Help me if you can, I have been searching the whole www, looking for what seems to be the non-existent. A well designed website for an architectural firm. I have told a client that I would show her examples of other firms who had great sites. Alas, it seems as though there are none. Have any of you ever seen one. An architect firm with great design. That is not done in flash. What I am looking for is well organized. CLEAN, and flash free. Preferably with a great project/portfolio design.
Anyone? Anyone?

I know it's not a firm, but Dwell magazine has a very nicely designed site that "feels" very architectural. I would recommend checking it out:
also check out LA based Morphosis:

This might help too.
http://www.archinect.com/We're in the same spot. We're looking to do a nice html/css site for a progressive arch firm right now. The examples that are out there are pretty bad.

consider yourselves lucky there is nothing to seek inspiration from and make something to fill the void you feel is there

hehe thanks guys. I told you, it is quite a challenge. I do like the feel of dwell.

I am not looking for inspiration.. I am looking for example to show a potential client, without having to offer up designs of our own for free.

ah edison's theory, "i'll make it like theirs but for you" :)
weird, i've never shown a client someone else's work, they usually show me what they have in mind and i comp from there on a paid basis, but never someone else's effort as a pre-comp offered up by myself.

v.5 Your obviously still confused about what we are seeking. The client asked to see examples of what we were talking about.. tight css design, etc.. yada yada. As it pertained specifically to her industry. we said we would see if we could find some examples. We have been unable to find a decent architects site. We were amazed that we could not find a decent site, and decided to see if any of you could. Get off your high horse already.

text in portuguese but you'll find a bunch of nice links under "Portuguese architects" and "International architects" in the right-column if you want. some are flash but most are html driven on content.

oh, fuck, wait. don't call.

if you cant find any arch sites with the look you are after, then show em some sites in other diciplines that deliver the content in the way you think that would apply to them. win them with your recommendations.
