OLIVA
A Mediterranean dining experience, designed to feel warm, unhurried and rare.
Visit live site ↗The idea
OLIVA is a self-initiated concept for a Mediterranean restaurant. We set out to design the site a premium dining room deserves: warm, quiet, and unmistakably not a template. The goal was a single, immersive page that sells the experience, not just the menu.
What we did
We built a one-page site on a 24-column editorial grid for magazine-precise placement, in a warm near-black palette of deep olive-charcoal, never pure black. The result reads premium rather than generic. Motion follows a clear hierarchy: calm reveals throughout, with two bold moments that earn attention.
- 24-column editorial grid for precise, intentional placement.
- Warm dark palette in deep olive-charcoal, never pure black.
- A scroll-pinned reservations section as the signature moment.
- A draggable gallery with velocity-based snapping, not a generic carousel.
- Lenis smooth scroll paired with GSAP scroll-driven animation.
- Bilingual (EL / EN), with full SEO, structured data and accessibility.
