Quiet luxury, online.
A portfolio site for an interiors studio — photography-forward, editorial, and as restrained as the rooms it shows — on a custom WordPress block theme.
southharlow.com — the homepage
A site as refined as the work.
A high-end interiors studio needed a portfolio as considered as their rooms — photography-forward, editorial, and quietly luxurious. Anything off-the-shelf would undercut the work; the site had to disappear and let the spaces speak.
Restraint, built to last.
A bespoke block theme with a tight type and color system — every choice made to let the photography carry the page.
