Oak

Pale, even and quietly structural.

A calm timber for walls, wainscot and shelving that lets a room breathe.

Character & use

Where walnut draws the eye, oak-toned timber steadies a room. Its lighter tone and more even grain make it ideal for larger surfaces — wall cladding, wainscot, open shelving and wardrobe interiors — where a darker timber would feel heavy.

In the Garden Residence, pale timber wraps the bedrooms at a consistent height and lines open shelving throughout, tying rooms on different floors together. Combined with pale plaster and stone, it creates warmth without colour.

Tone, cut and finish are sampled against the actual lighting conditions of the room before specification is confirmed.
