01 — SURFACE
Texture coats
Mineral plaster mixed on site and worked by hand, so the wall carries depth instead of a printed pattern. Breathable, wipeable, and repairable in place.

WHAT WE MAKE
Coat it, or line it.
Both start the same way: we come to your room, read the light, and leave samples on the actual wall before anyone commits.
02 — RELIEF
Wood slat panels
Solid battens on an acoustic felt backing. We set the reveal to your ceiling height so the rhythm lands right, then oil-finish them on site.
TeakWhite oakAshCharred pine
WOOD SLATS
Battens, set to
your ceiling.
We size the batten and the reveal to the room, not to a catalogue. Panels come backed with acoustic felt, so a hard living room stops ringing the moment they go up.

HOW IT GOES
Four steps, about a week.
Nothing gets applied until you have seen it dry on your own wall, in your own light.
01
Measure & mix
We read the room — light, height, humidity — and mix three candidate finishes to your brief.
02
Sample on the wall
A 300 mm patch of each goes up on the actual wall. Live with them for a week before choosing.
03
Prep the surface
Levelling, priming, and for slats the batten frame and acoustic felt go up. Dust-sheeted throughout.
04
Apply & cure
Two or three coats worked by hand, or panels fixed and oiled. We come back at day 30 to check the cure.
