Garden Eight, a Tokyo-based studio of seven, shares their philosophy and process for building corporate and brand websites. They describe how design and development are treated as a single continuous act rather than sequential stages, with motion and interaction serving as core experience elements rather than decoration. The post walks through several projects — including their own portfolio, the aircord studio site, HONKA RE:FRAME!, PHOTOYOSHI, ANAI WOOD, and plantica — detailing how WebGL, Three.js, Blender, Jamstack (Nuxt, Contentful, Netlify), and headless CMS architectures were used to create immersive, performant, and accessible web experiences. Key themes include the integration of 3D visuals with DOM content, performance optimization, accessibility, and CMS flexibility.
