Lanternwick

Lanternwick is a portfolio you walk through. Your work lives in a tiny 3D village: every project is a house, and a small character walks the stone paths to whichever one a visitor picks.

Click a house, a map label or a nav item and she sets off along the paths, while the camera holds one calm shot of the whole route. When she reaches the door, a card opens with the project, its client, role and year, and a link to the full case study. Switch to night and every window and lantern lights up. Drag to look around, scroll to zoom, or step back to the whole village.

Every building, tree, path stone, bridge and the walking character were generated with Tripo AI and optimised for the web, so the village loads in a few seconds and runs smoothly.

The inner pages are calm and editorial: warm paper, one dark ink, Fraunces headlines and Inter text, and a dark footer with a giant serif name.
