Arch framing
Every hero image sits inside the riad's own architecture.
Arrival as a slow reveal.
A riad is experienced by stepping inside: a plain door, then a courtyard that changes everything. The concept translates that moment to the web — a site that rewards the first scroll the way a courtyard rewards the first step.
Arch geometry frames every key image, a zellige-inspired star pattern becomes a quiet texture, and a clay-and-sand palette carries warmth without cliché. Rooms, gallery and contact are always one gesture away.
