WOOD SLAT in Andersonville, Chicago

Andersonville is a historic Swedish enclave on the North Side, known for its brick two-flats, vintage single-family homes, and a design-conscious community along the Clark Street corridor. Most homes here are brick two-flats and early-1900s single-family homes, built in the early 1900s, with plaster-and-lath walls and original wood trim behind most finishes.
Wood slat over plaster walls needs solid backing and careful outlet cutouts, and we size the slat rhythm to the room's existing proportions. Blocks here are tight and tree-lined, so we plan material delivery and staging on the side streets rather than assume driveway access.
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.
