STUDIO DUFFY
A celebration of 30 years of innovation and design excellence for an Irish architecture practice.
A celebration of 30 years of innovation and design excellence for an Irish architecture practice.
Elevating Bell Phillips’ digital presence with a reimagined identity and website that reflects their commitment to sustainable and human-centred design.
A new website and visual identity designed for Studio Duffy, a multidisciplinary architecture and interior design studio based in Dublin.
The concept was built around clarity, duality, and precision—featuring a refined, editorial structure that distinguishes yet connects the two core disciplines: Architecture and Interiors. A vertical navigation system runs across the site to reflect this duality, reinforced by sector-specific colours, subtle animations, and carefully considered typography. A rich and scalable CMS allows the team to effortlessly manage projects, journal posts, and future updates.
“Thank you, Alice, for your incredible work in building our new website! Your design perfectly captures the essence of our rebrand with Studio Duffy. It was a delight working alongside you to bring this vision to life.”

Process
The collaboration with Studio Duffy commenced with an in-depth discovery phase, aiming to understand the studio's ethos and the interplay between their architectural and interior design disciplines. Recognising the importance of both unity and distinction, the design concept centred on clarity, duality, and precision.
A vertical navigation system was implemented to symbolise the dual nature of their services, allowing users to seamlessly explore both architecture and interiors. This structure was complemented by sector-specific colour palettes and refined typography, enhancing the editorial feel of the website.
To ensure scalability and ease of content management, a robust CMS was integrated, empowering the Studio Duffy team to effortlessly update projects, journal entries, and other content.
