Beech shoji screens guest room closet

Beech closet and interior window shoji - though they almost look like natural Cherry. I think the combination of the wood tones and wall colors is very appealing.
Many thanks for our client for these pictures.

Thank you to our client for pictures!
The kumiko pattern they wanted is similar to other shoji in their home. The far right shoji screen hides a mirror, which I thought was interesting. All shoji stack to the right out of the opening using upper roller tracking with floor tracking.

Shoji screens to be used as a room divider. Built in Beech with Waterfall Warlon and inlaid Japanese Cherry door pulls. Elvis stepped in for scale - he is 6 feet tall.

Ed used different backgrounds to show how translucent the Warlon is.
This is a new item for us. I think Warlon calls it 'rain' but as we're in the PNW and get plenty of that - Waterfall just sounded better to us.

I added this picture since it shows the stack of wood ready to go through the planer, the next step in becoming kumiko for the next order.

ALLOY Architecture + Construction

 

Something a bit different, designed for a window opening by our client.
The proportions worked out really well.

Sliding shoji screens

As usual, Elvis stepped in for scale, he is 6 ft tall. Shoji size is 33" x 75-9/16" x 1-3/8".

This shows the detail of our tapered half lap joinery. This is the backside of the joint.
Note in the photo below how the joint is hidden.

Beech shoji screens
 Beech shoji screens to span a 144-1/2" doorway, sliding into a double pocket when open.
We only had room to set up two of the doors. These will be joined to make one large shoji.
Elvis stepped in for scale. He is 6' tall.

Custom shoji screens

 

Each pair of shoji will be joined to function as one sliding door using the hardware pictured above. The picture below is of the joinery strap at the top of the shoji. These pictures are from a different order which is why the wood (Cherry not Beech) is different. Client has their own tracking. Pictures of Rockridge on the portfolio page.
