Room by Room Picker

Realestate64: Room by Room Picker

A room picker for a development's show home: a rule eyebrow, a heading and an intro, then a hairline list of rooms on the left with a thin accent bar that slides to the selected row, and on the right a 4:3 frame in which the matching photograph cross-fades in once its file has loaded. Under the frame, the room's note, a counter and a caption change with it. Clicking a row or pressing the arrow keys moves the selection; the first photograph opens the frame from the top and the frame drifts slowly against the scroll.

Installation

Swap YOUR_EMAIL and YOUR_KEY for the email and license key on your account. Find your license key on your account page.

Radix flavor

npx shadcn add "https://beste.dev/r/realestate64?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"

Base UI flavor

npx shadcn add "https://beste.dev/r-base/realestate64?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"

This installs the block to components/beste/block/realestate64.tsx plus the badge24 rule eyebrow; no shadcn/ui primitives are needed.

Quick start

The installed file exports realestate64Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working section in one line.

import { Realestate64, realestate64Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/realestate64";

export default function Page() {
  return <Realestate64 {...realestate64Demo} />;
}

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

import { Realestate64 } from "@/components/beste/block/realestate64";

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Realestate64
      eyebrow="Room by room"
      heading="One home, one room at a time."
      description="Pick a room to see it, or move through them with the arrow keys."
      rooms={[
        {
          title: "Living",
          description: "A double-height room with the river wall of arched windows.",
          image: {
            src: "https://oud.pics/b/realestate/alder-warehouse-living.webp",
            alt: "A double-height living room with a brick wall and a tall oak window",
          },
          caption: "The living room in the late morning light",
        },
        {
          title: "Kitchen",
          description: "Oak cabinets, a stone island and a run of windows onto the birches.",
          image: {
            src: "https://oud.pics/b/realestate/alder-courtyard-kitchen.webp",
            alt: "An open kitchen with oak cabinets and a stone island",
          },
          caption: "The kitchen island faces the courtyard",
        },
        {
          title: "Bedroom",
          description: "The main bedroom with an oak bed and a brick wall kept from the old building.",
          image: {
            src: "https://oud.pics/b/realestate/alder-warehouse-bedroom.webp",
            alt: "A main bedroom with an oak bed, a brick wall and a view of birch trees",
          },
          caption: "The main bedroom, birches outside",
        },
      ]}
      labels={{ of: "of", hint: "Use the arrow keys to move between rooms" }}
    />
  );
}

Behavior notes

• The list uses a roving tab stop: only the selected row's button is in the tab order, and ArrowDown, ArrowRight, ArrowUp and ArrowLeft on the list move the selection with wrap-around and focus the new row, so a keyboard user steps through the rooms without leaving the list. Each row carries aria-pressed.
• The accent bar is a layoutId span, so it slides from the previous row to the new one over 0.5 s instead of blinking.
• Each photograph is its own element keyed by index inside AnimatePresence mode="wait": the old one fades out over 0.2 s, the new one fades in only once its own load event has fired, so a slow file never shows a half-drawn image. The first photograph to load, together with the frame being in view, opens the frame with a top-to-bottom clip over 1.6 s while the image settles from 1.18 to 1.12 scale.
• The frame drifts from -6% to 6% against the page scroll; the note, counter and caption under it cross-fade with the same mode="wait" grammar.
• With prefers-reduced-motion the frame renders open, the drift is zero, photographs appear without fades and rows do not rise.
