Design Shoji Featured Project

News 2009

Open Gridwork Doors

Charles Sutter Clark challenged us to create these intricate shoji screens. Designed to add elegance to the entry, the doors add a sense of privacy without closing the space in. A wonderful play of shadows and light is created whenever these shoji panels are slid past one another.

The imported hardwood we use gives the grid sufficient strength the carry out this design without breakage or bowing; the wood is inherently strong and stable enough to span these distances without distortion or additional horizontal support.

Another advantage is that we can make trim up to 22’ long in one continuous piece. The beauty of this detail is shown above in the 16’ long top fascia.

Our goal is to make shoji that you will never get tired of or wear out. Every door we build is unique and we appreciate the chance to help make your vision a reality.

Design Shoji, celebrating 28 years of award-winning shoji.. “What can we build for you?”
