Harvard University Radcliffe Quadrangle

Harvard University
Cambridge, Massachusetts

This project included the renovation and new construction of nine residential halls on the Radcliffe Quadrangle. The challenge was to unify Pforzheimer and Cabot Houses internally and externally, spatially and functionally, providing each house with the public space and collaborative suite living that contributes so much to Harvard’s residential life. The existing buildings consisted of typical double-loaded corridors with single and double rooms with shared toilet facilities. Reconfiguration of the Houses allowed contemporary suite-style units to be integrated into the unique conditions of each building.

Before & After Images

*Update January 2023
We made fixes to all mobile and safari browsers and you should no longer experience issues with those. Thanks!

Overview‍
Building an image comparison section in Webflow doesn't need to be difficult, and it shouldn't cost you time or money...

Here's a simple solution, we built ontop of the awesome js work from @pehaa.

We've tried to make this really accessible for all users, so what's important here is <Image Wrapper> and the two images inside of it, namely <Image One> and of course <Image Two>. We recommend you size your two images the same, although it will work regardless.

Use <Image Wrapper> to set your maximum width, and copy the code from page settings. That's it, when you publish the page the magic will happen.
