Likova is a Class A business centre leasing office space. The site sells a building that most tenants will judge on photography and location long before they read a square-metre figure.
Commercial leasing sites usually open with a search form, which asks a visitor to specify what they want before they know whether they want the building at all. Likova needed to make the case for the property first, then make enquiring easy — without hiding the practical detail a broker needs.
The first screen is architectural photography at full bleed with a single positioning line over it. Selection tools — office space, shortlist, contact — sit in the header where they are available but not demanding, so browsing comes first and filtering comes when the visitor is ready.
A Class A building is bought on impression: the massing, the glazing, the way it sits against the sky. The hero gives that a full-bleed frame with a short positioning line and nothing else competing for attention.
The wordmark is set into a solid panel that overlaps the image, which keeps the brand legible against a photograph that changes tone from top to bottom without needing a scrim over the whole frame.
Instead of opening with filters, the header carries three persistent actions: select office space, a saved shortlist, and contact. A visitor can browse the building, save what interests them, and only then narrow by floor or area.
The shortlist is the part that matters commercially — it turns a browsing session into a specific conversation, and it is what the enquiry form is pre-filled from.
The layout is built for horizontal viewing. Architectural photography loses its subject when cropped to a portrait column, so the tablet and desktop experiences share a composition and the portrait case is handled deliberately rather than by squeezing the same grid.
Leasing enquiries start in search, so page titles, headings and descriptions are written around how tenants actually search — building class, location and the kind of space — rather than around the marketing name alone.
Because a visitor cannot filter for a building they have not decided they want. The photography makes the case first; selection tools stay in the header, available the moment they are needed.
It lets a visitor save specific spaces while browsing and carries that selection into the enquiry, so the first conversation with the leasing team is about named units rather than a blank request.
Architectural photography loses its subject in a narrow portrait crop. The composition is built for horizontal viewing and the portrait case is handled as its own layout.
