Westlake Studios

Where Thriller Was Made

Westlake Notable Recordings coverflow slider of album covers

Westlake Recording Studios has been a Los Angeles landmark since the early 1970s. It’s where Michael Jackson recorded Thriller, and where artists from Van Halen and Stevie Wonder to Beyoncé, SZA and Tyler, The Creator have made records since.

I designed and developed the site end to end in Webflow and built it around the rooms themselves. Every studio gets a full-bleed photo gallery and tabs for gear, floor plans and a virtual tour. The homepage centerpiece is a custom 3D coverflow slider that turns 50 years of album credits into something you can flip through like a crate of records. The palette comes straight from the studios: warm wood, low light and gold-record gold.
