For a practice that would rather show the drawing.
The twenty-fourth Quaeris Design release. An architecture and interiors practice carrying a project portfolio, eight services, a material library, a five-stage process, published fees, a careers page and a journal with people and categories — twenty-three indexable routes, with the whole demo live and open to inspection.
Every figure came from astro-design-strata-studio.pages.dev. Open it and check.

A visual direction for an architecture and interiors practice that would rather show the drawing than describe it. Near-black ink chapters alternate with warm ivory paper, Bricolage Grotesque set heavy and tight for the headlines, Inter for reading and Playfair Display italic for one word at a time, with a single clay accent kept for small marks. The one decision is to lay the site out like a drawing sheet: guide lines run the full height of every page, a running chapter index counts the sections in the left margin, and the floating nav and the guides invert between light and dark as each chapter scrolls past.
Every route below is generated at build and served as a static file.
Four guide lines run the full height of every page, behind the content, as structure rather than decoration. Every section is a numbered chapter, and a running index in the left margin reads the chapter in view and shows its number out of the total — 03 / 07 — like a sheet in a drawing set. A page whose sections carry no chapter name simply goes without it.
Chapters alternate between near-black ink and warm ivory paper, and each one declares its surface. As you scroll, the floating pill nav and the guide lines read that flag and invert to stay legible over whichever chapter is underneath. Every page then ends on the same closing chapter: a two-line headline with one word in Playfair italic over a faint clay wash.
Clay is the small square before each eyebrow, the focus ring, the underline under links in the prose and the rule beside a blockquote — and very little else. The journal categories have colours of their own, but they are desaturated into the same muted family, so a topic reads as a label rather than a second accent.
Identity, contact form, analytics and newsletter each live in one file under src/config. Out of the box the theme ships no third-party script, sets no cookie and needs no account: the form uses mailto, analytics and the newsletter are off. A provider chosen without its key falls back with a warning in the build instead of shipping broken.
A good-looking screenshot is the beginning. The details help you choose.
Every release lists its page set, from the homepage to the article, author and category templates your project actually needs.
