Kährs wood flooring has been installed at Royal Arsenal Riverside’s exclusive ‘Building 23.’ Located on the banks of the River Thames, the stunning development occupies a 76-acre site and combines bold, modern architecture with Grade I and Grade II listed buildings, steeped in history. Kährs Oak Frost – a Swedish three-strip floor - was chosen to complement the interior design, whilst providing high performance and eco benefits. The installation was carried out by Loughton Contracts plc; its specialist residential division was chosen for its expertise in completing high-end projects to the required standards. Originally known as the Woolwich Warren, Royal Arsenal is among Britain’s most important historic sites. It played a central military and industrial role from the late seventeenth century to the early twentieth, and was used for the storage of military battle plans, for armaments manufacture, ammunition proofing and explosives research. Many original features remain, including arched sash windows which enhance the feeling of space and grandeur. Chosen to create a stylish, natural feel, Kährs Oak Frost is a rustic grained wood floor. Its white matt lacquer finish and brushed surface complement exposed brickwork, whilst contrasting with black steelwork.

Designed to make the most of a steep site, this private home in Sydney’s south has created great spaces to enjoy the view of the water. The design features a covered main pavilion with a fully equipped kitchen including a sink, fridge and wood fire pizza oven. Designed for entertainment it also includes a large dining area, sunken spa and wall mounted TV. O the same level of the pavilion is a sunken fire pit area nestled underneath a large existing Frangipani. Travel down a set of steel stairs and you come to an inviting blue pool with wet edge spill over out to the bay. The curves of the pool and lower lawn area designed to add interest when viewing from above. A generous lounge and nearby pool pavilion provides plenty of places to relax by the pool and the cantilevered section of the pavilion, with feature timber panelling, ensures that there is shade poolside and look fantastic next to another mature Frangipani. The overall look and feel of the project is sleek and contemporary, with plants chosen to emphasise the shapes of the design and to add contrasting colours. This project is definitely a great place entertain and relax whilst enjoying the view of the water. Rolling Stone Landscapes

Working with the clients from the early stages, we were able to create the exact contemporary seaside home that they dreamt up after a recent stay in a luxurious escape in New Zealand. Slate cladding and granite floor tiles are used both externally and internally to create continuous flow to the garden and upper terraces. A minimal but comfortable feel was achieved using a palette of cool greys with accents of lime green and dusky orange echoeing the colours within the planting and evening skies. Photo: Joe McCarthy

We were honored to work with Caleb Mulvena and his team at Studio Mapos on the wood flooring and decking of this custom spec house where wood’s natural beauty is on full display. Through Studio Mapos’ disciplined design and the quality craftsmanship of Gentry Construction, our wide-plank oak floors have a truly inspiring canvas from which to shine. Michael Moran/OTTP

A young Mexican couple approached us to create a streamline modern and fresh home for their growing family. They expressed a desire for natural textures and finishes such as natural stone and a variety of woods to juxtapose against a clean linear white backdrop. For the kid’s rooms we are staying within the modern and fresh feel of the house while bringing in pops of bright color such as lime green. We are looking to incorporate interactive features such as a chalkboard wall and fun unique kid size furniture. The bathrooms are very linear and play with the concept of planes in the use of materials.They will be a study in contrasting and complementary textures established with tiles from resin inlaid with pebbles to a long porcelain tile that resembles wood grain. This beautiful house is a 5 bedroom home located in Presidential Estates in Aventura, FL.
