Lakeside House homepage - editorial photography first, everything else quiet.
01 The brief

A dated site underselling premium homes.

Lakeside House builds bespoke luxury homes in Darras Hall and across Northumberland - every one a masterpiece of craft. But the old website told a different story: small photography, cluttered listings and no sense of the quality in the houses themselves. Buyers arrived from the portals, saw nothing to trust, and left.

The brief: make the website feel like walking into the show home. Photography first, quiet typography, and a simple route from “I like this house” to “book a viewing”.

02 What we built

Editorial property pages

Full-bleed photography, floorplans and specification - each home presented like a magazine feature, not a listing row.

Development microsites

Each development gets its own story, plots and live availability - one place to send every buyer.

Private buyer access

Prestigious plots behind a request-access door - approved buyers see detailed specifications, private floorplans, pricing and live project updates.

Brand refresh

Wordmark, palette and print consistency - the boards outside the plots now match the site.

03 The work
Property listing - photography leads, detail follows.
Development overview - plots, availability and story.
