About

DROM is a collective of urbanists, architects, and designers driven by a singular mission—to create engaging, functional spaces for people. Based in Rotterdam, the studio works on projects of all types and scales across the globe.

As a team of multidisciplinary thinkers with expertise spanning exhibitions, architecture, and master planning, DROM approaches every project with critical analysis and design-driven research. Their work is fueled by a deep curiosity for industrial environments, new urban models, and architectural materiality.

But DROM is more than just the spaces they build—it’s a mindset. Their website needed to reflect that. It wasn’t just about showcasing projects; it had to capture the studio’s bold, experimental, and forward-thinking spirit—the very force that drives them.

Challenge

To design a modern digital presence that reflects DROM’s core values, rebellious energy, and vision for change—a website that breaks conventions and amplifies the studio’s fearless approach.

Solution

Through in-depth interviews and collaborative workshops, we built an identity system rooted in typography—where scale, weight, and contrast became the voice of the brand.

DROM’s boldness found its form in large-scale, contemporary type, shifting the focus onto what’s often written small and overlooked. The website’s design elevates the team alongside their work, reinforcing their presence, personality, and impact.

This wasn’t just a visual statement—it was a strategic departure from the expected. The identity and website establish DROM as a distinctive force in architecture, embodying youth, audacity, and an unshakable drive to reshape the future.

Paired with a meticulously crafted grid system, the design balances raw energy with precision—delivering an aesthetic that is both striking and deeply functional.
