Case Study: Light Hardwood Flooring in a St Heliers Home

How light hardwood floors made the difference; In the picturesque suburb of St Heliers, a recent renovation has transformed a 1970s bungalow into a modern family haven. The project, led by Box Design, showcases the seamless integration of light timber flooring from the Foundation Collection, enhancing the home’s natural light and coastal charm.

Project Overview

The homeowners, recent arrivals from California, were captivated by the property’s sweeping views across the harbour to Rangitoto, framed by magnificent pōhutukawa trees. While the location was idyllic, the existing home required updates to better suit their family’s needs. They envisioned a space that embraced natural materials and light, providing a canvas for their personal style.

Design and Construction

Collaborating with Box Design, the renovation focused on creating a light-filled, open-plan living area that maximised the stunning views. A key element in achieving this was the selection of light hardwood flooring from the Foundation Collection. This choice not only brightened the interiors but also complemented the home’s natural surroundings.

Key Features of the Foundation Collection:

Sustainability: Crafted from responsibly sourced timber with low-VOC finishes.
Durability: Engineered to withstand daily wear while maintaining its beauty.
European Craftsmanship: Precision-made for stability and longevity.
Versatility: Neutral tones that harmonize with various interior styles.

The Result

The renovated home now features a vast open-plan living space where the dining room is backed by a wall of built-in display shelving and overlooks a sunken lounge with a bank of floor-to-ceiling sliders that access the sea view. Pale timber floors team with light-wood cabinetry in the kitchen and hand-blown European glass pendants hanging over the large bench keep the mood relaxed and casual. The light timber flooring enhances the natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that reflects the family’s coastal lifestyle.
