Interior and joinery detail
Built-in joinery, curved plasterwork and the shadow gaps and set-outs that decide whether a room reads as finished.
Most of what people respond to in a finished house is joinery, and most of what makes joinery look right happens before anything is installed. Set-outs, shadow gaps, how a run of shelving meets a wall that is not quite square, where a join lands relative to a window reveal.
None of it appears on a drawing at the level it has to be built. It gets resolved on site, by the people holding the tools, which is why we keep the same crew across a job.
The curved balustrade here is a good example. A curve in plaster is easy to draw and slow to build, and the only way it looks effortless afterwards is if the framing behind it was set out properly weeks earlier.
