Basha-Franklin — gallery grid beneath a white lintel. The site treats architecture photography as the dominant interface material: oversized, uncropped rectangular project images sit inside a fine ruled grid on a warm plaster canvas. Typography is deliberately split between small, tracked sans-serif labels and a single large, softly tightened serif voice; this makes navigation and descriptive statements feel like exhibition captions rather than marketing modules. A saturated navy footer interrupts the pale field as a dense endcap, carrying the pale cream type and newsletter controls.
