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.
