Specialising in handcrafted, luxury new build homes, property developer Oak & Olive Homes selected our Bjelin Hardened Wood Flooring for all three homes at their exclusive Navigation Way development in Send, Surrey.
Nestled within the grounds of Pembroke House, and set along the edge of the tranquil River Wey Navigation canal, the exclusive Navigation Way development comprises of three beautifully crafted homes.
Each has been designed in traditional Surrey vernacular style, featuring elegant architectural detailing throughout. The homes are picturesquely accessed via a long, tree-lined driveway, offering both privacy and a wonderful connection to nature.
Oak & Olives Homes CEO Max Chilton explains, "With Navigation Way we set out to craft a neighbourhood that balances classical charm with clean, contemporary precision. Where each home feels quietly individual, and the landscape offers both connection and calm."
Finished to an exceptional standard throughout, the homes offer a harmonious mix of four and five-bedroom layouts. Open-plan ground floor living spaces overlook expansive gardens, perfect for modern family life and entertaining, while the first floors provide peaceful, comfortable environments, featuring spacious bedrooms and elegantly appointed bathrooms and ensuites.
Throughout each of the homes there is an uncompromising commitment to quality. Double-height entrance halls bathed in natural light, artisan joinery, bespoke kitchens painted in muted heritage tones, and principal suites that feel like private sanctuaries.
Every detail, from the aged brass fittings to the bespoke media cabinetry and reeded bathroom vanities, reflects a careful curation of materials and textures.
“Each home features a central staircase that sets the tone for refined living and creates an effortless flow between spaces. A central axis that connects formal, informal, and functional areas. Flooring plays an equally important role in creating those seamless transitions and reinforcing the overall design."
Porcelain tiles in the impressive entrance halls lead into Bjelin Hardened Wood Flooring, which features throughout the formal reception rooms and additional ground floor living spaces. The same flooring continues up the central staircases and across the first-floor landings, creating visual continuity and a calm, natural backdrop that guides you through the homes.
Scandinavian in design, our Bjelin Hardened Wood Floors combine innovative technology with timeless beauty to create floors that are made to last.
These exceptionally durable wood floors are engineered using a unique blend of revolutionary Woodura technology. The resulting hardened planks offer outstanding strength and wear resistance, whilst still providing all the authentic warmth and character of a real wood floor.
Sustainability is also built-in, with the wood used to craft the floors sourced responsibly from FSC-certified European forests.
For Navigation Way, Oak & Olive Homes selected Bjelin's Earth Grey Oak finish, creating a sophisticated and calming foundation for contemporary living.
The floors muted earthy tones sit effortlessly with the bespoke joinery, neutral colour palette and soft furnishings, creating a harmonious blend of natural tones and textures.
The natural light that floods into the spaces changes the ambience in each room as light levels shift, and by continuing the Bjelin flooring on the staircases, and across the first-floor landings, the homes benefit from an even greater sense of flow and cohesion.

Featured Flooring
Grevie - Earth Grey Select Oak XXL
Grevie is a modern hardened wood floor in a brushed lacquer. The subtle Earth Grey shade has been paired with the Select grading, which is clean-looking and harmonious, creating a classic impression. Made from FSC-certified European oak, the brushed lacquer surface provides a natural wood feel – similar to oiled floors – but the lacquer makes the floors easier to clean and maintain. We recommend brushed lacquered surfaces in all areas of the home.
The 5G® Dry™ floor locking system is well-known for providing the easiest, fastest, and most reliable installation. No tools, glue or nails are needed – just click the pieces together.
All Bjelin’s hardened wood floors use patented technology from Välinge Innovation:
Woodura® – a sustainable solution that creates a floor that’s three times as hard and durable, heating and pressing wood and wood-powder layers together.
