DEV3 Technologies · own product
Our own WordPress theme for architecture and interior design studios: a scroll-driven three.js massing model that draws, builds, takes materials and runs a sun-path study, a filterable projects portfolio and a WooCommerce shop, all editable in Elementor.

Blueprint 3D hero — a glowing wireframe building drawn on a dark site plan beside the Buildings that begin with a line headline.
Architects judge a website the way they judge a drawing: proportion, restraint and whether the details are right. Most architecture themes are a full-bleed image slider and a grid of thumbnails, which says little about how a practice thinks. We wanted the home page to show the design process itself (line, volume, material, light) in a way that feels like an architect's model rather than a game, while the portfolio stays structured content with real project facts, and the whole site stays quick to edit for a small studio.
We built Monolith as a classic PHP theme with theme.json, on a shared DEV3 theme core and the DEV3 Theme Toolkit plugin that powers all nine DEV3 themes.
data-ml-projects="typology:housing" and offers typology filters and a grid or index view; project pages get a facts table from the project fields.Monolith ships as a complete theme with a one-click demo: 8 project pages and 4 service pages built in Elementor, 8 studio members, 4 sample-badged client quotes, 6 journal posts, 12 WooCommerce products with 3D views and 3 forms, plus 26 block patterns and a child theme.
It passes the suite's quality gates: php -l and phpcs (WordPress Coding Standards 3 and PHPCompatibilityWP 7.4+) with zero errors, the Theme Check plugin, the engine size budget (about 208 KB gzip, with both presets in a 15 KB lazy chunk), an automated WooCommerce run from add to cart to the order-received page, and an Elementor editor test where changing a control updates the live scene. Desktop GPUs hold 60 fps on every demo page.
Monolith is available on the DEV3 marketplace.

WooCommerce's Shop, Cart and Checkout pages are reused rather than duplicated.
Download the new version from Account → Downloads on dev3.tech and upload dev3-monolith.zip again. Your changes in the child theme are kept.
Open the home page with Edit with Elementor. It has one 3D Scene widget with the preset Monolith: massing model in Fixed background mode, followed by six chapter containers: Drawing, Massing, Material, Light, Section and Dusk.

Fill in Location, Year, Area, Status, Client, Team, Credits and the 3D model design (ridge, tower, pavilion, housing or library), and set the category to the project's typology.
Place the project index with an Elementor HTML widget or a Custom HTML block:

Services and Studio members are post types; show them with the Post Type Grid and Team widgets. Awards are a table in an HTML widget, press uses the Hover-Reveal List, and careers pair a list of roles with the Contact Form 7 Careers application form.
Monolith Options covers the logo, colours, fonts, header style, 3D quality or off, loader, smooth scroll, chapter rail and WooCommerce options. Monolith: studio & projects holds the phone, email, address, hours, enquiry link, the default project index view, the faint column grid behind pages and the sun study caption.
Products use the Monolith: shop object studio 3D preset (book, framed print, lamp, vessel, stool, card model, bookends, candle holders). Add variation swatches for cover, frame, finish or timber; they recolour the 3D object live.
