01 / THE PATTERN

Complexity, seen up close.

Contrasting timber bands turn around square elements, creating a composition that changes as the eye moves across the floor. The close view reveals the grain, tonal variation and junctions within the completed parquet.

02 / ROOM BY ROOM

Each space has its own rhythm.

The custom brief called for different patterns across the project. These completed rooms show two of those compositions: repeating square-based units and a diagonal, herringbone-like layout.

The detail continues through the doorway.

The sequence of timber doorframes brings the floor transitions into focus. Straight boards, diagonal flooring and narrow threshold strips are visible across the adjoining spaces. Room-specific borders formed part of the brief, as reported by the project provider.
