Corda Campus Sustainability
)
Introduction
With over 250 companies and 5000 people, Corda Campus is a thriving tech hub in Belgium. It’s a place where innovation and business meet fun and community, attracting startups, scale-ups and corporates from around the world.
Because sustainability is such an important pillar for Corda Campus, they asked us to help them create a website that clearly explains their long-term masterplan. They also wanted to offer residents of the campus and easy way to access important documents. As fellow Corda residents ourselves, we were more than happy to help.

Challenges
The sustainability site needed to feel fresh and unique - separate from the main Corda Campus brand - but still subtly connected to it. We experimented with balance: something new, but not totally detached.
A bigger design challenge came from the sustainability topics themselves. Each one (like poverty, zero hunger, good health and well-being, etc.) is tied to official icons and colors that we weren’t allowed to change - even though they didn’t quite match our chosen design style. The task was to make them feel they belonged anyway.

Design
We went for a friendly, playful branding approach to balance out the site’s serious and important content. Rounded shapes and hand-drawn scribbles add personality and guide the eye, giving the site a creative twist without losing clarity.
Green was, of course, a key color - both because of the Corda identity and the sustainability theme. But we played with different shades, from fresh minty tones to deep forest greens, to keep things visually rich and layered.
Typography plays a leading role - not just in telling the story, but as a design element in itself. Combined wit fluid animations and overlapping blocks that slide smoothly into one another, the website feels dynamic and engaging from top to bottom.
We built everything in Storyblok, giving the Corda team complete flexibility to manage and shape their content with reusable components tailored to their needs.

Result
The final website succeeds in more than just sharing information - it invites people to explore, scroll, and connect with Corda Campus’ commitment to sustainability. The client loved how we turned serious topics into a visually compelling, easy-to-navigate experience.
