Chamfering

Carolina Timberworks

Timber that has been planed has a sharp edge where two faces meet. Chamfering is simply planing off that sharp edge and can be either through chamfering, or stopped chamfering. A timber with a through chamfer is a timber than been chamfered for its full length. In a timber with a stopped chamfer, the chamfer is stopped a prescribed distance from timber joinery (as shown in this photograph). It's our preferred chamfer, and we think it adds a nice shadow line and an elegant subtle detail to timber frames. No one knows why timbers were first chamfered, but there are two schools of thought. One theory is that the knife edge of a timber became very dry and could catch fire more easily. Others believe that chamfering was decoration–a way to make a timber frame look more finished and less rustic. Either way, it's much nicer to rub your hand on a chamfered post than risk a splinter from the sharp edge of an unchamfered timber. © Carolina Timberworks

Pacific Heights Collected Contemporary

Regan Baker Design Inc.

Intentional. Elevated. Artisanal. With three children under the age of 5, our clients were starting to feel the confines of their Pacific Heights home when the expansive 1902 Italianate across the street went on the market. After learning the home had been recently remodeled, they jumped at the chance to purchase a move-in ready property. We worked with them to infuse the already refined, elegant living areas with subtle edginess and handcrafted details, and also helped them reimagine unused space to delight their little ones. Elevated furnishings on the main floor complement the home’s existing high ceilings, modern brass bannisters and extensive walnut cabinetry. In the living room, sumptuous emerald upholstery on a velvet side chair balances the deep wood tones of the existing baby grand. Minimally and intentionally accessorized, the room feels formal but still retains a sharp edge—on the walls moody portraiture gets irreverent with a bold paint stroke, and on the the etagere, jagged crystals and metallic sculpture feel rugged and unapologetic. Throughout the main floor handcrafted, textured notes are everywhere—a nubby jute rug underlies inviting sofas in the family room and a half-moon mirror in the living room mixes geometric lines with flax-colored fringe. On the home’s lower level, we repurposed an unused wine cellar into a well-stocked craft room, with a custom chalkboard, art-display area and thoughtful storage. In the adjoining space, we installed a custom climbing wall and filled the balance of the room with low sofas, plush area rugs, poufs and storage baskets, creating the perfect space for active play or a quiet reading session. The bold colors and playful attitudes apparent in these spaces are echoed upstairs in each of the children’s imaginative bedrooms.
