Gin Lane by RIVA Spain: Luxury European Oak Flooring for Coastal Living

In Coastal Foundations – Gin Lane by RIVA Spain, the essence of elevated coastal living is defined through one unifying element: RIVA Spain hardwood flooring. Using the refined RIVA MAX Sand European oak planks, this residence transforms flooring into the foundation of its entire design language.

Developed by ProFloors & Cabinets, in collaboration with the Knauf Koenig Group and located in Port Royal, the home reflects a sophisticated interpretation of Florida coastal architecture—light-filled, open, and deeply connected to its surroundings. Here, RIVA Spain’s European white oak flooring grounds expansive interiors with warmth and continuity.

At 10 inches wide, the RIVA MAX Sand planks introduce scale and seamless flow throughout the home. Their select-grade composition ensures a clean, minimal appearance, while the soft sand tone mirrors the natural palette of Naples—enhancing light and reinforcing the connection between indoors and the coastline.

Across every space, RIVA Spain flooring plays a defining role. In bedrooms, it creates a calm, spa-like atmosphere by softening neutral tones. In the kitchen, it balances contrast—warming dark walnut cabinetry, marble surfaces, and polished finishes. In the great room, where architecture opens dramatically to the outdoors, the oak flooring anchors the space, maintaining intimacy within volume.

What sets this project apart is how RIVA Spain hardwood floors act as more than a backdrop—they are the connective tissue of the design. They guide movement, unify materials, and elevate the overall aesthetic with quiet sophistication.

RIVA Spain continues to set the standard in luxury hardwood flooring, offering European white oak solutions that combine timeless beauty, wide-plank scale, and exceptional craftsmanship.

FIREWOOD

The upper section of the tree is used for firewood, which may not be suitable for flooring due to higher branch density and smaller trunk size.

CHARACTER

Our character grade comes from the middle part of the tree. This part has a visual appeal and some knots but avoids the large holes of the top part. We refer to our character grade as “light character”.

SELECT

Our select grade comes from the bottom part of the tree and is the youngest wood, which results in the absence of knots and a sleek appearance.
