What is Bureau347?

Updated

Bureau347 is a digital design studio that turns products and services into user experiences. Its own description is direct: "We design your products into outstanding user experiences." If you are trying to work out whether it fits a project, the useful signal is the type of work it shows and the services attached to it — design, information architecture, front-end development, and CMS development — rather than any stated pricing, team size, or location, none of which appear on the page.

What Bureau347 does

The studio positions itself around a short set of ideas it repeats across its site: "Design. Simple. Clever. Digital. Products." In practice, that means taking an existing product or service and reworking how people move through it, rather than only producing visual assets.

The services named on the site are:

  • Design — the visual and interaction layer
  • Information Architecture — how content is structured and grouped
  • Front-end Development — building the interface that users actually see and use
  • CMS Development — the content management system behind the site

That combination suggests a studio that can take a project from structure through to a working, editable site, not just a set of screens.

The kind of work it shows

The site presents a portfolio ("Work") with numbered entries, and one case is described in enough detail to understand the studio's approach.

Behind the Numbers (2016) was a temporary exhibition about the history of the recently vacated Brussels Stock Exchange and the stock markets. When the physical exhibition closed to the public in 2016, Bureau347 built an "online gallery experience" to replace it.

The client is listed as TreeTop Asset Management, and the project type as a post-exhibition website. The studio's stated proposal was to replace the original exhibition website with one built on the exhibition content itself, designed to be "educational, informative and a joy to navigate." The goal was to make a large body of content easy to find and browse, and to keep it useful long after the exhibition had ended.

That case is a good illustration of the studio's stated focus: the deliverable was not a marketing page but a durable, browsable resource, with the content structure treated as the core design problem.

How to judge whether it fits your project

Because the site does not publish pricing, team details, or a client list beyond the portfolio, the practical way to evaluate Bureau347 is against the shape of your own project.

If your project is… Bureau347's shown profile suggests…
A content-heavy site or archive that must stay useful over time A close match — the Behind the Numbers case is exactly this
A product or service needing interface and interaction design Relevant — design and front-end development are named services
A site you need to edit yourself after launch Relevant — CMS development is a named service
A short-lived campaign page with no content structure Less clearly matched by the work shown
A project requiring published rates or a fixed public price list You will need to ask directly; no pricing is listed

The clearest next step is to look through the full "Work" section on the site and check whether the projects there resemble yours in content volume and lifespan. If they do, the services listed — design, information architecture, front-end development, CMS development — cover the typical path from structure to a live, editable site.
