Elevating a Market Leader in Architecture

For over 30 years, Posen Architects has been a dominant force in the New York/New Jersey tri-state area, earning a reputation for excellence in large-scale commercial architecture. Their work is widely respected among construction firms and real estate developers, and they have established themselves as leaders in the industry. However, as the firm continued to expand and evolve, they recognized the need for a more contemporary and sophisticated digital presence that would accurately reflect their position in the market. Their existing website and branding had served them well but no longer captured the forward-thinking, innovative spirit that defined their work.

Understanding the gravity of this transformation, Posen Architects engaged Splendor to spearhead their website redesign and branding refresh. The goal was not just to update the firm’s visual identity but to create a comprehensive digital experience that would elevate their stature, attract top-tier architectural talent, and reinforce their standing as a premier firm in their industry.

Defining a Vision for the Future

At the core of this transformation was the need to articulate Posen’s identity in a way that resonated with both existing stakeholders and future collaborators. Through a series of strategic workshops and in-depth discussions, we honed in on the essence of what makes Posen Architects unique. This led to the creation of their new tagline, “Drafting a Better Human Experience.” This phrase succinctly captures their philosophy—designing not just buildings, but environments that enhance the way people live and work.

From a visual perspective, the new brand direction needed to be as sophisticated and high-caliber as their architectural work. We developed a refined color palette, sleek typography, and a minimalistic yet impactful design aesthetic that allowed Posen’s impressive portfolio to take center stage. The result was a brand identity that felt contemporary, authoritative, and reflective of their expertise.

Crafting a World-Class Website

A firm of Posen’s caliber needed a website that was more than just an online brochure—it needed to be a compelling, immersive experience that drew visitors in and told a powerful story. Our design and development approach focused on a few key priorities:

• Showcasing the Work – The website places Posen’s architectural portfolio front and center, featuring stunning imagery and detailed project narratives that highlight the thoughtfulness and impact behind each design.
• Positioning for Growth – Beyond showcasing past work, the site needed to communicate Posen’s vision for the future. Content was crafted to appeal to developers, partners, and ambitious architects seeking to join their team.
• Seamless User Experience – The new site architecture was meticulously designed to create an intuitive, engaging journey. Every page flows effortlessly, making it easy for users to explore the firm’s expertise, projects, and team.
• Responsive & Future-Proof – Built on a modern, flexible platform, the site delivers a flawless experience across all devices and will evolve with the firm over time.

The Impact

The transformation of Posen Architects’ brand and website has had an immediate and profound impact. The new website not only showcases their remarkable body of work but also serves as a powerful recruitment tool, attracting top-tier architects who are eager to be part of a firm that leads with innovation and excellence. The client has been thrilled with the final outcome, and the website continues to garner praise from industry peers, clients, and prospective employees alike.
