Pushing Webflow to its limits, for the love of animation
Arqui9 is an award-winning creative agency, renowned for its cinematic films, architectural renderings, and immersive visual experiences. Over the past two decades, the agency has produced an esteemed body of creative work for industry leaders, including Zaha Hadid Architects, Ferrari, and Mercedes-Benz, bringing their iconic visual concepts to life.
Now, 20 years on, it was time for an upgrade of their own digital identity. Arqui9 approached N4 for a complete website redesign - aligning their online presence with their celebrated work and pioneering spirit, while also connecting with their global, design-conscious audience.

Immersive design vs web performance
Our core challenge was to balance visual impact with website functionality, crafting a compelling showcase of Arqui9's work without affecting load times or performance across global markets.
To achieve this, we pushed Webflow’s capabilities to their creative limits, placing careful attention on how we integrated Arqui9’s high-fidelity assets to preserve their visual integrity while delivering a smooth user experience.
Dynamic, fluid, motion-driven web design
To encapsulate Arqui9’s capabilities, we crafted a hyper-immersive web design, utilising seamless motion to bring their creative portfolio to life.
The design emphasises dynamic transitions, scroll-triggered animations, and interactive elements that embody the agency’s pioneering spirit. And thanks to Webflow’s high-performance framework, these visual effects unfold with ease - taking on a life of their own, in harmony with the user.
Visualising the power of partnership
Arqui9’s approach to creative development is defined by deep collaboration, offering clients a co-creative journey.
To visually capture this unique offering, we designed an immersive process section that invites users to explore each phase at their own pace through the interplay of custom graphics.
Into the future
The site’s footer animation brings the immersive experience to a close, transforming Arqui9’s wordmark into a forward-moving logo.
Our team provided the art direction for this final moment, nurturing a captivating visual flourish that symbolises the agency’s relentless pursuit of innovation.
