This wood flooring was incorporated as part of a house design project by Ukraine-based architect Sergey Makhno to create a warm, inviting feel that doesn't skimp on style.
The space itself was designed with the wabi-sabi Japanese philosophy in mind and is further enhanced with the flooring that has a slightly imperfect design that's achieved with pieces of all different shapes. The floor is achieved with 500-year-old oak wood and has been expertly finished to have every plank fit perfectly together without cutting them all to one uniform shape. The wood flooring also embraces a natural transition from light to dark shades throughout that further enhances the warm feeling within the space to offset stronger statement pieces therein.
