Located in the heart of Pittsburgh’s university and cultural district, The Oaklander Hotel merges historical reverence with contemporary luxury. To complement this vision, Twofold Studio and Raintree Architecture selected Carlisle’s White Oak flooring to deliver warmth, authenticity, and enduring quality in a boutique setting. 

Installed in a 4″ x 20″ herringbone pattern, the engineered White Oak features a smooth texture, eased edges, and a custom stain that adds a rich, moody tone beneath an extra matte finish. Heirloom grade planks ensure consistency in tone and grain, while the 5/8″ thick engineered structure provides the durability and dimensional stability required for commercial hospitality spaces. 

Designed to evoke timeless sophistication with a modern edge, the floor’s understated geometry enhances the flow of the hotel’s public spaces—offering visual intrigue while remaining quiet enough to support the hotel’s layered design narrative.
