The brief

Brutalist archive. A made-up client, built to prove a real technique.

Read the build guide ↗

The approach

The signature is a zero-JavaScript structural grid with isometric massing drawings. The whole page is composed around that one idea, so type, palette and pacing all defer to it.

Like every study in the collection, it ships with a /guide route documenting exactly how the technique works. It also passed the same quality floor as client work: responsive to 390px, keyboard focus visible, reduced motion respected, zero console errors.

Design intent: Prove that a zero-JavaScript structural grid with isometric massing drawings can carry an entire page.
