Gallery pattern
The Listing Deck
Five homes in one stack of cards. Rest on the deck and it fans open in perspective; hover a home and it lifts out with its name; click it and the page opens that listing.
This is the real effect, not a video. Scroll, drag and click inside it.
A gallery of five that behaves like a deck of cards. The visitor reaches in: the deck fans open in real perspective when they hover, the card under the cursor lifts and names itself, and a click opens it. It feels like being handed a short stack of Polaroids by someone who has already done the sorting.
When to use it
Dressed here as a property agency, HAVEN, with five homes. It suits anything sold in short editions: this week's listings, a restaurant's tasting menus, a studio's project shortlist, a travel agency's trips this season.
Why it works
A curated few beats a searchable many when judgement is the product. The deck makes curation visible: five things, each one lifted and named by hand. It is pure CSS, so it is light and it runs on a phone.
