Bucktown is a neighborhood blending original workers' cottages with new-construction infill on tight urban lots. Most homes here are cottages and new-construction infill, built in the 1890s, with modest original trim on the cottages and modern millwork in the infill.
Wood slat over plaster walls needs solid backing and careful outlet cutouts, and we size the slat rhythm to the room's existing proportions. On the cottages we match 1890s trim; on the newer infill we build to modern millwork, and the tight lots make delivery and staging deliberate.
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.
