The Rooms Grid

About77: The Rooms Grid

A section about the space itself: a wide heading and a short intro over four photographs in a deliberately uneven grid, each drifting inside its own frame, closed by a ruled row of practical details like address, transport and access.

This installs the block to components/beste/block/about77.tsx plus the button22 sliding-marker pill and the text1 word stagger it uses.

Quick start

The installed file exports about77Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working rooms section in one line.

import { About77, about77Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/about77";

export default function Page() {
  return <About77 {...about77Demo} />;
}

Then replace the demo with your own props. Written out, a trimmed setup looks like this:

import { About77 } from "@/components/beste/block/about77";

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <About77
      eyebrow="The rooms"
      heading="Plaster walls, a low bench, and a window that gets the afternoon."
      description="We chose the rooms before we chose the furniture."
      button={{ label: "Visit before you book", href: "/visit", tone: "outline" }}
      photos={[
        { src: "/rooms/bench.jpg", alt: "A sunlit room with plaster walls and a low timber bench" },
        { src: "/rooms/ledge.jpg", alt: "A ceramic vessel and a folded cloth on a plaster ledge" },
        { src: "/rooms/table.jpg", alt: "A calm room with a long stone table and linen chairs" },
        { src: "/rooms/kitchen.jpg", alt: "A kitchen with oak cabinets and a window onto a garden" },
      ]}
      details={[
        { label: "Address", value: "Rua da Prata 12, second floor, Lisbon" },
        { label: "Access", value: "Step-free, with a quiet room to wait in" },
      ]}
    />
  );
}

Props

type Photo = {
  src: string;
  alt: string;
};

type Detail = {
  label: string;
  value: string;
};

type ActionButton = {
  label: string;
  href: string;
  tone?: "primary" | "light" | "dark" | "outline";
};

Behavior notes

• The grid is a fixed four-slot layout, not a repeating one: slot widths, aspect ratios, drift distances and vertical offsets are declared per position, so the arrangement stays composed rather than becoming a regular grid the eye stops reading.
• photos.slice(0, 4) caps the section at four. A fifth entry is dropped rather than falling into an undefined slot, and a slot beyond the list falls back to the first, so a shorter array never crashes the layout.
• The two portrait slots drift 8% and the two landscape slots 12%, against a 1.25 scale. Taller frames need less travel to read as moving, and matching them would make the wide ones look static.
• The vertical offsets (md:mt-24 on the second, md:-mt-24 on the fourth) apply from md only, so the uneven rhythm collapses to a plain stack on a phone where it would just read as broken spacing.
• Entry delay alternates on index % 2, so the two photographs in a row arrive a beat apart rather than the stagger growing longer down the section.
• Photos start at blur(24px) and clear on decode, with a complete check on mount so a cached image is never left blurred waiting for an onLoad that already fired.
• The details row is a real dl with dt/dd pairs, so an address and its label stay associated for a screen reader rather than being two adjacent strings.
