Lincoln Square is a tree-lined neighborhood with deep German heritage, known for its solid brick bungalows and two-flats and a strong sense of block. Most homes here are brick bungalows and two-flats, built between the 1910s and 1930s, with plaster walls and heavy original woodwork still intact in most homes.
Wood slat over plaster walls needs solid backing and careful outlet cutouts, and we size the slat rhythm to the room's existing proportions. The community is preservation-minded and the original woodwork is strong, so new work is expected to match the era rather than modernize over it.
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.
