Atelier Vaudanne
Architecture practices show their work in sliders with no captions. You scroll through twelve photographs and learn nothing: not where the building stands, not what year it went up, not what stood there before. The images are the argument, and the argument is left mute.
Every project is named
Nine buildings, each with its place, its year, its programme, and a sentence on what the job actually was — a conversion, an extension, a roof raised by one storey. That is what a prospective client reads to decide whether this practice has done anything like their project.
A team without portraits
Five people, with their names and their roles, and no photographs. A portrait is only worth showing when it is the real one: five headshots taken on five different days read worse than a list held straight, and the day the practice commissions a proper series, it drops into place without breaking anything.
The map is drawn, not embedded
The location plan is a desaturated OpenStreetMap tile served locally, not a Google iframe. No third-party script, no cookie banner, nothing loaded from outside — the page makes zero external requests.
