A few weeks ago we delivered the last of the Plyboo Millwork to the Casa Q site. Last week, while delivering other millwork, we were able to see the site carpenters finishing up the install. It’s great to see it finally come together on site. We’re looking forward to seeing it again after the trades finish the final touches in the building.

Looking over details
2nd Floor Bulletin Board is wrapped up!
For the last few months we’ve been hard at work finalizing all the details for this unique project. We’re fabricating all the millwork for the 1st and 2nd floor lobbies in a residential low-rise in Chicago’s Pilsen Neighborhood. This is our first time working on a LEED project & our first time working with Bamboo. The material used is Plyboo Brand ¾” Vertical Grain Plywood in Amber and Chocolate; the different colors and linear grain will complement the contemporary design of the lobby. The 1st floor lobby features: a detail panel with letters ‘CASA Q’ Cut out on CNC, a mailbox enclosure, 8’ wall paneling, a 17’ bench with floating geometric protrusions, and a coordinating message center. The 2nd floor lobby features 8’ wall paneling and a cork bulletin board.
