System prompt

This is a high-end architectural studio portfolio. The design DNA is defined by a minimalist, photography-driven approach with a strict monochromatic dark palette (#1A1A1A bg, #FFFFFF ink, #333333 muted). Typography relies on a clean humanist-sans-serif (Open Sans) to provide a neutral, elegant voice. Layout is asymmetric, prioritizing full-bleed imagery and generous whitespace to evoke a gallery-like experience. Interactions are subtle, using soft opacity and color transitions. Key donts: never introduce high-chroma accent colors, avoid decorative serifs, do not overcrowd the UI with interface elements, avoid heavy shadows, use sentence case for headlines, and maintain an asymmetric layout. The system should feel like a prestigious, calm, and visually-led architectural archive.
