Lintel

Lintel sets a practice's work like a set of drawings: drafting-paper pages, graphite ink, graphite pencil for buttons and a redline marker for the small details, Hanken Grotesk for text and Spline Sans Mono for captions and numbers. Corners are square, rules are one pixel wide, a faint twelve-column construction grid sits behind the sections, and the images are large and left uncropped.

It is built on the Symelo portfolio foundation, so projects are a real content type with their own fields, and everything below works without a page builder:

• Projects: a Projects menu with disciplines and industries, client, year, role, duration, location, tools, a summary, galleries, a before/after slider, the challenge / approach / outcome of the case study, results, credits, a client quote, a map and the next project. Values are edited with the free Secure Custom Fields plugin (the theme offers to install it) and keep showing without it.
• Title blocks: every project card carries a small boxed table at the bottom right of its image (number, year, name, disciplines, location), like the title block of a drawing sheet.
• The building schedule: every project as a numbered row (name, location, disciplines, year) between hairlines. With a mouse, the row's cover image follows the pointer; on touch screens it shows as a thumbnail.
• Project pages: a sticky facts column (status, location, role, year), the case study, results, a Drawings gallery as a full-width stack, credits, the location map and a link to the next project.
• Your practice: an availability badge in the header, the hero and the footer; office details, clients, awards, services and testimonials.
• Forms: a project inquiry form (it fills in the project a visitor came from), contact, collaboration request and newsletter forms. Messages are stored in the dashboard and emailed to you.
• Motion: slow clip-up reveals for images and headings; all of it off for visitors who prefer reduced motion.
• Light and dark: a switch in the header that remembers the visitor's choice, and three style variations, Blueprint, Concrete and Sand, each with its own day or night partner.

Templates: blog home, single post, page, archive, search, 404, the project page, the projects archive, discipline and industry archives, plus the custom templates Landing page, Wide and Case study. Template parts: header, header over a hero image, footer and a minimal footer.

Patterns: heroes (a full-bleed photograph with a title block, a drawing sheet with a dimensioned image, the building schedule and the latest project), selected work, principles, drawings, the project index, the filterable grid, services, process, the practice in numbers, clients, awards, testimonials, questions, galleries, forms, journal lists, calls to action, social links and full pages for Home, Work, Studio, Contact and a Landing page.

The demo content (Appearance → Import demo) installs a complete creative studio with nine projects, disciplines, industries, clients, awards and the Home, Work, Studio and Contact pages.
