Senawa

What it is

Senawa is a professional design studio located in the Greater Jakarta area. They provide architecture, interior design, and furniture design services for residential and commercial clients, focusing on how people live within their spaces.

Visual direction

The site uses full-bleed architectural photography as the primary background, with UI elements layered directly over the imagery. A centered logo sits at the top, while a horizontal list of project titles and years spans the bottom edge. The color palette is driven by the natural tones of the featured projects, such as wood, concrete, and greenery, contrasted with white text and a dark vertical sidebar on the right.

Structure & content

The site is organized around a project showcase, with navigation labels for Work, Studio, Process, Elements, and Contact. A 'Browse by type' section categorizes projects into Residential and Commercial. Individual project entries, such as AA House and Louver House, are listed with their completion year and category.

Why study it

The site demonstrates a layout where navigation and project metadata are integrated into the margins of full-screen imagery. It also uses a clear project indexing system that displays project counts by category, such as Residential and Commercial, directly in the navigation interface.
