Three years after installation, the IKIGAI Shou Sugi Ban charred Accoya® exterior cladding and roofing on the Six Square House continues to exhibit remarkable performance. Despite exposure to diverse weather conditions, the cladding maintains its initial aesthetic, highlighting the exceptional durability and stability of Accoya wood. IKIGAI – FSC®-Certified, Shou Sugi Ban Accoya® wood can be used for interior or exterior cladding. IKIGAI is finished with a dark gray topcoat designed to protect the wall cladding as it naturally weathers over time. reSAWN’s award-winning charring technique adds depth and dimension to Accoya’s natural grain pattern. Accoya’s modification process eliminates the need to refinish the cladding. However, to get the day one look back, the IKIGAI top coat can be reapplied.

During summer 2023, VERSO Works transformed the Six Square House into a captivating art gallery, titling it ‘The Bridge’. VERSO Works is a traveling furniture and design gallery that seeks to reimagine conventional retail experiences through unique site-specific exhibitions. The exhibit features creative work from 36 designers and artists from countries around the world, including Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. The 3,500 sq. ft. house offers an abundance of natural light and open areas making it an inviting environment for visitors and the perfect backdrop for the artwork. The exhibit gained attention from publications such as IFDM, Design Boom, and HypeBeast.

reSAWN TIMBER co. is dedicated to providing high-performance, long-lasting wood roof cladding material and has developed its product line based on observations of experienced industry leaders and a first-hand understanding of architectural market needs. If you’d like to learn more about using our timber cladding as a roofing material, get in touch with us. We’re happy to assist.

Six Square House is located in Bridgehampton, New York. The home is made of six 24’ x 24’ modules that all feature gabled geometry and a complex-looking roof design that’s shaped like an inverted V. The modules create a seamless and uninterrupted design between the roof and siding of the home. The simple exterior materials accentuate the roof geometry from all viewpoints. The roof composition translates into the home’s interior, creating six distinct areas. 

The 3,500 square foot house contains two bedrooms, three bathrooms, a kitchen, living spaces, an outdoor porch, and a garage. For entertaining, the living spaces open directly onto the yard, featuring a central court, meadow, and pool house. The kitchen looks into the triangular court, with views of the open porch and surrounding landscape.

IKIGAI by reSAWN TIMBER co. features charred Accoya wood burnt in the Japanese style of shou sugi ban. IKIGAI can be used for interior or exterior wall cladding.  Accoya wood is the result of decades of research and development that has brought together a long-established, extensively proven wood modification technique and leading-edge patented technology – acetylation to create a high-performance wood, ideal for outdoor use and challenging applications.

This home sits on a highly exposed corner lot. The owners wanted to have privacy while taking advantage of natural light and exterior landscape. Incorporating the surrounding nature while still being private was a challenge, the finished result is a harmonious balance of nature, privacy, and design.

The rooms wrap around the centrally located garden and act as an outdoor living area. The secondary gardens and surrounding landscape have various native plants and trees that receive most of their irrigation through rainwater catch basins. Spaces are directed towards the lake, meadow, hills, and observatory views while also looking across the gardens. The exterior facade features reSAWN TIMBER co’s custom shou sugi ban charred cypress wood cladding.

The Garden House has expanded the international legacy of environmentally advanced architecture in Los Angeles by applying natural lighting, passive ventilation, water conservation, and many active technologies.

The work of ANX begins with a fundamental optimism with regard to the continued value and impact that design and architecture have on our cities and their inhabitants. Their approach is positive, opportunistic, and intellectually flexible with every theoretical and commissioned project – both large and small. Their belief is that one can affect significant change through a careful analysis and deconstruction of project conditions, and the application of a thoughtful, conceptually rigorous process.

Situated at Lake Oswego, Oregon this modern residence features reSAWN’s NIGIRI charred Accoya wood. Inspired by a Southern California Aesthetic, this custom build home by Vanillawood aims to capture maximum natural light while taking advantage of the private wooded property. Dramatic architectural arches are repeated in the front and back.

Home to many Portland-area business leaders and professionals, Lake Oswego is known for its natural beauty, recreational and cultural amenities, and sense of community.

reSAWN takes great pride in designing products on high-performance, stable domestic softwoods and contemporary modified woods. Charring adds an extra layer of protection to wood’s structural durability. The process carbonizes the wood’s surface and creates an outer char layer that protects against rot, insects, and moisture related decay in exterior applications.

At Vanillawood they create, design, build and furnish spaces with an aesthetic that has been indelibly informed by their time living in Italy (where the husband and wife Co-Founders met), New York, Los Angeles and now Portland. After opening their doors in 2016 they are now a bustling, full-service design/build and interior design firm with a brick-and-mortar storefront and online shop where they get to work with an amazing team.
