the challenge

WHAT WE STARTED WITH

Lumière needed a site that felt like a gallery, not a template. Their old WordPress build flattened every image and buried the booking flow three clicks deep.

the approach

HOW WE BUILT IT

Full-bleed editorial layout with a quiet, monochrome system. Custom serif/grotesk pairing, a sticky inquiry rail, and a lazy-loaded gallery engine for sub-1.5s LCP on mobile.
