WOOD SLAT in Old Town, Chicago

Old Town is one of the city's oldest neighborhoods, full of Victorian townhomes and historic frame houses where preservation matters. Most homes here are Victorian townhomes and historic frame houses, built in the mid-to-late 1800s, with some of the oldest framing in the city and protected original detail.
Wood slat over plaster walls needs solid backing and careful outlet cutouts, and we size the slat rhythm to the room's existing proportions. Old Town has real preservation expectations and landmark-district blocks, so original detail is matched carefully and street-visible work is planned around review.
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.
