visual identity

Northform Plans is a premium house plan brand created by the team at Strom Architecture, offering a curated collection of architect-designed homes that balance beauty, functionality, and Midwestern warmth. They approached me to create a brand identity that would set them apart from generic online plan providers, communicating their design expertise, grounded sensibility, and focus on quality over quantity.

The identity blends clean architectural precision with natural, earthy tones and refined typography, reflecting the timelessness and livability at the heart of each design. The result is a brand that feels both elevated and approachable — giving homeowners, builders, and developers confidence in plans that are thoughtfully created, builder-ready, and designed to truly live well.

brand vision

The branding for Northform Plans was designed to capture the intersection of architectural expertise and grounded Midwestern living. A restrained, earthy palette and structured typography convey clarity and professionalism, while subtle organic tones bring warmth and humanity to the brand. The identity reflects Northform’s commitment to intentional design — premium yet approachable, modern yet timeless — positioning it as a trusted source for plans that balance aesthetic beauty with everyday practicality.

"Architect-designed house plans that balance beauty, function, and the warmth of Midwestern living."
