Coastal Bleached Maple Overhaul in Nutana

Situated in Nutana, this century-old home suffered from dark, segmented rooms that felt cramped. The design directive focused on bouncing as much seasonal daylight into the home as possible while respecting structural movement typical of historic structures.

• The Challenge: Old lath-and-plaster homes shift with the seasons, meaning rigid floor applications are prone to buckling or gaping near old heating registers.

• The Solution: We recommended high-stability engineered Canadian Maple with a coastal bleached finish. Using an advanced floating floor system layered with a thick premium sound-dampening membrane, the new floor isolates wood expansion safely from the foundational framing.
