WEBSITE DESIGN / NORDHAUS / 2026

Existing homes.
A clearer next step.

An expressive renovation website that connects windows, facades and loft floors with a useful first brief.

An independent service-website study by Bureau Fast, shaped around the practical questions of improving an existing home.

The task

A draught or a tired facade can be the starting point. NORDHAUS helps homeowners ask the right questions and organize their answers into a useful brief.

Graphite, mineral ivory and copper shape the visual direction. Expressive typography and warm house imagery connect the overall idea with the details of the craft.

The mobile experience

Three decisions

A construction character.

A split hero and overlapping junction detail establish the craft focus. Numbered services lead into project studies, four process steps and a copper planner section.

Three complete language journeys.

EN, DE and RU carry through the whole experience: services, project studies, questions, guidance and the finished brief.

A useful planner on the homepage.

Four steps cover property and region, services, context and review. Undecided answers remain explicit, and a service choice carries from its page into the planner.

One useful document

The overview can be read, copied or saved as a text file. Edits keep the brief current, and properties outside the planning area can still be included with a clear note.

When you submit an enquiry, your project brief, sample contact details and consent are stored on this website’s server. Only the owner and a holder of the private enquiry link can open its details. This test does not send email or arrange a visit.

Clarity through the journey

Four steps connect property, services, context and review. Clear questions keep the brief focused and make it easy to return to a choice.

All three languages follow the same sequence. Service choices carry into the brief, and the finished overview is easy to keep for the next conversation.

A consistent experience across services, project studies and the planner.

A clear next step

A clear content structure connects the services with the practical questions behind them. The final brief gives a conversation a useful starting point.

From a broad idea to a useful overview: the project keeps the next step in view.
