Crinkle Cut House Boasts Sophisticated Smoked Oak Flooring

The Crinkle Cut House designed by Pac Studio.

The dwelling boasts a captivating facade adorned with louvered doors, offering a versatile and adaptable living experience. These doors provide the option to shield the home from the bustling street while welcoming an abundance of natural light into the interior. The house showcases the advantages of passive design principles, with a thoughtfully planned layout, effective sun shading, and the use of high-performance thermal materials. This harmonizes airflow and ventilation, creating a comfortable and sustainable connection with the natural environment.

Situated on a corner site surrounded by pōhutukawa trees, this residence epitomises the perfect summer lifestyle in a charming coastal setting within a close-knit community.

The timber flooring was chosen to add warmth and depth to the space, so it was important that the choice exhibited character. Vienna Woods was able to offer a unique European-made oak floor with subtle features and a sophisticated smokey nature.

The facade features horizontal weatherboards with a batten grid that positions the windows in constant, dappled shade, embodying our intent to harness the interplay of light and shadow in our design.

The louvered elements add dynamism to the residence, affording precise control over airflow, light, views, privacy, and openness. Whether you wish to disconnect from the outside world or engage with the neighborhood’s activities, the louvers provide the flexibility to adapt to your preferences. On a warm summer day, you can immerse yourself in the vibrant local scene, observing the comings and goings of dog walkers, swimmers, and cyclists, or you can adjust the louvers to modulate wind, sunlight, and ambient light, tailoring the environment to your liking.

One of the defining architectural features is the raking clerestory windows that encircle the house. These windows enable the residents to savor the ever-changing positions of the sun and moon in the sky, as well as the captivating interplay of light across the carefully crafted structural elements within the interior.

This architectural marvel embodies a timeless design philosophy, with every detail meticulously crafted. From the gracefully curved staircase to the soaring, ceiling-height doors, each intricate element showcases a perfect blend of understated elegance and technical prowess.

The flooring boasts the finest European oak – a beautiful variety named ‘Cashmere’. Its light tones, enhanced by a subtle stain and complemented by dark filler, add depth and character to the floor, allowing the natural beauty of European oak to shine through. The flooring harmonizes effortlessly with the soft color palette indoors, creating a haven of tranquility.

A STUNNING MODERN EXTENSION IN POINT CHEVALIER

It was a privilege working on this project with the owners of this glorious property. They lived in the small original part if their home for a year before embarking on an extension and renovation. The original part of the home at the street front, had beautiful old matai floor boards which the owners wanted to restore. Vienna Woods worked with them to find a cohesive solution for combining the old, narrow floorboards with the new, wide floorboards. Instead of matching the size of the floorboard which is in keeping with the original style, they decided to bring cohesion through the colour and finish. The original floorboards were sanded back and stained to match the Distilled Oak that was laid throughout the new extension.

The Distilled Collection in Natural Finish is a wonderful design choice and option for owners who are after a particular colour or are wanting to match an existing floor or cabinetry. Our Distilled range showcases the variety of colours and finishes you can get with Vienna Woods Oak.

INCREDIBLE FAMILY HOME TRANSFORMATION

Vienna Woods is thrilled to be involved with an interior design project that transformed a family home into a vibrant and bright entertainers delight. This beautifully renovated home in Auckland utilised a premium European Oak which offers a soft grey pallet with brown undertones that works well in most interiors.

We worked very closely with the talented interior designer Melanie Sa’u, who’s vision for the home was to transform a dated kitchen into an entertaining space that any homeowner would be proud of.

Melanie worked with existing features to bring out the best, delivering a sophisticated theme for the interior with light kitchen cabinetry, optimised to make the most of the available space. The Vienna Woods Oak Taupe flooring features a light rustic grade timber stained with mid natural tone. The flooring is a new technology of lacquer finish which mimics a natural oil finish, pairing excellently with the theme of the space.

The Vienna Woods, Baltic Oak Taupe timber is a timber floor that’s sustainably sourced and made in Europe to some of the most strict environmental and quality standards in the world. Perhaps thought of as a more traditional looking timber, this project demonstrated how oak flooring can complement a more modern interior space.

Vienna Woods loved being part of the project and working closely with talented people like Melanie. Melanie came to Vienna Woods knowing exactly what she needed, and together we were able to find the perfect timber flooring to enhance the home.

Here’s what Melanie had to say upon the completion of this project:
“Vienna Woods were amazing to deal with. Their communication throughout the whole process was great and between the office team and installers then continually checked in throughout the process to keep us up to date. Would highly recommend!”
