I gave myself one goal: build a hospitality website I hadn't seen 50 times before.
This became Khattar.
A dark, atmospheric sanctuary experience built around one idea: the interface should get out of the way and let the place create the emotion.
So I experimented with oversized imagery, restrained typography, dark/light modes and a responsive system that carries the same feeling from desktop → tablet → mobile.
And yes — I built the actual thing too.
I'm going to be doing a lot more of these: original websites, experiments and redesigns of websites I think could be much better.
Khattar case study
what was the hardest part of making the space feel atmospheric?
Probably knowing when to stop 😅 I kept realizing that the more effects I added, the less atmospheric it felt. Most of the mood ended up coming from the imagery, dark palette, spacing and keeping the interactions pretty restrained. The challenge was making it immersive without overdesigning it.

This is my biggest client success story of my carreer.
It's hard to capture 3+ years of work into a single use case page.
Though I gave it a try (it's never perfect 😉)
Read the use case here and let me know what you think of the work. Thanks!🤙🏻
Distilling three years of multidisciplinary work into one use case page is the real craft here, Tim. Long-term client relationships are the best portfolio proof there is. Congrats on the DeFi brand journey.
