WOOD SLAT in North Side, Chicago
Purpose Design+Build designs and manages wood slat projects in North Side, 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.
North Side is the classic residential heart of the city, full of Chicago bungalows, two-flats, and frame houses across close-knit blocks. Most homes here are Chicago bungalows, two-flats, and frame houses, built between the 1910s and 1940s, with plaster walls and, in the bungalows, original oak trim and built-in cabinetry worth matching.
Wood slat over plaster walls needs solid backing and careful outlet cutouts, and we size the slat rhythm to the room's existing proportions. Bungalow layouts have defined rooms and low horizontal lines, so we size features to the existing trim height rather than fight the proportions.
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.
