmark - this is the only incongruity in a site that otherwise conveys a polished and highly professional image.

The company describes its philosophy as being dedicated to "designing buildings that use natural materials and processes to work with nature rather than to fight it... we specify durable timber rather than use CCA timber treatment... we suggest that natural paints, stains and waxes may be safer to apply and more beautiful to live with... and above all we believe that buildings should be designed to be joyful to use and to live in". The design of the site is quite minimalistic; however, the drawings of proposed projects and good quality photographs of completed self build schemes are an enlivening presence which prevent the site slipping into architectural pretension.

This is a very rich and elegantly designed site, available in HTML or Flash versions. Happily, the HTML version is no poor relation, with access to the full content of the site; the Flash version, with its clever effects, can be a little infuriating if you wish to find information quickly and without fuss. In either version, sections cover news, studio, contacts and information (with details of awards, competetion entries and publications). However, the highlight of the site is its full list of Foster and Partners' projects, which can be organised chronologically, alphabetically, by location or by building type. There is a short article about each scheme, accompanied by some quite stunning images, including some movies. In all, this is a splendid insight into one of Britain's most celebrated and enduring architects and practices, deservedly awarded a Sapling Commendation. [GAS, 11 Aug 2005].

Wisconsin-based Johnsen Schmaling Architects describes itself as "a young collaborative architecture studio whose work, which features a sensitive apporach to sustainability and contextuality, has been recognised nationally and internationally". Using Flash, the design of the site is simple and classy, with an illustrated 'work' section featuring the studio's projects, and an 'articles' page linking to coverage of its work in the media. While the whole site is clearly designed to be very minimal - really letting the images speak for themselves - some might find the absence of very much text frustrating. [GAS, 24 Aug 2006].

New York-based Kutnicki Bernstein Architects provide full architectural, interior design, and engineering services. The company's site is primarily an illustrated project archive, showcasing residential, corporate interior, commercial, institutional, new-build and restoration schemes. The site is attractive, and the quality of the images is very good, but the absence of text - either about the featured projects or the practice in general - gives the site a slightly anonymous feel.

LCA Town Planning & Architecture, LLC

http://www.lcaarchitects.com/



Based in Portland, OR and Berkeley, CA, LCA Town Planning & Architecture describe themselves as "a nationally prominent firm specialising in the development and repair of urban, suburban and small town communities". According to the site, the practice's work is "based on holistic planning and design principles that reflect time-tested patterns of successful neighbourhoods, main streets and town centres... our people offer a rigorous and comprehensive approach to planning and design that ranges from background research and public involvement to design work and plan implementation". The LCA site is attractively designed, and offers a wealth of interesting content, including extensive coverage of recent projects. Under the headings of New Neighbourhoods & Campuses, Main Street & Town Centre Revitalisation and Suburban & Strip Redevelopment, each project benefits from a helpful description, and is appropriately illustrated using drawings and photographs. Elsewhere, the site includes background about the company and its services, information about its involvement in the Charrette Planning Process ("a carefully orchestrated, collaborative design process that produces a co-authored, feasible plan") plus a useful resources section with publications and links. A pressroom, newsletter and events section are also provided, but are rather out of date; these are the only detraction from what is otherwise a content-rich and impressive site.

Nagan Johnson is "an award-winning architects' practice based near London Waterloo", whose "projects aim to create contemporary, fluid spaces which object to conventional boundaries between the interior and exterior." The firm's long-established Flash site is rich in content if rather fiddly to navigate, with copious illustrated project examples, news updates, staff profiles, and a section of links. A more recent addition is a completely separate mobile website, optimised for hand-held devices. Presented in the form of a quarterly newsletter, the content here is chatty, engaging and enlivened with attractive images. Indeed, such is the mobile site's simplicity and ease of navigation, it arguably works better than the Flash site in a regular browser too. [GAS, 5 Dec 2011].

Pleiade Associates is an architectural and design company based in Bristol and London. As the site explains, "We design with simplicity, aiming for economical beauty. Our quest is to meet clients' and users' needs by producing greater effects with lesser means". This philosophy is also reflected in the company's website, which makes a refreshing change from the norm; where many architects would use Flash, Pleiade Associates have concentrated on making the site fully accessible - a site "primarily intended for communication" rather than promotion. Similarly, while the site offers some interesting discussion of airport expansion issues, and is peppered with quotes from Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein, among others, photographs of buildings are conspicuous by their absence. It's certainly an intriguing site - take a look yourself and make up your own mind about whether it really works or not. [GAS, 2 Mar 2006].
