Architecture Portfolio Templates

Browse architecture portfolio templates

9 templates built for practices and students showing built and unbuilt work: wide layouts for plans, sections and renders, project pages that carry drawings next to text. A live site, not a PDF. If you shoot the buildings yourself, see photography portfolio templates. More in design portfolio templates.

Picking the right one

How to choose an architecture portfolio template

The right template gets out of the way and lets the buildings read. Five things to check before you commit.

Lead with images, not chrome

Your elevations, plans and renders should fill the screen. Look for large image blocks with minimal decoration around them, so a project shows at full scale instead of through a cramped thumbnail grid.
Check the grid and the whitespace

Architecture is spatial, and the layout should respect that. Generous margins let a residential build or a competition entry breathe. Busy templates fight the work.
Structure for case studies, not just galleries

A strong architecture portfolio walks a client through a project: the brief, the site, the process, the result. Pick a template that supports long project pages mixing images and text, not only a wall of photos.
Confirm you can go past the presets

If precise control over spacing, grid and type matters to you, choose a platform with custom CSS and HTML rather than a fixed theme. Every Pixpa architecture template is drag-and-drop editable and opens up to custom code on any plan.
Check client delivery and mobile

If you share renders with clients before they go public, a platform with built-in Client Galleries saves you a second tool. And since clients often open a portfolio on a phone straight after a meeting, confirm the template is responsive.
