VIDEO 1 & 2 — Arrival & Grand Lobby (0–20s)
Cinematic drone approach descending through mountain mist toward the palatial estate. Seamless push-in through towering carved stone arches into the grand lobby with double-height ceilings, Italian marble flooring, reflecting pool, and grand marble staircase bathed in morning light.

---

VIDEO 3 — Presidential Suite (20–30s)
Continue seamlessly from the grand staircase.
The camera reaches the top landing where a pair of handcrafted wooden doors slowly open automatically. Enter the Presidential Suite in one continuous shot: double-height ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking palace gardens, warm Italian marble flooring, soft beige limestone walls, handcrafted wooden furniture, silk curtains gently moving with the breeze, designer lighting, private living room, luxury king-size bed, fresh flowers, a freestanding marble bathtub near the panoramic window, gold accents, subtle reflections. Everything perfectly clean and minimal. No people. The camera slowly walks through the suite toward the terrace, opening the terrace doors naturally. End standing just outside on the private balcony overlooking the infinity pool below. Keep camera motion smooth. No cuts.

---

VIDEO 4 — Infinity Pool (30–40s)
Continue seamlessly.
The camera gently flies over the balcony railing and descends slowly toward an enormous infinity pool: crystal-clear turquoise water, floating marble stepping stones, luxury cabanas with flowing white curtains, palm trees, fire bowls burning softly, poolside lounge beds, premium towels, floating breakfast setup. Infinity edge blends into distant mountains under warm golden sunset lighting. Water ripples naturally, lens catches subtle reflections, everything calm and elegant. The camera glides just above the water surface toward an open restaurant pavilion ahead. Finish directly in front of the restaurant entrance. No cuts.

---

VIDEO 5 — Fine Dining (40–50s)
Continue seamlessly.
Enter the open-air fine dining restaurant: massive stone arches, indoor-outdoor dining concept, warm candle lighting, elegant wooden tables, white marble flooring, handmade ceramic dinnerware, fresh flowers, a grand wine display wall, luxury open kitchen visible in the background, soft ambient lighting, views of palace gardens through giant arches. No guests. Everything perfectly arranged. The camera slowly moves between tables, passes through dining space, exits onto an outdoor terrace revealing another reflecting pool beyond. End centered on the spa entrance visible across the water. Maintain constant cinematic movement.

---

VIDEO 6 — Spa & Wellness (50–60s)
Continue seamlessly.
Cross the reflecting pool using floating stone pathways. Enter a luxury spa pavilion: natural stone architecture, warm indirect lighting, indoor waterfall wall, steam gently rising, private massage rooms, minimal Japanese-inspired interiors mixed with Indian craftsmanship, aromatic candles, stone soaking pools, large skylight, indoor bamboo garden. Everything silent. No people. Camera slowly moves through the spa, exits onto an outdoor meditation garden, revealing the palace courtyard at sunset. End looking toward the illuminated palace. Prepare for golden hour transition.

---

VIDEO 7 — Sunset Courtyard (60–70s)
Continue seamlessly.
Golden hour. The palace courtyard glows with warm sunlight: grand fountains, reflecting pools, perfect symmetry, marble pathways, palm trees, birds crossing the sky, luxury outdoor lounge areas, soft breeze moving trees. The camera circles around the central fountain, slowly gaining elevation to reveal the full palace bathed in warm sunset light. As the camera rises, lights throughout the palace gradually begin turning on, transitioning naturally into blue hour. End with the palace filling the frame. Prepare for final aerial reveal.

---

VIDEO 8 — Night Reveal & Drone Pullback (70–80s)
Continue seamlessly.
Blue hour transitions into deep night. Every palace window glows with warm golden light. Thousands of landscape lights illuminate the gardens. The fountains begin dancing and water reflects every light perfectly. The camera slowly flies backward while continuously rising, revealing the complete palace in perfect symmetry, glass-like reflections, soft fog above the lake, and subtle fireworks far beyond the mountains. The palace feels like the world's most luxurious destination. Hold final composition for two seconds. No logo, no text. Fade naturally to black.
The Palace Website Specification (Claude Code Prompt) Website Brief · Next.js 16 / GSAP ScrollTrigger / Lenis

Master developer prompt instructing Claude Code to build an unforgettable 80-second scroll-driven destination film website with Next.js 16, GSAP ScrollTrigger, Lenis, dynamic frame luminance sampling, and Canela typography.

You are an award-winning Creative Director, Senior Product Designer, Motion Designer, and Principal Frontend Engineer.

Your work should feel comparable to websites from Active Theory, Resn, Locomotive, Basic Agency, Apple, Dogstudio, and Awwwards Site of the Day winners.

The objective is NOT to build a hotel website.
The objective is to create an unforgettable cinematic digital experience where scrolling controls an 80-second luxury film.

This website should feel like an interactive movie where every pixel communicates luxury through restraint.

==================================================
1. TECH STACK
==================================================
• Next.js 16 (App Router)
• React 19
• TypeScript
• TailwindCSS v4
• GSAP 3 & GSAP ScrollTrigger
• Lenis smooth scrolling
• Framer Motion
• SVG Morph animations & CSS Variables
• Dynamic viewport units
• requestAnimationFrame optimization

NO Bootstrap, NO jQuery, NO component libraries. Everything custom.

==================================================
2. DESIGN PHILOSOPHY & PALETTE
==================================================
- Think like an Art Director, not a frontend developer.
- Atmosphere: Luxury fashion campaign, minimal UI, massive visual impact, elegant whitespace.
- Color System: Near-black (#060608), warm ivory (#F9F8F5), soft champagne (#EFE7DA), subtle gold accents (#D4AF37), glass reflections. Absolutely no bright saturated colors.
- Dynamic Frame Lighting: Sample video frame average brightness — UI subtly warms up during golden hour and darkens during blue hour/night scenes.
- Typography: Luxury serif for headlines (Canela / PP Editorial / Playfair Display) paired with modern sans for UI (Neue Montreal / Inter / Geist).

==================================================
3. VIDEO PLAYBACK ARCHITECTURE & SCROLL SYSTEM
==================================================
- Virtual scroll height: 9000–12000px.
- Single sticky fullscreen canvas/video container where `video.currentTime` is strictly mapped to `ScrollTrigger.progress` via requestAnimationFrame with smooth inertial lerp damping.
- No autoplay, no independent playback controls, no audio. Scroll IS playback.
- Scrolling forward flies through the palace; scrolling backward smoothly reverses the drone trajectory.

==================================================
4. NARRATIVE MILESTONES & KINETIC TYPOGRAPHY
==================================================
Text floats independently over the fullscreen video, fading in with blur, opacity, letter-spacing expansion, and mask reveals:

1. Arrival (0–12%):
   "WELCOME HOME"
   Architecture beyond imagination

2. Grand Lobby (12–25%):
   "A THRESHOLD OF LIGHT"
   Where stone breathes and time slows

3. Presidential Suite (25–38%):
   "WHERE ROYALTY SLEEPS"
   Crafted in Italian marble and private terraces

4. Infinity Pool (38–50%):
   "ABOVE THE CLOUDS"
   Horizon dissolves into water and sky

5. Fine Dining (50–62%):
   "A FEAST OF ART"
   Stone arches and quiet candlelight

6. Spa & Wellness (62–75%):
   "SILENCE, PERFECTED"
   Waterfalls, steam, and meditation gardens

7. Sunset Courtyard (75–88%):
   "EVERY SUNSET IS PRIVATE"
   Golden hour symmetry and dancing fountains

8. Night Reveal (88–100%):
   "AN UNFORGETTABLE DESTINATION"
   A beacon of royalty beneath the night sky
   Primary CTA: "REQUEST A PRIVATE RESIDENCE VIEWING"

==================================================
5. UI COMPONENTS & MICRO-INTERACTIONS
==================================================
- Transparent Floating Navbar: Blurred glass header that auto-hides on downward scroll and smoothly re-appears on upward scroll.
- Preloader: Deep black screen with elegant typography, video metadata preloading, and smooth transition into frame 1.
- Custom Cursor: Trailing magnetic ring cursor with gentle repulsion over buttons and subtle text tracking.
- Performance: 60 FPS GPU-accelerated transforms, zero layout shifts, lazy loading, and responsive desktop/tablet/mobile layouts.
