280mm White Ash Wide Plank Wood Flooring & Bespoke Stair Cladding
Hoff Parquet was commissioned to design, supply, and install premium ash wood flooring for a private residential property in the prestigious Morningside area of Edinburgh. The client sought a clean, contemporary interior with natural warmth, wide plank proportions, and bespoke detailing—while ensuring long-term durability and technical excellence across multiple floors.
Our brief extended beyond flooring alone and included the complete design and manufacture of a bespoke ash wood staircase cladding, crafted specifically for a curved stair structure, as well as refined architectural details on the upper levels.
