The Case

Brick Depot is the Romanian LEGO partner retailer built around creativity, play, and a strong community of fans. Since opening the first Certified LEGO Store in Romania in 2013, the brand has grown into a nationwide network of physical stores alongside a rich online offering, from complete LEGO sets to an extensive catalogue of individual bricks. The website plays a key role in this ecosystem, acting as both a webshop and a digital extension of the in-store experience, where discovery, inspiration, and ease of use are essential.

Our task wasn’t to reinvent Brick Depot’s digital presence, but to carefully modernise it,  translating an existing brand identity into a cleaner, more contemporary web UI, while respecting technical and structural boundaries already in place.

This was a focused cooperation, grounded in precision rather than ambition.

The Solution

We approached the project as a design execution and UI modernisation effort, not a conceptual redesign. The goal was to work with what existed (brand guidelines, backend rules, layout constraints) and elevate the experience through thoughtful interface design.

Our work focused on:

  • Replanning key webpage layouts
  • Modernising UI elements while preserving brand consistency
  • Executing design updates within strict technical limitations

Rather than proposing new visual concepts, we concentrated on refining and translating Brick Depot’s existing brand into a modern web interface that feels current, structured, and clear.

Why It Mattered

Not every digital project needs to be a transformation. In many organisations, especially those running on legacy systems, progress happens through incremental, well-executed improvements.

This cooperation highlighted a common reality:

  • Backend systems are not always ready for redesign revolutions
  • Design quality still matters
  • Brand consistency builds trust when translated properly into digital UI

By respecting existing rules instead of fighting them, we helped Brick Depot take a measured step forward, improving usability and visual clarity without destabilising their system.

Key Actions / Execution Highlights

  • Replanned existing webpage layouts to improve structure and hierarchy
  • Modernised UI components (typography, spacing, visual rhythm) within backend limits
  • Translated Brick Depot’s offline and brand guidelines directly into web UI decisions
  • Worked under predefined technical rules to ensure smooth implementation
  • Focused on execution quality rather than introducing new design concepts

Results

  • A visually refreshed website aligned with Brick Depot’s brand identity
  • Cleaner, more modern UI without backend refactoring
  • Improved visual consistency across key pages
