A significant transformation has taken place at an office in Arlington, VA, where traditional design blends with modern elements. The renovation showcases over 214 sqm of natural walnut Woodura Planks 3.0, adding a touch of elegance.
During the initial planning meeting, the design team emphasised the importance of maximising natural light while ensuring soundproofing was a priority. “We wanted to create a space that maintained the traditional essence our client desired, but with contemporary touches,” says the lead designer, Joy Edwards.
With soundproofing a priority, the designer aimed to create the quietest floor possible.
“The floor’s soundproofing quality was already good, but with Bjelin’s help, we selected an underlay that works perfectly with the floors, making them exceptionally quiet to walk on.”
Initially unfamiliar with Bjelin’s hardened wood flooring, Woodura Planks 3.0, the designer recognised its potential after ruling out LVP for its lack of depth. “When I found Bjelin’s Woodura, it stood out as the obvious choice,” says Joy. Sustainability also played a crucial role in the selection process.
