# Samara — Style Reference
> Sunlit architectural model. The design combines the precision of a blueprint with the warmth and airiness of natural light.

**Theme:** light

**Site:** https://samara.com

The design feels like an architectural plan rendered on warm, premium paper. It establishes authority through restraint, using vast negative space and a whisper-thin display font (Regola Light) for headlines, making them feel expansive and considered rather than loud. The palette is strictly controlled: a warm off-white (#fdfdf7) background, black ink for text, and a single, vibrant Sky Blue (#0096f7) for all primary actions. This creates a calm, focused environment where the product—modern, livable spaces—is the hero. Soft 12px radii on cards and buttons provide a touch of organic friendliness to the otherwise precise, geometric typography.

## Layout

The layout is built on a centered, max-width container of approximately 1280px, creating generous white space on either side. The page begins with a full-bleed hero image or a dark banner with overlaid text, transitioning to a vertical stack of content sections on the warm Parchment background. Section breaks are defined by large vertical gaps (96-120px) rather than visual dividers, creating a calm, unhurried rhythm. Content is arranged in simple, centered 1-column stacks for narrative and 2- or 3-column grids for feature breakdowns.

## Imagery

The visual language is a dichotomy of warm aspiration and clean objectivity. Product photography is dominant, featuring the homes in bright, natural, sunlit environments, often surrounded by nature to evoke a feeling of peaceful, premium living. This is contrasted with clean, isolated 3D product renders embedded directly within text blocks, which serve to explain features with technical clarity. All imagery is contained within sharp-edged containers or cards with a soft 12px radius; there are no abstract or decorative graphics.

## Guidelines

### Do

- Use `regola-light` with tight negative letter-spacing for all headlines above 30px.
- Set the primary page background to #fdfdf7 (Parchment), never pure #ffffff.
- Reserve the vibrant #0096f7 (Sky Blue) for primary interactive elements like CTAs and links.
- Apply a consistent 12px border-radius to almost all buttons, inputs, and cards.
- Employ generous whitespace (96px-120px) between major content sections.
- Use subtle, short shadows like `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.12) 0px 0.5px 2px 0px` to gently lift elements.
- Mix large, airy typography with high-quality product photography and clean 3D renders.

### Don't

- Don't use pure white (#ffffff) for large background areas.
- Don't use bold or heavy font weights for headlines; use size and light weight instead.
- Don't use sharp 0px corners on primary UI components like buttons and cards.
- Don't use a busy color palette; stick to the core Parchment/Ink/Sky Blue system.
- Don't use strong, deep, or colored shadows.
- Don't neglect typography details; specific letter-spacing and line-height values are critical.
- Don't place elements close together; the design relies on spaciousness.
