Square42 Architects | Translating Architectural Identity into Digital Design

UX/UI Design · Tailored WordPress Development · Responsive Design · SEO · Content Strategy & Visual Direction

Square42 Architects, an architecture studio based in Heraklion, Crete, founded by Michalis Kapsetakis and Elena Kosmaoglou, partnered with Digital Sapiens to design and develop its new website.

The brief was to translate the studio’s aesthetic and design philosophy into a digital experience that puts its work first. Minimal design and intuitive navigation formed the foundation for presenting the portfolio and introducing the studio’s approach.

Our design approach

The relationship between architecture and its natural and cultural surroundings, attention to detail and sustainable practices are central to Square42 Architects’ philosophy. The website needed to express that approach through the presentation of each project.

We gave imagery space, organised the information and established a visual hierarchy that helps visitors explore the portfolio. Typography, spacing and page layouts were designed as parts of the same experience, creating continuity from the first page to an individual project presentation.

What Digital Sapiens did

UX/UI Design
We designed the website’s structure, navigation and interface, connecting the studio’s aesthetic with visitors’ needs. Project presentation and access to information about the practice guided the core design decisions.

Tailored WordPress Development
We developed the website in WordPress, adapting the implementation to the design requirements and the organisation of architectural content.

Responsive Design
We adapted layouts, imagery and navigation to different screen sizes, keeping the portfolio accessible across desktop, tablet and mobile.

SEO Optimization
We incorporated SEO into the website’s structure and content organisation, helping search engines understand the studio, its projects and its area of practice.

Content Strategy & Visual Direction
We organised the content and its visual presentation, defining the relationship between imagery, text and project information. The aim was to give visitors a consistent view of Square42 Architects’ work and identity.
