WOOD SLAT in Lake View, Chicago
Purpose Design+Build designs and manages wood slat projects in Lake View, Chicago. Wood slat features add warmth and rhythm to a wall, ceiling, or room divider. Purpose Design+Build designs the spacing, species, and finish, then builds and installs it clean.
Lake View is a dense, family-and-professional neighborhood of frame houses, greystones, and converted condos stretching toward the lake. Most homes here are frame houses, greystones, and condos, built between 1900 and the 1920s, with plaster walls, shared party walls, and many condo conversions.
Wood slat over plaster walls needs solid backing and careful outlet cutouts, and we size the slat rhythm to the room's existing proportions. Dense blocks and condo conversions mean association rules and shared walls shape scope, so we confirm what's structural and what's owned before design.
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.
