In the heart of Manhattan, designer Alexa Hampton curated a space that reflects her hallmark blend of classicism and comfort. For her personal office, she selected a custom Carlisle floor—one that would embody the same refined restraint and timeless quality that defines her work. The space called for a floor that was elegant yet understated, acting as both a foundation and a framing device for creativity. 

The installation features 1,000 square feet of solid White Oak planks in Signature grade, each board measuring 10 inches wide and up to 12 feet in length. The surface is smooth, with a softened edge profile and a hand-applied custom stain developed in close collaboration with Carlisle’s finishing team. The final look is a balance of tone and grain that feels both tailored and inviting. 

Function meets craftsmanship in this office, where every detail—down to the floor beneath—supports the act of thoughtful design. The result is a studio space that is serene, practical, and deeply personal.
