Velar. — Luxury Real Estate Landing Page

Produce a single-page, cinematic luxury real-estate landing page. A complete, rendered reference implementation ships beside this skill at example.html — start from it. Copy example.html, then adjust copy and data; do not rewrite the choreography or invent a new visual language. The seed already encodes the exact tokens, preloader typewriter, scroll-driven house animation, sticky dark stats band, count-up, and hover-expand gallery described below.

This is the authoritative build brief. Follow it exactly — the named colors, fonts, timings, image URLs, and the scroll-math are locked.

Inlined image (critical): example.html ships the building/house silhouette (HOUSE_IMG, originally res.cloudinary.com/.../building_bzziky.png) as an inlined data:image/webp;base64,… URI — keep it exactly as-is. The 5 cloudfront gallery .mp4 videos and the BG_IMG higgs.ai hero background stay as remote URLs (large stable CDNs); the cloudinary host is the one to inline because it is the load-bearing, repeatedly-scaled centerpiece asset.

Stack

• Default output: a single self-contained HTML file (the example.html seed) using vanilla CSS + JS. It already includes everything inline.
• If the user explicitly asks for the React project: port the seed faithfully to React 18 + TypeScript + Vite + Tailwind CSS with only lucide-react for icons (the hamburger→X). All animation logic lives in a single src/App.tsx using useState, useEffect, useRef, useCallback, and IntersectionObserver. No other libraries. Do not change the design while porting.

Global setup — locked

• Page background #f5f0ea (warm off-white). Body wrapper overflow-x: clip.
• Fonts via @import in an inline <style>: Syne (400, 700, 800, 900) + Inter (300, 400, 500, 600) from Google Fonts.
• Constants: GRASS_GREEN = '#213138' (preloader bg + default logo color), FULL_TEXT = 'Velar.', HOUSE_IMG (inlined data URI in the seed), BG_IMG (higgs.ai hero bg), and the 5 cloudfront gallery videos (in order — keep them).

Section 1 — Preloader / intro overlay

Fixed full-viewport overlay (z-index:100, bg #213138, centered flex). Typewriter of Velar. in Syne 2.6rem, white, letter-spacing:-0.02em; letters weight 700 except . weight 900. Blinking white cursor (3px × 1.1em rounded bar, blink 0.7s step-end infinite, opacity 0↔1) follows the last typed letter.

Timings (setTimeout): CHAR_INTERVAL=140ms, TYPE_START=600ms. Reveal letter i at TYPE_START + i*CHAR_INTERVAL. LIFT_AT = TYPE_START + 6*CHAR_INTERVAL + 700. Hide cursor at LIFT_AT-150. At LIFT_AT, lift overlay translateY(-100%) with transform 1.5s cubic-bezier(0.45,0,0.15,1) AND trigger the house rise. At LIFT_AT+1300, fade in hero text (opacity 0→1, translateY(-28px)→0, 0.7s cubic-bezier(0.22,1,0.36,1) 0.1s). At LIFT_AT+2100, set liftDone, disable overlay transition (parked off-screen), and hand house control to the scroll handler.

Section 2 — Fixed nav

Fixed top nav z-50, padding px-6 md:px-10 lg:px-16, py-5 md:py-6, flex justify-between. Left: Velar. in Syne text-xl, weight 700 letters / 900 dot, color = navColor. Right: hamburger — two stacked 28px×1px lines, top shrinks to w-5 on hover; when open swaps to Lucide X (size 24).

Scroll behavior: if any dark section (Section 5 dark band + Section 6 gallery) overlaps the viewport top (rect.top <= 0 && rect.bottom > 0), navColor = '#ffffff', else '#213138'. Transition color 0.35s ease.

Mobile menu: full-screen #f5f0ea overlay (z-40), centered, 4 stacked links — Residences, Story, Listings, Inquire — Syne text-4xl, font-light, tracking-widest, uppercase, black, hover text-gray-500. Click closes.

Section 3 — Hero

<section> position:relative; min-height:100vh; overflow:visible, BG_IMG as cover/center background. Hero text block z-index:10, hidden initially, fades+slides in per preloader timing.

• Top row .hero-heading-top (px-6 md:px-10 lg:px-16, flex items-end justify-between, margin-bottom:-0.04em): left LIVE IN (.hero-own-the, Syne 800, uppercase, black, letter-spacing:-0.03em, line-height:1); right desktop-only .hero-subtitle-desktop (Syne 700, clamp(10px,0.95vw,14px), max-width 300, opacity 0.7, right-aligned): "Stately homes built with vision, / scope, and architectural finesse."
• Headline row (wrapped in overflow:hidden): IRREPLACEABLE (.hero-extraordinary, Syne 800, uppercase, black, letter-spacing:-0.03em, px-6 md:px-10 lg:px-16).
• .hero-subtitle-mobile (px-6, Syne 600, clamp(12px,3vw,15px), opacity 0.65, margin-top:0.9em): "Premium real estate with vision, / depth, and architectural clarity."

Responsive type sizes are locked — copy the three @media blocks verbatim from the seed (<=639, 640–1023, >=1024); they swap desktop/mobile subtitles, set padding-top, and size .hero-own-the / .hero-extraordinary.

Section 4 — Scroll-driven house animation (centerpiece)

position:fixed wrapper z-index:22, pointer-events:none, will-change:transform, default bottom:0; left:50%; transform:translateX(-50%); width:100%; min-width:1400px. Inner div entrance: starts translateY(102vh), transitions to translateY(0) via transform 1.5s cubic-bezier(0.45,0,0.15,1) 0.4s when lifting becomes true; once liftDone the transition is removed so the scroll handler takes over. Renders HOUSE_IMG at width:100%, aria-hidden.

After liftDone, updateHousePosition (scroll+resize) computes — locked math:

• baseW = max(innerWidth, 1400).
• triggerPoint = -(heroH * 0.30); endPoint = heroRect.top - (darkRect.bottom - vh); progress = clamp((heroRect.top - triggerPoint)/(endPoint - triggerPoint), 0, 1).
• t = smoothstep(smoothstep(progress)), smoothstep(x)=x*x*(3-2x) applied twice.
• startX=(vw-baseW)/2, startY=vh-imgH; finalScale=1.45, finalX=(vw-baseW*finalScale)/2, mobileOffset = vw<1024 ? -250 : 4, finalY = darkRect.bottom - imgH*finalScale + 500 + mobileOffset.
• Interpolate currentX/Y/Scale linearly via t.
• progress <= 0 → reset to resting (bottom-centered, scale 1). Else top:0; left:0; transform: translate(currentX,currentY) scale(currentScale); transform-origin: top left.

Section 5 — Dark statement + stats (sticky)

Outer position:relative; height:200vh; z-index:20. A 4vh #1a1a1a spacer, then inner .s2-section position:sticky; top:0; height:100vh; background:#1a1a1a; overflow:hidden. Content .s2-content flex column, px-6 md:px-10 lg:px-16, padding-top:clamp(30px,4vw,60px), padding-bottom:clamp(60px,8vw,120px).

• .s2-statement (Inter 300, #e8e4df, letter-spacing:-0.02em, line-height:1.35, white-space:nowrap, clamp(22px,2.6vw,42px)); wrapper max-width:1200px, centered, padding-left:25%. Four hard-broken lines: "Every estate we present is hand-chosen / through a frame of permanence, refinement, / and timeless detail. Standards are not / a flourish. It is our discipline."
• .s2-stats-row (same max-width/centered/padding-left:25%, margin-top:clamp(48px,6vw,80px)): 3 flex columns, flex:1, left border 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.2) between items, padding-left:clamp(20px,2.5vw,40px) on items 2–3:

1. 120+ — Portfolio Holdings
2. 12 — Global Locations
3. 98% — Patron Loyalty Rate

• Numbers: Inter 300, white, clamp(36px,4.5vw,72px), line-height:1.1. CountUp: when the element first crosses 30% into viewport (IntersectionObserver), animate 0→end over 2000ms, easing 1-(1-t)^3, render Math.round(eased*end)+suffix.
• Labels: Inter 400, rgba(255,255,255,0.6), clamp(12px,1.1vw,16px), margin-top:clamp(4px,0.5vw,8px), letter-spacing:0.01em.
• <=767px: drop the 25% left padding to 0. 768–1023px: padding-left 15%, min-height:70vh.

Section 6 — Hover-expand gallery (slides over Section 5)

.s3-gallery-section position:relative; z-index:25; margin-top:-100vh; background:#1a1a1a; height:100vh; overflow:hidden — the negative margin + higher z slides it up over the sticky dark section. Background ticker .s3-ticker-wrap (inset:0, flex center, overflow:hidden, z-index:0, pointer-events:none) with .ticker-track of two copies of a giant repeating Velar. word-mark; each span Syne 800, clamp(100px,14vw,220px), white, low opacity, white-space:nowrap, letter-spacing:-0.02em, user-select:none, padding-right:0.3em.

Gallery content .s3-gallery-content (z-index:1, flex center, full height, clamp(24px,4vw,60px)). Row .gallery-expand-row (flex, gap:6px, height 70%, max-width 1200px). Each .gallery-expand-item (flex:1 1 0%, full height, border-radius:12px, overflow:hidden, cursor:pointer, transition: flex 0.5s cubic-bezier(0.4,0,0.2,1)) holds its video (autoplay, loop, muted, playsInline, object-fit:cover). On hover the hovered item grows to flex:4, others shrink (accordion expand).

<=1023px: copy the mobile grid rules verbatim from the seed — s3-gallery-section becomes height:auto; min-height:100vh; overflow:visible; ticker becomes sticky; row becomes a 1fr 1fr grid with aspect-ratio:4/5 items and a centered full-width last-odd item; <=479px tightens padding/gap.

Tech notes

• Only react, react-dom, lucide-react, Tailwind, Vite. No other libraries.
• All animation logic in a single App.tsx. Use Supabase only if persistence is later needed; this page has no data layer.

Color Rules — hard

Warm off-white #f5f0ea page; deep teal #213138 for preloader + default logo; dark #1a1a1a for the statement/gallery sections; statement text #e8e4df; hero text black. Do not introduce other accent hues — the palette is intentionally monochromatic-luxury.
