WEB DESIGN AND BRANDING FOR ARCHITECTS
Studio Zerbey
Studio Zerbey is an architecture firm led by Lauren and Kyle Zerbey, a husband-and-wife team known for their personable approach to designing modern homes that balance warmth, natural light, and deep connection to place.
"Easy to work with and they do great work.
As our branding agency, they handled our complete brand identity and logo design, followed by a sophisticated web design that captures our aesthetic perfectly.
Their monthly SEO services have been a game-changer for our online visibility. Since we started, we’ve seen a significant increase in organic traffic and better leads. If you are looking for a digital marketing team that truly understands the balance between quality web design and technical search engine optimization, we cannot recommend the team at Bizango enough."

Principal, Studio Zerbey Architecture + Interiors
Studio Zerbey is approachable, collaborative, and detail-oriented. They listen first, ask good questions, and design homes that respond to each client, their land, budget, and lifestyle. They also do incredible work.
The challenge of the project was not simply to modernize the aesthetics of Studio Zerbey’s website, but to redefine and elevate the firm’s entire brand presence.
The Zerbeys wanted a visual identity and digital experience that reflected the quality and intentionality of their work while still feeling approachable, collaborative, and deeply personal. In a field where many architecture websites rely on gorgeous imagery but little personality, the goal was to create a brand that captured both the beauty of the finished homes and the warmth and trust built throughout the design process.
At the same time, the new site needed to rebuild the firm’s organic visibility after years of relying on blog-driven SEO that had gradually lost traction.
Branding Studio Zerbey
The branding work became a major part of the transformation.
Bizango developed a completely new logo and visual identity system inspired by architectural space itself — drawing from cubic geometry, dimensional layering, and the feeling of moving through light-filled environments.
Warm, earthy tones replaced colder minimalist palettes often seen in contemporary architecture branding, helping the firm feel more human and inviting. On the website, subtle animated color transitions and shifting gradients introduced a slightly psychedelic, atmospheric quality that gave the experience energy and movement without overwhelming the work itself.
The result was a brand that felt sophisticated and modern, but also emotional, immersive, and distinctly reflective of Studio Zerbey’s design philosophy.
Redesigning the Website
From the beginning, the project centered on balancing sophistication with humanity.
The new visual direction embraced large-scale architectural photography, immersive whitespace, subtle motion, and editorial-style pacing, while avoiding the coldness or sterility often associated with luxury architecture sites.
The team explored how to create a more emotionally engaging experience — one that reflected the Zerbeys’ belief that great architecture is not imposed on clients, but developed alongside them through trust, conversation, and long-term partnership.
The resulting website leaned into narrative storytelling rather than a traditional portfolio grid alone. Instead of simply showcasing projects, the homepage guides visitors through Studio Zerbey’s philosophy, process, and personality before immersing them in the work itself. Subtle animations, layered layouts, curated imagery, and planned video integration helped create a sense of movement and atmosphere inspired by the homes they design.
Throughout the process, the project became as much about articulating the firm’s identity as it was about web design — defining a brand that feels refined and design-forward, yet grounded, personal, and unmistakably Pacific Northwest.
