What it does

A small studio wordmark anchors the upper left while stacked practice links occupy a low left column. A broad architectural-practice statement and large interior photograph fill the right column, making the project image the primary introduction.

Section roster

1. Small studio identity. 2. Left-column practice navigation. 3. Architectural statement. 4. Large interior project photograph.

Why it works

The asymmetry keeps navigation accessible without stealing space from the architecture. A plain typographic statement and one generous photograph give the practice a clear editorial introduction.

Source and capture notes

Refero [style page](https://styles.refero.design/style/7fdcf5eb-4d65-49a2-b887-60119bca4edc) and [recorded video](https://images.refero.design/styles/refero.design/video/968f2ec0-3bb8-482b-97b9-e5370515e461.mp4); [live site](https://spacelab.co.uk/) checked on 2026-10-05. The recording is a point-in-time reference; current site content may differ. Descriptions distinguish the recording from the current page where they differ. Layout and motion notes come from sampled recording frames and automated live captures; interactive controls were not comprehensively tested. The recorded reference covers the opening architecture introduction rather than a full case-study journey.
