I'm a French UX Designer and Art Director, originating from Poland and currently living in Canada. I see every project I am involved in as an opportunity to go further, providing my clients and employers with quality materials and a great working relationship.

With no doubt, simplicity and creativity were in the designer's mind when building this site, yet, I feel many issues, both IA and UI wise, don't do justice to the overall experience and to the beautiful contents.
- The intro can definitely be a curiosity grabber, but after seeing it, I doubt about its purpose.
- It took me couples of tries to get how to open the menu. I first thought I had to drag the "strip" to the right.
- Don't forget the user of mouse cursor (pointer) to indicate what element are clickable
- I literally jumped on my chair when I mouse-over the link in the menu!! I didn't expect that (piano key sounds), and I have to say this was not a good surprise.
- I expected the logo in the menu to be clickable (link to home page)
- In the home page, there is no way to control the slider (tried to click, used scroll wheel, etc...), to browse it and to directly access a project
- In the home page, on certain resolutions (tablet/portrait), I feel like the images could take the whole screen (like background-image: cover)
- I feel like either the home page (if each slides would be a link to a project) or the works page is useless
- In the works page (desktop), I could not find a way to make the projects slides (didn't see the two small arrows in the bottom)
- The font choice needs more contrast. I can understand the need for simplicity, but here, it feels like too uniform and monotonous
- Some other UI elements would need a bit of work, visually speaking
I like your architectural works though, they are beautiful :)

Love the intro. Honestly don't really get the meaning of the intro page(is it a maze?) but it really stimulates my curiosity to check out the site!
Was listening to music real loud while looking through the site and I was shocked by the piano key hover effect on your side menu! LOL
FONT - Font sizes are slightly inconsistent throughout the site. Headlines are in different sizes between About page and single work page. Some are in bold and some are not.
Cool background effect by the way. And one more thing, it would be really great if the images/project links are embedded with URLs.
