OUR STORY

Since 2014, Forty Third Place has served the most discerning clients in the DC Metro area. Blake Sloane works from his home studio on all manner of projects.  Woodwork and carpentry, design, and public art are among our specialties. We are known for indulging even the most whimsical and unconventional projects.

Blake is a carpenter and woodworker by trade. In Chicago, he made a name for himself making beautiful things out of salvaged and reclaimed wood and helped establish the RX Made brand, a part of the Rebuilding Exchange, alongside Cynthia Main, Elise Zelechowski and Meegan Czop. 

In 2014, Blake and his wife relocated after more than a decade in Chicago, back to their home base in PG County, Maryland.  What began as a lighthearted rehab of a newly purchased 1930's home--set to 80's music--turned into a year long epic project. He delighted in taking the time to really think about the space, adding creative custom features, and carefully sourcing and selecting meaningful and responsible materials.  Blake has become known for applying this same care to all of our projects.
