Last Updated January 5 2024

Your architecture portfolio website can make or break your chances of getting the next job. So ensure you make a great online portfolio ⁠— take inspiration from some of the best architecture portfolios we have discovered!

An architect’s portfolio should showcase their work. Excellent photography (and sometimes even 3D models) and complementing website copy are critical. The portfolio design should use whitespace to frame photography and avoid clutter. The style of typography and photography can be used to communicate a vibe. You can also tell your or previous projects’ stories to create a stronger appeal.

Overall, architect websites are pretty simple— potential clients expect just a portfolio and ways to contact the architect. Therefore, ensure those two elements are perfect - have a professional click the photos and make the contact details obvious and easy to find.

Note : Since there’s very little to play within the architecture portfolio web designs, we have only described the first few portfolio websites in-depth. The rest follow a similar template as one of the described ones.

Tip: Use ← and → arrow keys to browse.

Cynthia Hamilton and Chris Snowber are the brains behind this architectural firm. They focus on residential properties that connect the many stages of the building process from architect to builder.

The company website/portfolio site is very straightforward (which you should aim for when building your architecture portfolio).

The landing page has two columns: The main section is a slideshow of (top-notch!) images of some of their projects with CTAs to each project. And the left sidebar is a navigation section.

You can find their new work, work in progress, and past works from the navigation. Besides, they have links to all the typical pages in the navigation bar - about, contact, media, etc.


Screenshot of Douglas Cardinal, from the architecture portfolios collection.

Douglas Cardinal studied at The University of British Columbia before moving to Texas and becoming an architecture student. His love for nature flows through his work and creates a unique flow of design.

Right as you enter his website, the tagline “Without any preconceptions, I evolve a design from the inside out, open to all possibilities.” mesmerizes you. His philosophy page is equally impressive, with mentions of his “signature style of harmonious curvilinear forms,” “understanding of architecture as a tool to better the world,” and more.

The central part: His portfolio items are placed a bit deep into the website under Work \> Categories (Spiritual, Educational, Health, Museums, Masterplans, Housing, Lodging, Civic, Commercial) \> Pages, but each portfolio piece is well presented with great pictures. We’d recommend keeping the portfolio items as easily accessible as possible.

Sasaki has been in the works for over 65 years and only continues to grow. Their design style blends many different outlooks to create a forward-moving design concept with sustainability at the top.

Their website has a modern feel to it. It has fantastic fonts, amazing animations, high-quality photos, and concise copy.

On their Projects page, they have a search bar to find if you are looking for any specific architecture design project and filters if you want to look at their projects in a particular sector, region, service, or type of architecture. In addition, each project’s details include multiple well-shot photos from across the project’s premises, and each photo has a precise, well-describing caption.

Just like with the Projects section, Sasaki nails all the website’s pages. In short, if you have a big architecture firm, Sasaki’s online portfolio and the website design are worth looking up to.

EPT Design is a large firm that combines customer service, passion, and design for the ultimate delivery of a project. Their passion for creative spaces and unique designs shows through in various ways, including in their parks and residential projects.

If you can’t think of any other template for your portfolio website, simply copying EPT Design’s web design & structure will put your website in the top percentage of the architecture portfolio websites.

They have perhaps the best first impression of all on this list. The above-the-fold section of their website is a slideshow of full-page images of their best work. Then, as you scroll down, they introduce you to what they do, who they are, how they go about projects, and some of their past work.

Then there’s their portfolio/work page. It is well-categorized and well-designed, with ample white space and high-quality images of the projects. You can click on any project to find more details, including who the client was, who the architect was, what awards the design won, what LEED score the project got, and more.

Their website looks a bit corny, but it’s still definitely worth looking at for foundational inspiration. Its full-size homepage images give it a modern look. The navigation bar is minimal, with the only three options anyone would look for in an architect’s website: About, Portfolio, and Contact. Below the fold, the homepage contains the typical yet must-have testimonials, a bio, a ‘latest’ section, and a contact form.
