Design Resources | Architect + Designer Hub
For Architects & Designers

Inspiration, tools & guides for the design community.

This hub is where your team can browse installed work, reference pattern and finish libraries, assemble color stories, and download project-ready guides for specifying our wood flooring systems with confidence.

Best saved in your studio standards folder: share with project managers, spec writers, and anyone touching wood flooring assemblies.

Lookbooks & Moodboards

Installed work, distilled into clear design directions.

Use these lookbooks to align with clients on mood, palette, and pattern before the details get technical. Each set shows real installations, natural light, and how the floor behaves with other materials.

Modern European Loft

Long, wide planks in neutral smoked tones, paired with plaster walls and black metal details for clean, gallery-like apartments.

View Lookbook

Warm Coastal Residence

Sun-leaning finishes with soft movement, ideal for homes with large openings, indoor–outdoor transitions, and light, relaxed furnishings.

Formal City Apartment

Chevron and herringbone patterns in deeper, tailored tones, designed for pre-war restorations and contemporary penthouses with classical bones.

Pattern Library

A quick reference for how the floor wants to move.

Chevron, herringbone, parquet, and plank patterns each behave differently across spans, thresholds, and transitions. Use this library to match pattern with intent.

Chevron

Strong directional movement ideal for galleries, long corridors, and formal living rooms where you want the eye to travel in a clear axis.

Herringbone

Classic, energetic pattern that breaks up long runs and handles directional changes gracefully in open-plan spaces.

Versailles Parquet

Statement pattern for formal rooms, salons, and dining spaces where the floor can become part of the architecture rather than a quiet background.

Wide Plank

Calm, minimal and modern; suited to large, continuous spaces where movement and light should feel soft and uninterrupted.

Finish Library

Natural, reactive, smoked & oil systems in plain language.

These finishes represent families, not single SKUs. Use them to speak with clients about intent — matte vs. satin, warm vs. cool, movement vs. calm — before we dial in exact products.

Natural Oil Matte

Low-sheen, touchable surface that keeps grain open and tactile. Ideal for primary living spaces where you want the floor to feel soft underfoot and quietly luxurious.

Smoked Neutral

Smoked tones that knock down red and orange without going grey. Strong choice for contemporary interiors that still need warmth and depth.

Pale Reactive

Scandinavian-leaning palette with subtle variation, best for high-light conditions and clients who want the floor to disappear into the architecture.

Deep Espresso Oil

Rich, saturated brown for formal rooms, libraries, and spaces that benefit from contrast with light walls and millwork.

Warm Satin

Slight sheen for projects where housekeeping prefers a more traditional finish but design still leans warm and restrained.

Soft Grey Wash

Gentle grey wash that keeps the floor from skewing yellow next to cool stone, glass, and blackened metal without reading blue.

Color Storyboards

Palettes you can drop into a client deck.

These storyboards group tones the way you actually present — as families. Use them to assemble material boards, set expectations, and narrow options before sampling.

Warm Neutrals

Pair with limestone, warm metals, and soft upholstery for homes that need comfort, not drama.

Deep Tonals

Works with darker millwork, stone fireplaces, and spaces where the floor can hold a more theatrical, evening mood.

Scandinavian Pale

For minimal, daylight-driven interiors with white walls, pale textiles, and very little visual noise.

Cool Minimal

Best when the floor needs to sit comfortably next to concrete, cool stone, and blackened metals without reading cold.

Downloadable Guides

Practical PDFs for the people who carry the risk.

Drop these into your project folders, share with the GC, or attach to RFIs. Each guide is written to bridge design intent with field conditions — in clear, spec-ready language.

CEU & Training

Professional education grounded in real failures.

Our sessions focus on what actually happens on site — where systems fail, who carries the risk, and how to write specs that are defensible when things go wrong.

  • 1
    Accredited CEU Certification Classes
    AIA and IDCEC-eligible courses that walk through case studies, assemblies, and specification language your team can apply immediately.
  • 2
    Private In-Firm Trainings
    Project-specific sessions for your office or studio, focused on the assemblies you use most — including live Q&A on active work.
  • 3
    Virtual Lunch & Learns
    Shorter, focused sessions ideal for multi-office teams, remote staff, and quick refreshers before major milestones.
