The flooring captures the essence of the project’s tenet—durable and understated yet brimming with character. It complements the home’s warm millwork, bold colours, and intricate details, such as the library’s coffered ceilings with wallpaper inserts. A sanctuary of intellectual elegance, pairs traditional craftsmanship with unique textures.

At the epicenter of this residence, is Jura Genuine French Oak from Northern Wide Plank’s Tannic Collection. The 7” (180mm) wide planks, arranged in both plank and herringbone patterns, provide a foundation of rustic refinement.

The design’s highlights include a stunning kitchen with a carefully curated colour palette, and a French oven that draws the eye.

Meanwhile, the basement underwent a dramatic transformation. Excavating and underpinning were necessary to achieve the now impressive 9’2” ceilings, and the removal of a 65-year-old bomb shelter posed logistical challenges—but the result is nothing short of extraordinary.

Sourcing the materials for this project was quite simple, stated the homeowners. “With our designer’s guidance, we started and finished with Northern Wide Plank. Once we entered their showroom, the feeling we had arrived at a place of quality was easily experienced. Jura perfectly encapsulated our vision of rustic elegance. It brought warmth, refinement, and versatility—qualities this tone of French Oak delivered effortlessly.”

From its inviting natural finish to its timeless herringbone layout, the flooring mirrors the home’s blend of strength and charm, described by the homeowners as “tough as a British battleship, with the passionate charm of a John Keats poem.”

This home stands as a testament to the harmony of tradition and modernity, proving that Mayfair’s elegance can thrive beautifully in the heart of Rosedale.
