(Step 2) Install 2 x 4 furring strips milled to exact tolerances.

(Step 3) Hang fabric between furring strips.

(Step 4) Sort through material and find best matches.

(Step 5) Start installing—proceed with caution.

(Step 6) Keep going.

(Step 7) Make crazy concealed flipper doors where access is needed.

(Step 8) Admire how crazy flipper doors close and completely disappear.

(Step 9) Scribe fit around steel columns.

(Step 10) Do this for about 5 months, until complete. (To be continued.....)

Newest Work

These are some pictures of a sofa and bed that we built for a client here in SE Portland:

The sofa is made from walnut. Thanks to Think Design for the custom upholstery!

We wanted the silhouette of the side table to match that of the upholstery. The table and cabinet are made from solid walnut.

Two sliding doors reveal interior storage space.

Overall view of the bed, shelving, and soffit.

Detail of the corner of the bed—this was hand shaped and sanded to fit the contour of the mattress.

On each side of the bed we built custom shelving, installed into the drywall nook.

Finley Coast house Progress

The finley ceiling is going in. This is the first of 15,000 lineal feet of riftsawn white oak!

The first step was to stretch black speaker fabric over the entire dropped ceiling.

Each light, speaker, and fire sprinkler fits perfectly within the randomized pattern. Our tolerances for this job is less than 1/16" over 50'.
