Project Description
Wowhaus is an architectural firm with 15 years of experience in the integrated design of public spaces and urban environments. Founded by Oleg Shapiro and Dmitry Likin, the bureau has implemented more than 100 projects across Russia-from the improvement of embankments to the revitalization of historical centers. Key works include the Krymskaya Embankment in Moscow, the transformation of the center of Tula, the Kamala Theater in Kazan and the Arkhangelsk Estate Museum. The Bureau is known for its human-centered approach, attention to the local context and creation of multifunctional spaces that develop together with the city. Wowhaus is a multiple winner of prestigious professional awards, including the World Architecture Festival and Urban Awards.
For Wowhaus, we developed a new corporate website that digitally reflects the bureau's philosophy. The main focus is on the presentation of projects — visitors can study key works in detail through high-quality visualizations and descriptions. The site shows the full range of the bureau's activities: from urban planning concepts to the implementation of public spaces. Particular attention is paid to the Wowhaus methodology, which includes an in-depth analysis of the territory, development of use cases and step-by-step design.
After the launch of the new website, the bureau received a modern tool for presenting its expertise. The site has become an important channel for attracting new customers and partners, as well as a reliable source of information for the professional community. The resource effectively represents the multifaceted activities of Wowhaus, emphasizing the bureau's status as one of the leaders in the field of modern architecture and urbanism.
