Things that move

Small motion experiments, each a candidate for somewhere on the site. They run on their own clock, pause when off-screen, and hold still for reduced-motion settings. Tell me which ones to grow up.

Open late

Neon flicker

A tube sign that buzzes and stutters. For: section headings, the 404, “open/closed” booking status.

Your debut

Curtain rise

Heavy velvet parting on a reveal. For: quiz results, launching a new page, case-study openers.

smoke & dust

Smoke & dust

Slow haze and drifting motes. The homepage uses a version of this behind the sign.

Falling petals

Crimson petals tumbling in the dark. For: the Petal tier, thank-you screens, transitions.

Step into the light.

Follow spot

A spotlight that follows your cursor (and wanders on its own on phones). For: the hero or the Playbill.

Gold line rose

A rose drawn in one slow gold stroke, then erased. For: loading states, section dividers, the Rose tier.

Knock, if you’d like to come in.

The peephole

Knock, the slat slides open, someone peers out. For: the discovery-call button, or a secret “after hours” page with a password.

Now showingYOU

Marquee bulbs

Chasing bulbs around a letterboard. For: announcements, new Garden openings, launch dates.

Wax seal

A seal pressed onto ivory paper. For: confirmations (“your reservation is sealed”), agreements, invoices.

Candlelight

A small living flame. For: the After Hours room, the Journal, quiet moments.

Pick your rose.

Pick your rose Concept

Four kinds of ongoing support, each its own rose. The chosen one blooms. Could become the Rose tier’s interactive menu.

Build a bouquet Concept

Tap stems to add them. Every bouquet is different, which is the point.
