Profile images & history
The room stays visible right away, and that makes the room easier to choose.
The room gets more space to matter, so the room stays closer from the start.
The right first pass is one where the user can decide fast without feeling rushed.
That gives the opening read a cleaner kind of momentum.
The next rooms hold together because they keep the browse moving without a hard turn.

The visible version can change, which is why the profile works as a recent front door rather than an archive object.
That still leaves the browse value in place because the room still gets a cleaner start from here.
The second row holds because they give you more rooms without changing the pace too sharply.

Fast follow-upThe room remains the obvious next move here, instead of pushing it into the background.
The first read stays light, which makes the next move feel simpler.
The point of a room-first stop like this is that it gives a better first read than a plain listing.
That leaves the room with a cleaner kind of momentum.
A front door like this works best when the room remains the natural next step.
