Internal reference

Design System.

A measured inventory of the colors, type styles, spacing, components and motion that make up the Korda site. Everything on this page was read off the live project, so it describes what the site actually does rather than what it was meant to do.

Who this is for

Agents building new sections or pages in this project. Read the instruction box inside each section before you start. Treat the values here as the source of truth — reuse an existing token, style or component rather than inventing a close equivalent. If something you need is not documented, extend the nearest existing pattern and say so.

01

Color.

Seventeen tokens, all neutral. Ten opaque steps carry the light surfaces and text; seven white alpha steps handle everything that sits on a dark surface or over an image.

For agents

Only use the seventeen tokens below, and always reference the token rather than pasting a hex value. Neutral 00 is the default background — switch a section to Neutral 02 only when you need to band it against the light section next to it. On a dark section use Neutral 09 as the background and the White steps for text, borders and icons on top of it; never reach for a Neutral step there. Do not introduce a new color or an accent hue, the palette is deliberately neutral.

02

Typography.

One family, Inter, across eighteen styles. Sizes step down at the 1200px and 810px breakpoints; line height, letter spacing and weight stay fixed.

For agents

Always set a text style preset on a text node — never type a raw font size, weight or letter spacing onto it, because the preset already owns those properties and will refuse the override. Headings 1 to 6 are for canvas layout; the Rich Content styles are reserved for CMS rich text fields. Body (Light) is the muted body variant, Body S is the small/meta variant, and Label is the uppercase style used for eyebrows and button text. Pick the style whose role matches, not the one whose size looks right.

Korda

Reading the sizes

Every size is written Desktop / Tablet / Phone, matching the 1200px and 810px breakpoints. Heading 1 has one extra step above them: it grows to 80px once the viewport passes 1680px.

03

Shape and surface.

The site is square. Nothing is rounded except true circles, borders are always a single hairline, and every card is built from the same small set of paddings.

For agents

Build new cards, buttons and inputs from the values below rather than measuring them off a screenshot. Keep radius at 0 unless the element is a genuine circle, keep every border at 1px solid, and reuse an existing padding instead of inventing a new one. Two values in the project look like rules but are not: a 1px radius inside the form button spinner, and a 1px dashed White 20% border paired with 10px padding that appears on roughly forty nodes. Both are Framer defaults left on unstyled placeholders — never copy either into new work.

Corner radius

0px

Everything

Cards, buttons, inputs, images, sections and thumbnails are all square. This is the default and it is not negotiable.

100px

True circles only

Icon buttons, social logos and the 4px dot separators in a project item.

1px

Do not use

Appears only inside the form button loading spinner. It is an artefact of how the spinner is drawn.

Padding

Card surface

12px

Press Article, Contact Card and Profile all pad their outer surface by 12px on all four sides.

Card text block

8px or 4px

The text block nested inside a card. 8px for a standard card, 4px for a tight one.

Button

12px 16px

Basic/Button. Horizontal padding is always present, never padding on the vertical axis alone.

Icon button

4px to 8px

Paired with radius 100px. 4px around a small icon, 6px for a service icon, 8px for a 48px social logo.

Form field

12px 0px

Fields are underline-only, so they take vertical padding and sit flush to the left edge.

Section

See Container

Vertical only. Horizontal breathing room belongs to the container, never to the section.

Borders

Resting on light

1px solid Neutral 04

The default edge for buttons, dividers and separator rules.

Active on light

1px solid Neutral 09

Applied on hover and on the active state of a button or tab.

On dark

1px solid White 20%

Use a White step on dark surfaces, never a Neutral step.

Everything else

Not used

No 2px borders, no dashed or dotted strokes, no border radius on a stroked element.

Surfaces

Page and section

Neutral 00

The default. Band a section with Neutral 02 when two light sections sit next to each other.

Card on light

Neutral 02 or Neutral 03

One step darker than the surface it sits on, with no border.

Card on dark

Neutral 08

Sits on a Neutral 09 section, separated by tone rather than a stroke.

Dark section

Neutral 09

Used for the navigation panel and the contact section.

Square and circle, side by side

Category

04

Container.

Every page is the same three layers deep: a full-bleed section, a centred container that caps the content at 1600px, and the content itself. The section owns the vertical rhythm and the background; the container owns the side gutter and the width.

For agents

Build every new section with this structure and nothing else. The section is a direct child of the breakpoint, spans the full width, carries the background fill and takes vertical padding only. The container is its single child, sets maxWidth 1600px, width 1fr and horizontal padding only. Never put a maxWidth on a section that has a visible background, or the background will stop short of the viewport edge on a wide screen. Never give a section horizontal padding as a substitute for the container. Pick 128px as the vertical padding unless the section is a spacer or an edge-to-edge image, in which case use the tight value.

The three layers

Section — htmlTag section, width 1fr, fill, vertical padding only

Container — width 1fr, maxWidth 1600px, horizontal padding only

Content — headers, grids, lists, component instances

05

Motion and effects.

There is really only one animation on this site: content fades in as it enters the viewport. No movement, no scale, no rotation. Everything else is a layout transition or a hover state using the same spring.

For agents

Give each major content block in a new section the reveal described below, and nothing else. Stagger siblings by 0.1s and stop at 0.3s — four steps is the whole ladder. Do not add a y offset, a scale or a rotation; below the hero this site reveals by opacity alone, and adding movement will immediately read as foreign. Leave replay off so a block animates once. The hero animations on the home and about pages are deliberate one-offs with their own offsets and spring values; treat them as bespoke and do not copy them into a new section. This design system page itself is static and carries no appear effects.

The reveal

Trigger

On In View

Used for any block sitting in normal page flow.

Trigger, alternate

On Scroll Target

Used only for blocks inside a scroll-driven or pinned area.

Threshold

0.5

The block animates once half of it is visible.

Replay

Off

The reveal runs once and does not repeat on scroll back.

Enter opacity

0

The only property that animates.

Enter transform

None

x 0, y 0, scale 1, rotate 0. Leave every transform at rest.

Transition

Spring, physics — 200 / 30 / 1

Stiffness 200, damping 30, mass 1.

Delay ladder

0s · 0.1s · 0.2s · 0.3s

Apply in document order to sibling blocks inside one section.

Other motion

Set as the flow effect on sections and on any list that filters or reorders, such as the project tabs.

State transition

Spring, physics — 200 / 30 / 1, 0s

The transition between component variants, including button and tab hover.

Hover on a button

06

Writing style and tone.

American English, written plainly and in the present tense. Titles follow a strict two-tier rule: page titles are Title Case, section titles are sentence case, and both end in a full stop.

For agents

Match the tier before you write. A page title is the one h1 on the page and takes Title Case with a full stop; every section title below it is an h2 in sentence case with a full stop. Type eyebrows, labels and button text in ordinary sentence case and let the Label style render them uppercase — never type in capitals yourself, or the text will be double-cased in search results and screen readers. Use the curly apostrophe and curly quotes. Keep claims concrete and tied to a place, a year or a number, and stay inside the length ranges below so new copy sets on the same number of lines as the copy around it.

Casing by tier

Page title · h1

Title Case, full stop

“Our Story.” · “Selected Projects.” One per page, set in Heading 1.

Section title · h2

Sentence case, full stop

“A decade of work, recognized.” · “More from the studio.” · “Korda in the spotlight.”

Sub-heading · h3–h6

Sentence case

Used for long-form ledes and for sub-points inside a section.

Eyebrow and label

Sentence case in the canvas

Rendered uppercase by Misc./Label. “In the press” renders IN THE PRESS.

Button

Sentence case in the canvas

Also rendered uppercase. “Back to home” renders BACK TO HOME.

Body

Sentence case, full stops

Standard prose. No sentence fragments as paragraphs.

Voice

Spelling

American English

“recognized”, not “recognised”. Keep it consistent across the whole page.

Person

We for the studio, Korda for the brand

“We’re a small team with a big range of perspective.” · “Korda Studio is a full-service interior design practice.”

Serial comma

Used

“designed, renovated, and transformed.”

Punctuation

Curly apostrophes and quotes

’ and “ ”, never the straight typewriter forms.

Tone

Plain, concrete, unhurried

Anchor a claim to a place, a year or a number. Avoid superlatives and industry filler.

Never

No exclamation marks, questions as headlines, or emoji

The site has none. Adding one will stand out immediately.

Length

Page title

2 to 3 words

Short enough to sit on one line at every breakpoint.

Section title

3 to 6 words

One line. Use textWrap balance so it never leaves a single word on line two.

Lede under a page title

One sentence, 10 to 18 words

Set in Body (Medium). “A curated look at the spaces Korda has designed, renovated, and transformed.”

Long intro paragraph

2 to 3 sentences

Set in Heading 4 or Heading 5 as oversized prose. At most one per page.

Supporting paragraph

1 to 2 sentences

Set in Body or Body (Light), capped at 800px so the measure stays readable.

Eyebrow or label

1 to 4 words

“In the press”, “Based in New York”, “Since 2008”.

07

Components.

Fifteen components carry the whole site. Each one is shown below as a live instance, so what you see here is what will appear on a page.

For agents

Always build from this list. If a pattern you need already exists here, instance it — do not rebuild it by hand on the canvas, because the project keeps one source of truth per element. If nothing fits, extend the closest component with a new variant before creating a new component, and name it into an existing folder. Where a component ships Tablet, Mobile or Touch Device variants, set the matching variant on each breakpoint instead of resizing the Desktop one. Navigation and Footer Section are already mounted by the layout template on every page, so only instance them again when you are deliberately building outside the template.

Basic/Navigation

08

Imagery.

The static image library used across the site. Project photography lives in the CMS and changes with content, so it is not shown here.

For agents

Source new photography that could sit inside this grid without standing out: real interiors and architecture, natural light, muted and desaturated, no posed people and no strong color cast. Crop to the aspect ratio the layout needs rather than letterboxing, and keep images square-cornered like everything else. Never set copy on top of an image — the site always places text beside or beneath the photo. For anything project-related, pull the image from the Projects collection instead of uploading a static file.

09

Section patterns.

Across six page types the site reuses ten section shapes. Each one is defined by its vertical padding, its fill, and what the container holds. Building a new section means picking the closest shape here, not starting from an empty frame.

For agents

Pick a pattern first, then fill it. Vertical rhythm is the thing most likely to give a new section away, so keep to the alternation the site already uses: a tight 40px band sits directly beside a standard 128px band, and two standard bands never run back to back without a change of fill. Inside the container, a section header is always a Label eyebrow followed by a Heading 2, left aligned, in that order — Heading 1 is reserved for the page header and appears once per page. When two light sections meet, band the second one with Neutral 02 rather than adding a border between them.

The ten shapes

Page header

168px 0px 0px · Neutral 00

Opens every page below the navigation. Container holds a heading block: h1 plus a one-sentence lede. On the projects page it closes at 64px because a filter row follows.

Hero, full bleed

No padding · Neutral 09

Background image behind a container, followed by a matching Hero Placeholder spacer. Only the home page and the project detail page use it, and both are bespoke.

Hero, full height

128px 0px 96px · 85vh · Neutral 09

Opens a CMS detail page. The item’s Thumbnail sits behind the container as a full-bleed layer and the section is held at 85vh, so the hero fills most of the first screen whatever the headline length.

Image band

40px 0px · Neutral 00

One or two images spanning the container. Used to break up a run of text sections.

Content band

128px 0px · Neutral 00

The workhorse. Container holds a header block, then a list, grid or set of component instances.

Banded content

128px 0px · Neutral 02

Identical to the content band but tinted, so two light sections do not run into each other.

List section

40px 0px 128px · Neutral 00

Starts tight because a filter row sits above it, then closes with the full standard padding.

Closing section

128px 0px · Neutral 00

A Heading 2 and a related list at the end of a detail page, such as “More from the studio.”

Divider

No padding · Neutral 02

A bare filled frame with no container, separating a project body from the section that closes the page.

Contact

Component · Neutral 09

The Contact Section component dropped in whole. It brings its own 128px padding and dark fill.

Ordering rules

First section

Page header or hero

Never start a page with a content band — there would be no h1.

Tight next to standard

Always

A 40px band pairs with the 128px band beside it. Two tight bands only ever meet around an image.

Changing fill

Neutral 02 or Neutral 09

Use a fill change, not a border, to separate two adjacent sections.

Section header order

Label, then Heading 2

Eyebrow first, title second, both aligned to the container’s left edge.

Last section

Contact, then footer

The footer arrives from the layout template, so the last section you build is usually Contact.

10

Content model.

Four collections drive everything dynamic on the site. Projects holds the work and Project Type holds the filter categories the projects page runs on; Articles holds the writing and Article Category holds the filter categories the articles page runs on.

For agents

Render anything list-like from a collection, never as hand-placed copies on the canvas. If you need a grid or a list of projects, use a collection list bound to Projects and let it repeat; if you need a filter, bind a collection reference variable on the page to Project Type exactly as the projects page does. The articles pages work the same way: a collection list bound to Articles, filtered by a collection reference to Article Category. Do not add a field to a collection to solve a layout problem — check whether an existing field already carries the value. Thumbnail Type is the switch that decides whether a card shows Image Thumbnail or Video Thumbnail, so read it before you bind either one.

Page scaffold.

Every page in this project is wrapped in one layout template, so a new page starts with a navigation, smooth scroll and footer already in place. What you build goes into the slot between them.

For agents

Create the page, leave the layout template set to the default, and build only the sections that belong in the slot — the navigation, smooth scroll and footer are already there and adding a second copy of any of them will break the page. Set the two page-level controls before you start: the navigation text colour and the footer theme. The two are independent of each other. Navigation text colour follows the page’s first section: Neutral 00 where the page opens on a dark hero, Neutral 09 where it opens light. The footer theme is a separate choice, and Dark is the house default — seven of the nine pages use it, including pages whose navigation is Neutral 09. Build the Desktop breakpoint completely before touching Tablet and Phone, then adjust only padding, column counts and component variants at the smaller sizes — never restructure.

What the template already provides

Navigation

Basic/Navigation

Sits at the top of every page. Its text colour is controlled per page, not inside the component.

Smooth Scroll

Sits below the slot. Its light or dark theme is chosen per page.

Badge

Lunis Badge

The template credit. Leave it alone.

Page-level controls

Navigation text colour

Neutral 00 or Neutral 09

Set on the page, not on the navigation instance. Match the page’s first section: Neutral 00 on the home page, project detail and article detail, which all open on a dark hero; Neutral 09 everywhere else.

Footer Desktop

Light Desktop or Dark Desktop

Independent of the navigation colour. Dark is the house default — only the home and about pages use Light.

Footer Tablet

Light Tablet or Dark Tablet

Same theme as Desktop.

Footer Mobile

Light Mobile or Dark Mobile

Same theme as Desktop.

Layout template

Default

Leave it. Every page in the project uses the same one.

Build order

1

Create the page and set its path

Use a lowercase, hyphenated path. A CMS detail page takes :CollectionName as its slug segment.

2

Set the page controls

Navigation text colour to match the first section you are about to build, then the three footer variants — all three on the same theme, Dark unless there is a reason not to.

3

Prepare the Desktop breakpoint

It is a vertical stack with auto height. Sections go straight into it as direct children.

4

Build sections top to bottom

Section, then container, then content — one pattern from section 09 at a time.

5

Add the reveal

The fade from section 05, staggered 0.1s across sibling blocks.

6

Add Tablet and Phone

Adjust padding, column counts and component variants only. Do not restructure the tree.

7

Check against this page

Palette, type styles, spacing values, component usage and copy tier, in that order.
