Edgewater is a lakefront neighborhood mixing vintage courtyard apartment buildings, classic greystones, and single-family homes west of Broadway. Most homes here are vintage greystones, courtyard buildings, and lakefront single-family homes, built between 1905 and the 1920s, with original plaster, hardwood floors, and a lot of condo-converted units.
Wood slat over plaster walls needs solid backing and careful outlet cutouts, and we size the slat rhythm to the room's existing proportions. Much of Edgewater is association-governed, so feature work often needs board sign-off and a freight-elevator window scheduled up front.
Wood slat work lives or dies on the details: slat depth, the gap rhythm, how the run turns a corner or meets the ceiling, and the species and finish. We design all of it before we cut, so the piece reads intentional rather than applied. Slat features work as a wall treatment, a warm ceiling, or a see-through divider that keeps light moving between rooms. We fabricate and install, handling the backing, lighting integration, and outlet cutouts.
