The design approach makes use of artistic style, an intuitive layout, and a side-scrolling landing page that showcases art from exhibits held at the mansion. White space and effective minimalism were incorporated to offset the color scheme and improve visibility along with navigation. With secondary goals of educating users on the past exhibits, the long history of both Gracie Mansion along with the elected mayors, and the 1st Ladies of Gracie Mansion, navigation and clarity were both important focuses.

The customized tile layout showcases the current art exhibitions with a focus on image clarity without sacrificing site speed.
