My UI Ear Worm

A couple of years back, I say a couple, probably about 10 years ago, Microsoft had this development team with a website, the design really stuck in my head, for the last few years I tried to remember the name of this now discontinued project. Although I did remember the name (Ubelly) and found 1 image in pinterest that I was able to recreate the style. Here is that very distinct style that I really like.

How could this be modernised?
