The idea for Scandinavian Hardwoods came after years of countless conversations with homeowners, designers, architects, and builders. The consistent theme: they wanted more than just a beautiful floor. They wanted insight into manufacturing locations (not just the seller or importer) and what materials are used and why. They wanted to understand the product’s environmental impact and it’s effect on indoor air quality and human health. They wanted a compelling story to tell guests about the beautiful floor they’ve chosen. At Scandinavian Hardwoods, we bring all of these elements together while making luxury more accessible.

Nestled in the exclusive North Ranch neighborhood of Westlake Village, this 6,600-square-foot masterpiece is a shining example of JRP’s tailored luxury and innovative design.
Our client’s vision for this home materialized as a single-story layout seamlessly blending the charm of a mountain aesthetic with a modern, rustic vibe.
Every element, from the meticulously crafted ceiling siding and beams to the flush base, narrates a compelling story of extraordinary living. Comprising five bathrooms, three bedrooms, a dedicated office, a gym, and a craft room, each corner of this home was thoughtfully curated to fulfill the unique needs of our discerning clients.
A particularly cherished aspect of the Rustic North Ranch project is the astonishing transformation of indoor-outdoor living. Separating the two spaces is a striking 18-foot-wide pocketing sliding door with a screen; when this door is open, the flow becomes seamless towards the reimagined outdoor living and new pool, inviting you to savor the indulgent pleasures of resort-style living within the sanctuary of a private retreat.

The house is spacious and the interior was designed in a manner, which kept this aspect highlighted: the entrance corridor leads to the large open area, uniting the kitchen, the living room and the dining room; The guest room wall, concealing the wardrobe, has two large incisions, making the wardrobe still part of the bedroom. Compelling design choice was also made for the master bedroom, where two sinks are not shying away from eye, but are rather put on display, as integral element of the bedroom.

“Compelling.” That’s how one of our judges characterized this stair, which manages to embody both reassuring solidity and airy weightlessness. Architect Mahdad Saniee specified beefy maple treads—each laminated from two boards, to resist twisting and cupping—and supported them at the wall with hidden steel hangers. “We wanted to make them look like they are floating,” he says, “so they sit away from the wall by about half an inch.” The stainless steel rods that seem to pierce the treads’ opposite ends are, in fact, joined by threaded couplings hidden within the thickness of the wood. The result is an assembly whose stiffness underfoot defies expectation, Saniee says. “It feels very solid, much more solid than average stairs.” With the rods working in tension from above and compression below, “it’s very hard for those pieces of wood to move.”
The interplay of wood and steel makes abstract reference to a Steinway concert grand, Saniee notes. “It’s taking elements of a piano and playing with them.” A gently curved soffit in the ceiling reinforces the visual rhyme. The jury admired the effect but was equally impressed with the technical acumen required to achieve it. “The rhythm established by the vertical rods sets up a rigorous discipline that works with the intricacies of stair dimensions,” observed one judge. “That’s really hard to do.”

The English Tudor style of the historic Cheelcroft section of Hohokus is characterized by slate roofs, stucco, hand-cut siding, stonework and patterned brick. Morpurgo Architects incorporated each of these elements in a renovation that now embodies 1930's Old World charm in a new, cohesive composition designed for modern times.
Though this house has been significantly enlarged, the additions are kept to a scale that is sensitive to the Tudor style. The street facade remains true to the original footprint, so that it continues to be situated comfortably among its neighbors. Beyond the front entrance, the house evolves from existing rooms with traditionally low ceilings to unexpected heights.
As a departure from original Tudor houses, our firm crafted the additions to this house with tall cathedral spaces resembling the great halls of European manor houses. Large steel casement double-insulated windows and doors flood the rooms with light and integrate these spaces with the surrounding gardens that offer compelling vistas to the landscape through historic-styled leaded glass panes.

This kitchen is characterised by timelessly elegant black and white. To give thespacious, monolithic island a light air, a white ribbon meanders across every side,strikingly showcasing the functions of cooking and water. Another outstandingfeature: fronts made of top-quality matt lacquer with an anti-fingerprint finish.The elegant BONDI makes a spacious overall impression whilst being perfect down to the very last detail. The tall units integrated flush into the wall are compelling as soon as you see the amount of space they offer – with lots of intelligent solutions for stowing things away. In a tidy kitchen, there is plenty of space to showcasepersonal items – that is how they can be shown off to true advantage.

This thoughtfully curated interior strikes a bold balance between color, texture, and modern sophistication. A mix of jewel-toned upholstery, layered patterns, and high-contrast elements creates a dynamic yet inviting atmosphere. The fireplace feature wall, clad in a matte black brick finish, provides a dramatic focal point, framed by curated shelving for added depth and function.
Statement seating in lush green and deep blue velvets creates a compelling contrast against the richly patterned area rug, while the oversized tufted ottoman introduces soft texture and versatility. A grand-scale floral artwork enhances the eclectic narrative, drawing the eye and adding a painterly touch.

Creating outdoor living spaces that not only complement but are also a natural extension of the interior of a home requires experience and an artful touch. When done properly the result is nothing short of magic. The adjacent sunroom features an impressive Nana door that ingeniously combines two living spaces into one, opening to a luxuriously comfortable outdoor dining area, which extends further to an adjacent patio that can be viewed from the sunroom and kitchen. This expands the space dramatically and provides compelling sightlines from both inside and outside the home. Custom touches abound, from details on the paneling and ceiling to custom outdoor sconces and beautiful Weatherend outdoor furniture finished in a marine-grade paint used on yachts. Coral-tone cushions complement splashes of coral used in the sunroom, drawing the two spaces together with natural ease and elegance when they are opened to each other.
