A Stunning Blend of Architecture and Nature
An excellent showcase of how white oak hardwood flooring can bring a refined and subtle sophistication to a space.
Hilltop Haven, perched in the breathtaking surrounds of Lake Tarawera, Rotorua, epitomises harmony between design and nature. Created by Box Design and brought to life by Tailored Builds, this family home embraces the natural landscape while offering a contemporary retreat. Its elevated position captures expansive lake views, while clever architectural elements ensure maximum sunlight throughout the day.
The Elegance of White Oak Flooring
At the heart of the interior is the exquisite white oak hardwood flooring from Vienna Woods’ Foundation Collection. Selected for its clean, natural aesthetic, the prime grade oak features minimal knots and a soft grain pattern. This creates a seamless, refined look that enhances the home’s modern design.
The flooring’s engineered construction ensures superior stability and resistance to environmental changes, making it ideal for New Zealand homes. Its adaptability to underfloor heating further cements its place in high-performance architectural projects.
Why White Oak Hardwood Flooring Was the Perfect Choice
The light tones of the white oak complement the natural surroundings, reflecting the serene beauty of the bush and lake. The durable finish withstands the demands of family life while maintaining its timeless elegance. Whether bathed in sunlight or softened by the evening glow, the flooring adds warmth and depth to every room.
Collaboration and Craftsmanship
This project exemplifies the power of collaboration. Tailored Builds delivered exceptional craftsmanship, ensuring every detail aligned with the architectural vision. Photographer Sophie Heyworth beautifully captured the interplay of light, material, and form, showcasing the home’s timeless appeal.
A Haven That Inspires
Hilltop Haven demonstrates how thoughtful design, paired with premium materials, creates a home that feels at one with its environment. The combination of Box Design’s architectural expertise and Vienna Woods’ high-quality white oak hardwood flooring results in a home that is both functional and inspiring.
