Wicker Park is a neighborhood of Victorian mansions, workers' cottages, and converted lofts where old and new housing sit side by side. Most homes here are Victorian homes, cottages, and lofts, built in the 1880s and 1890s, with everything from ornate original millwork to exposed-brick loft shells.
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 and new sit block to block here, so we're either matching ornate 1890s detail or building clean-lined for a loft, and the design direction changes with the address.
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.
