Bauhaus Requirements Document

Bauhaus strips a requirements document down to its working parts: primary colour, plain geometry, and type set square to the grid. Nothing about it is decorative for its own sake. The mood is bold and modern, closer to a manifesto than a memo, with confidence built into every rule and block rather than added afterwards.

The page reads as a composition of shapes before it reads as text: solid blocks of colour anchor each section, circles and triangles stand in for ornament, and headings punch out white against a filled block instead of floating on plain paper. A no-nonsense sans carries the whole thing, set on a disciplined grid that keeps the eye moving in straight, deliberate lines.

It suits brands with something new to say and no patience for fuss, particularly startups, product companies and studios who want their requirements documents to look designed rather than assembled. Reach for it when the content itself is confident enough to carry bold colour without getting lost underneath it.

The trick with Bauhaus is restraint inside boldness: two or three colours, one grid, and every element earning its place on the page. As a requirements document it holds up well precisely because the structure does the persuading, leaving very little room for a stray element to undercut the whole composition.

What's shown here is one version of it, built to demonstrate the system rather than sell it. Generate your own requirements document and Waxe builds the same geometry around your brand: your colours, your type, your logo, your content, delivered ready to export.
