Page type with portfolio

Hi,

So I’ve got a portfolio template (orvis) setup but here is the issue I have.

I want the homepage to still use the ‘portfolio’ style with images displayed in a tiled configuration. However, when clicking on the images to go that project, I want it to be a normal ‘page’ not a portfolio type page so that normal formatting can be done. Orvis forces a left hand text on portfolio pages..

What would be the best way to do this? I tried plugins but then the projects stop appearing on the homepage because they aren’t read as a ‘portfolio project’.

Thanks in advance!
