GISTO

The desktop homepage features a minimalist layout with a large hero image of silhouetted figures against a purple-lit background, overlaid with bold black text for 'GISTO' and 'Work About'. Below the hero section, a vertical grid displays various project entries, each consisting of a large rectangular image followed by a bold title and a descriptive paragraph in black text on a white background.

The mobile version maintains the minimalist aesthetic but transitions to a single-column vertical stack. The hero image and large typography are scaled down, and the project entries follow a continuous vertical scroll where images and text occupy the full width of the screen.

GISTO is a multidisciplinary studio and workshop operating at the intersection of architecture, design, and craftsmanship. Based in Milan and Treviso, the studio focuses on research-driven projects that emphasize material sustainability, circular development, and a deep connection to local contexts and institutions. The visual identity is defined by a bold, high-impact typographic approach and a sophisticated use of scale. By utilizing massive, heavy sans-serif typefaces that bleed across the frame, the design creates a sense of architectural permanence and structural weight. The aesthetic is clean and minimalist, allowing the atmospheric, high-contrast photography to serve as the primary narrative driver, effectively communicating the studio's tactile and experimental nature.
