Client overview: 

House Cohen is a beautiful private residential development in Loop Street, Cape Town completed end 2016, by leading architectural firm, Zuckerman Sachs Architects. 

Rubio Monocoat was specified for the interior wood finish for the feature staircase and oak veneer panels on the wall throughout this modern apartment.

Project overview: 

The architect developed a natural, clean, contemporary design with a natural wooden interior finish for the floors and staircase. With Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C, the wood preserved its beautiful natural element without any color affecting its display.  

Solid wooden floors were installed in the open-plan living area of the ground floor leading into the open plan kitchen, which created a seamless look.

The black metal edging of the staircase, and the natural color of the solid oak treads created a feature piece in the main open-plan living area.

In addition, we used the darker, warmer hues of the Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C colors, in a blend of 50% Charcoal and 50 % Chocolate, for the joinery cladding at the staircase and on a feature wall area on the first floor.  This finishing complimented the subtle color of the natural wooden floor.
