What it is ​

AKU is a design studio based in Tallinn, Estonia. Its portfolio site moves from a short studio introduction into a long, typographic list of projects, with individual pages that present visual work across broad color fields.

When to open it ​

Open it to study a minimal studio portfolio that gives project names room to act as its main visual navigation, or to see how a short text introduction can lead into a varied visual archive.

Most useful ​

  • Home page — the introductory statement occupies the top of the page; a compact INFO control opens contact, team and capability details.
  • Project archive — project titles appear in a simple vertical sequence with generous gaps, so the index reads clearly without image cards.
  • Case pages — an example case page opens with a large title, a pale-blue text panel and full-width imagery further down. Use it to inspect the studio's layout and visual presentation.

Using it with agents ​

No MCP, API, CLI or agent guide is published. The /llms.txt route opens a directory listing rather than an agent-readable text file. An agent can browse the portfolio and follow its project pages.

Watch out for ​

  • The portfolio showcases cross-media identity and editorial work; study its page composition and type hierarchy rather than treating the project imagery as reusable web assets.
  • No public service prices or reuse licence were stated at review. Treat the work as look-only.

Reusable ideas ​

  • Use a short studio statement as a quiet lead-in to a text-first project index.
  • Give project names enough scale and spacing to serve as both labels and navigation.
  • Set case introductions on a solid color field, then let larger images carry the visual detail further down the page.
