Confirms a tap
THE FOUNDATIONS · MOTION
If time slows, the movement is slow
Motion is slow and editorial: the page settles gently, chapters reveal at the guest's own pace. Three absolute rules: nothing advances by itself, there is at most one ceremonial moment per screen, and whoever asks for less motion receives the same design, still.
The websites' motion, here
O PALÁCIO
O palácio está de pé desde 1787.
The arrival settle and a chapter reveal. Slow motion stretches the same gesture so its anatomy can be seen. The real tempo is the websites' own.
Five tempos
From the gesture confirming a tap to the ceremonial moment. Hover a row and it moves at its own tempo: the difference is felt rather than read.
One state gives way to another
Content arriving as you scroll
A page change
One per screen, never two
Four curves
A curve that rises fast and settles slowly is an arrival. One that leaves slowly and accelerates away is an exit. What arrives is never hurried, and what leaves does not compete with what enters.

Less motion, on request
When a guest asks their phone or computer for less motion, the website does not switch animation off: it removes the travel and shortens the timing. An element still appears softly, but no longer moves. The guest receives the same design, still. Never a lesser version.
