[Beverly Hills, Calif.] When NxT studio in Los Angeles was hired to design the offices for Ryan Seacrest Enterprise, the design team was looking for something new and exciting — something that would stand out and make an impression, while also complementing Seacrest’s style and sophistication.
Tim Gajewski, founder and president of NxT and the designer who worked on the project, appreciated the look and the distressing of DuChateau’s Strata collection of hardwood flooring. The colors of Terrene, the SKU used, blended perfectly with his palette and ultimately helped achieve the look and feel they wanted with the space.
DuChateau’s Strata Collection features an innovative refinement in sawn treatments with elegant distressing, rich character and deep variation that defines this exemplary flooring. The collection's brilliant colors draw deeply from its earthly inspiration and give it a standalone quality in luxury hardwoods.
Gajewski had also worked with DuChateau before. He was aware of the company’s products, and appreciated how they embody European style and luxury and require minimal maintenance.
And Seacrest himself is pleased with the results. “I couldn’t be happier with the way the flooring complements the design,” Seacrest said of the install.
