Artisan Wood Floors
Set above the slopes overlooking the Kamloops valley and tranquil Peterson Creek, this private residence by Nevo Design unabashedly celebrates the drama of its natural surroundings.
The home embraces rich, atmospheric tones and a distinctive character grounded by carefully selected materials. Central to its tactile authenticity is a CRAFT Naramata White Oak floor, providing a grounding presence that complements dramatic contrasts and textural depth throughout the residence.
Immersed in nature from every vantage point, this home channels the unique beauty of Kamloops –a region where sprawling grasslands give way to rugged, sage-scented hillsides, and stands of Ponderosa pine and Douglas fir. These surroundings permeate the home’s aesthetic, subtly informing its organic textures and deep, moody palettes.
Architectural arches and tailored millwork form signature elements of the home’s identity. Nevo Design artfully balances traditional detailing with contemporary simplicity, crafting a visual dialogue that invites exploration. This thoughtful juxtaposition finds harmony with the Naramata Oak floor, its medium wire-brushed texture gently grounding the home’s expressive architectural forms.
The interior’s atmospheric depth owes much of its refinement to the oak floor’s richly figured grain. More than merely an aesthetic choice, the natural textures and warmth of the wood reinforce a tangible connection to nature and enhancing the home’s inviting ambiance, reminiscent of storied spaces.
The palette is intentionally restrained, allowing textures to narrate their own story. Rich wood panels and fine cabinetry interplay with the organic grain of the flooring, creating spaces that engage without overwhelming the senses. This meticulous layering produces an interior that rewards close contemplation and appreciation.
The oak floor anchors the home’s sophisticated ambiance, imbuing each room with organic warmth reflective of core biophilic principles. Its natural grain patterns evoke the tranquility and authenticity of spaces steeped in history, ensuring a refined yet welcoming interior.
The dining area offers a serene, contemplative setting, where richly textured furnishings and sculptural lighting harmoniously interact with views of the surrounding pine forests.
At the heart of the design lies an appreciation for authenticity. The carefully chosen oak, with its balanced neutral tones, preserves subtle nuances inherent in real wood. The natural grain variations and timeworn textures of the floor uphold biophilic ideals, offering residents a continuous sensory reminder of their natural surroundings.
In the master suite, the oak floor provides a quiet foundation for relaxation. Its subtle organic beauty gently grounds the bold, graphic design elements of adjacent ensuite, creating a sanctuary of serene balance.
For CRAFT, this Kamloops residence highlights the transformative role thoughtfully selected materials play in shaping a home’s character, in what is affectionately described by its residents as their “forever residence.” The Naramata floor elevates Nevo Design’s carefully executed interior, ensuring that the home remains simultaneously dramatic and welcoming, and enduringly timeless.
