Carolyne Roehm's work — books, gardens, interiors, tabletop design — is photographed at a scale and quality that most websites of the era simply cropped away. The brief for her site was to refuse that compromise: an interface where the photography is the layout, presented as large as each screen would allow, from phone to desktop, back when responsive design was a discipline rather than a default.
The design keeps chrome to a minimum — quiet typography, generous margins, and navigation that gets out of the way — so that a reader arriving on any device gets the same essential experience: the pictures, at their full presence.
