Floor board transition

[twiglets]

hello,

I have taken a wall out between the galley kitchen and dining room. The dining room is suspended timber floor. The kitchen area is a solid concrete floor. I’d like to keep the floorboards currently in the dining room and find a way of also laying a solid timer floor over the concrete in the kitchen in a way that transitions nicely. It doesn’t necessarily have to match and may make sense to deliberately run the boards at right angle for example. Does anyone have any experience of this? I can grind the concrete down a bit if needed. Cheers.

You have not mentioned any height difference between floors ?

Good point. The wall is only partially out. Will update when fully out and can see the difference.

That would be hard, dusty and lengthy work..
