Airbnb Landscape Redesign
This project explores how the Airbnb iOS experience could adapt to landscape mode as part of a design exercise in responsive layout exploration. The design task was to reimagine how Airbnb’s interface, hierarchy, and interactions could evolve when rotated horizontally. The goal was to preserve Airbnb’s visual identity while enhancing usability within a wider aspect ratio.
Listing Page
With the listing page, I wanted to explore how a wider aspect ratio could make choosing accommodation easier by displaying more information at once. The landscape layout lets users browse photos while reading key details, creating a more seamless and intuitive comparison experience. It also introduces a more social aspect, perfect for showing listings to someone or planning a trip together on a shared screen.
Better Map Implementation
The search page in landscape mode focuses on improving the map experience and overall usability. The wider layout gives the map more room to breathe, making it easier to explore areas, compare prices, and understand the geography at a glance. By allowing users to view and interact with the map and listings simultaneously, it reduces back-and-forth switching between screens and offers smoother, more intuitive navigation. This setup provides better usability compared to the regular portrait layout, ideal for visual explorers and those planning trips together.
