In the picturesque Cheshire countryside, Park View Business Centre is a meticulously converted hub of modern offices and retail spaces, blending contemporary design with historic charm.
Rather than allow the previous agricultural buildings to fall into disrepair, the owner, Peter Beckett, saw an opportunity to keep working professionals in the countryside. He says,
“We went from milking parlours and cow sheds to high-tech offices with character.”
A key element of the transformation was the flooring, selected to withstand the rigours of daily office life while maintaining the aesthetic appeal of the historic estate. In total, 154 sqm of flooring was installed, with 143 sqm being Bjelin’s hardened wood flooring Woodura® Planks, known for their robustness and timeless appeal.
Bjelin’s UK offices are located within the centre, and feature 50m² of the Contrast Collection in the colour Vapor. This perfectly complements the solid oak stairs, creating a seamless and clean aesthetic.
The main public areas, including the entrance hall and kitchen feature wide XXL oak planks with a natural wood feel, which was a fitting choice for a building that, despite its modern function, remains deeply rooted in its agricultural past.
For the more practical areas, like the bathrooms, Rigid Core Planks in a light and natural shade were selected, as they are waterproof and easy to maintain.
Peter Beckett is impressed with the choice of Bjelin flooring throughout the business centre. He says,
“When we bring visitors to the offices, they always say it looks nice and modern and clean. It feels like a new office. Our builders liked working with the product, and we’ve even installed it in our new aesthetics clinic.”
