Urbahn Architects
Urbahn Architects is a New York City–based architectural practice with a history spanning nearly 80 years. Founded in 1945, the firm has built a reputation for innovative, purpose-driven design that responds to the evolving needs of communities.
Their portfolio ranges from modest structures to large-scale urban developments, always guided by a commitment to precision, creativity, and collaboration. The team approaches each project with curiosity and an openness to fresh perspectives, ensuring that every design reflects both context and vision.
Urbahn views architecture as a catalyst for shaping public life. Whether designing civic spaces, cultural institutions, or transformative developments, they focus on creating environments that strengthen community connections and enrich daily experiences.
Approaching its 80th anniversary, the firm’s leadership recognized an opportunity to revitalize their online presence—showcasing the depth, creativity, and range of their work. The aim was to build a modern digital platform that celebrated their legacy while setting the stage for the next generation of design.
Concept
As Urbahn Architects marked their 80th anniversary, they set out to create a website that would honor their legacy while positioning the firm for the future. They needed a platform that could showcase decades of architectural achievement, reflect their design excellence, and connect with the next generation of clients and collaborators.
Maxburst worked closely with Urbahn to deliver a redesign that blends history with modernity. We preserved the site’s familiar structure for effortless navigation, while introducing contemporary features that enhance usability and storytelling. A custom-built Elementor visual editor now allows their team to manage content with ease, ensuring every update maintains the firm’s distinct visual identity.
The finished site is more than a digital portfolio—it’s an immersive experience that captures the spirit of Urbahn’s work. With clean layouts, striking imagery, and intuitive navigation, the platform engages visitors across all devices. Supported by robust hosting and ongoing maintenance, it’s designed to adapt and grow as Urbahn Architects continues shaping communities for decades to come.
