Oak Cashmere at Riverbank Lane, Hamilton
Riverbank Lane is a retail and dining laneway in central Hamilton, Waikato, designed by architecture practice Edwards White. Vienna Woods supplied Oak Cashmere, a light, warm-beige European oak, across the shared spaces and eateries including Mr Pickles. Warm, natural, and specified for a working commercial floor.
A Hamilton laneway that had to feel warm
Riverbank Lane sits in the heart of Hamilton, Waikato: a busy laneway home to some of the city’s best retail stores, cafes and eateries. Hamilton architecture practice Edwards White led the design.
Warm, natural, hospitality-ready

Character that suits a busy floor
A retail and dining precinct is a lot of floor doing a lot of work, and it still has to feel calm. Oak Cashmere’s warm neutral tone keeps the laneway feeling light and inviting, while the rustic grade, with its natural knots and black filler, carries the character a polished floor would miss. It settles into a working hospitality space rather than fighting it.
For a commercial fit-out, the right grade and finish depend on your traffic, sign-off and maintenance plan. See our commercial timber flooring, or send us the plans and we’ll spec it with you.
Square-edge boards, for a solid-oak look
Square edge, not bevelled
The boards were supplied square-edged rather than micro-bevelled, so the joins read as a subtle line. Across a floor, it mimics the seamless look of solid oak.
Rustic grade, filled knots
A rustic grade with black filler through the open knots gives natural grain and movement, the character that makes the floor feel at home in a laneway setting.
