# OLA Research: an architecture firm that lives in one model

> A website for an architecture studio whose whole identity is a single 3D model used as the main environment, so the portfolio is explored, not scrolled.

An architecture firm has an obvious thing to show on its website: architecture. OLA Research took that literally. Its identity lives inside **a single 3D architectural model**, and that model is the main environment of the whole experience.

## Instead of a portfolio grid

Visitors move through one cohesive space. It introduces the studio and surfaces its projects as part of the same immersive world, so there is no separate gallery page to leave to.

## How it is built

It uses Three.js with real-time rendering, and it turns a company site into something you explore rather than something you scroll past.

## Try it

The site is live at [ola-research.vercel.app](https://ola-research.vercel.app/), and the details are on the [project page](https://andersonmancini.dev/projects/ola-research.md).
