CASE STUDY · IT & PRODUCT

Atelier Beaumont, the portfolio that closes the project.

Lyon-based interior architecture firm specialised in high-end residential. Premium vitrine site with immersive portfolio (full-screen galleries, chromatic transitions calibrated on projects), qualified contact form by budget and timeline. 5 weeks from kickoff to prod.

We wanted a site that looks like our projects, not a stock portfolio. MethodK understood from the first meeting.

Direction · Atelier Beaumont
Brief

A site that filters clients at the right budget.

The firm received many off-target inquiries (low-tier projects while they operate at the premium end). They wanted a premium site that owns the upmarket positioning, with a contact journey that naturally pre-qualifies (budget, timeline, scope).

Constraints

Absolute premium aesthetics · preserved performance.

The site had to be visually premium — full-screen galleries, uncompressed photography, sophisticated transitions. But without breaking performance (Core Web Vitals 90+). Mobile-first because 75% of prospects discover on smartphone (Instagram).

Approach

Next.js + next/image · Sanity CMS · qualified contact journey.

Next.js with next/image and blur placeholders for heavy galleries. Sanity as CMS for the firm to add projects autonomously. 4-step contact journey (budget, timeline, scope, appointment booking) that filters non-aligned inquiries. Vercel hosting.

Outcomes

What shipped, and what compounded.
