North Center is a family-oriented neighborhood of Chicago bungalows and single-family homes on stable residential blocks. Most homes here are bungalows and single-family homes, built between the 1910s and 1930s, with plaster walls and largely intact original bungalow layouts.
Wood slat over plaster walls needs solid backing and careful outlet cutouts, and we size the slat rhythm to the room's existing proportions. Homes here have intact original layouts, so the work is about improving daily function without fighting the bungalow's bones.
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.
