From open framing to the finished ceiling.
This project started with a completely opened-up ceiling and ended with a fully custom architectural beam system built on site by Axeman Woodworking.
We fabricated and installed the entire beam detail using poplar — including the framing, beam wraps, trim details and the custom intersections required to follow the different roof lines.
No prefabricated beam system. Every piece was measured, cut, fitted and installed specifically for this space.
