Lima Inside the Beltway


Sure, you could travel to Lima, grab a fuel-guzzling plane to Cusco, and ride a ramshackle bus that probably runs on coal tar and endangered scarlet macaw tears up to Machu Picchu, where, in an altitude-induced fugue, you’ll most likely step on a rare and beautiful Andean mountain cat, but why go to the trouble? Peru can come to you, with the understated style and environmentally conscious élan of reclaimed pine timbers and white oak flooring from Urban Evolutions.

Peruvian Connection, a retailer of exquisitely crafted Peruvian clothing, accessories, and home décor, chose Urban Evolutions to provide the flooring for its newest location in Washington, D.C. The shop also has locations in Kansas City, Santa Fe, Manchester Center, Vermont, and, of course, Henley-On-Thames, England, where it sells its wonderful wares, all of which are completely original and most of which have been crafted exclusively for Peruvian Connection.

No doubt the store sought to bring the same distinction and unique flair that it’s become famous for to its interiors. To that end, our white oak flooring acts as the perfect base for the colors and textures that fill the space.
