Terraform Studios
Portfolio and capabilities site for a creative studio pushing the boundaries of spatial design.
The Brief
Terraform Studios creates immersive spatial experiences for brands — everything from retail environments to exhibition design. Their new site needed to showcase work that’s inherently three-dimensional through a two-dimensional medium. Koto’s design leaned into bold typography and full-bleed imagery, with careful attention to how projects would be sequenced and revealed.
The Build
The technical challenge was performance. The site is image-heavy by necessity, so we implemented aggressive lazy loading, AVIF/WebP with fallbacks, and a custom image pipeline that serves optimized assets based on viewport and connection speed.
The project grid uses a masonry layout that reflows elegantly across breakpoints. Each case study page features a custom scroll-driven narrative — images and text reveal in choreographed sequences that mirror the spatial storytelling Terraform does in physical spaces.
The Result
Core Web Vitals in the green across all metrics despite the image density. The site has become a reference point in conversations with prospective clients — it demonstrates Terraform’s work while embodying the same attention to craft they bring to physical spaces.
