The brief

Ostrow had published 24 of its projects online, because adding one meant briefing a designer. The rest sat in folders of drawings and photographs.

What we built

A content model built around how architects describe work: client, site, area, stage, team and a sequence of images with captions. A Python script imported 70 older projects from the folders, which the partners then corrected.

After launch

The practice publishes a project the week it completes, and four times as many projects are online.
