Ann Arbor, Michigan (2018)
Project Size: 120 SF
Exposed began with the removal of obstructions from an existing residential office. The wall, bookshelf, carpet and dated acoustic ceiling tile came out, revealing a beautiful douglas fir ceiling. Three of the exposed joists above were converted into a recessed LED lighting system and painted drywall was installed between each ceiling joist to give the appearance of floating and height. A simple, elevated vertical grain douglas fir surface atop a painted steel frame clear spans providing a flexible desk and workspace. The existing red oak flooring was patched and refinished after being revealed under the carpet.
