Hero244: Koi Pond Hero

A full-height garden hero over the koi-pond component: koi seen from above swim over a green floor lit by drifting caustics while lily pads bob on the surface. A serif headline, an intro, an Arrow Pill and an underline link sit on a soft shade in the lower left corner.

Base UI flavor

This installs the block to components/beste/block/hero244.tsx plus the koi-pond background and the button23 and button2 buttons it uses.

Quick start

The installed file exports hero244Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working hero in one line.

import { Hero244, hero244Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/hero244";

export default function Page() {
  return <Hero244 {...hero244Demo} />;
}

Then replace the demo with your own props. Written out, a trimmed setup looks like this:

import { Hero244 } from "@/components/beste/block/hero244";

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Hero244
      eyebrow="Tamsin Tea Garden"
      heading="Sit a while. The fish are in no hurry."
      description="A tea garden around a hundred-year-old pond, with loose-leaf teas and quiet tables by the water."
      buttons={[
        { label: "Book a table", href: "/book" },
        { label: "See the teas", href: "/teas" },
      ]}
      pond={{
        fish: 7,
        palette: "mixed",
        waterColor: "#173f39",
        lilyPads: true,
      }}
    />
  );
}

Props

type ActionButton = {
  label: string;
  href: string;
};

Behavior notes

• The koi gather around the cursor, and a click scatters food and sends ripple rings across the water.
• The copy container is pointer-events-none with only the button row re-enabled, so the pond stays interactive right up to the text.
• A radial shade anchored at the lower left darkens the water behind the white copy.
• KoiPond draws on Canvas 2D, pauses through an IntersectionObserver and on hidden tabs, and respects prefers-reduced-motion.
• With reduced motion the copy renders in place; otherwise it rises 20px with delays from 0.1s to 0.5s.
• The section fills at least max(640px, 100svh - 78px) and pins the copy to the bottom.
