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.

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 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.

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.

The most recent collaboration between Ross Barney Architects and McDonald’s unveils a Net-Zero Energy restaurant at the Walt Disney World Resort, featuring over 15,000 sq. ft. of reSAWN’s HALLO shou sugi ban charred Kebony wood.
Aiming to become the first Net Zero Energy quick service restaurant, McDonald’s wanted to stick to its commitment to building a better future through “Scale for Good” when building this Disney Flagship location. Incorporating visible and impactful symbols of change, the restaurant deploys architecture and technology to firmly place itself in the future.
“Under a shed clad in solar panels, the restaurant is a sustainable and healthy response to the Florida climate. Energy consumption is reduced by optimizing building and kitchen systems. On-site generation strategies include: 18,727 square feet of photovoltaic panels, 4,809 square feet of glazing integrated photovoltaic panels (BiPV), and 25 off-the-grid parking lot lights produce more energy than the restaurant uses.” – Ross Barney Architects
HALLO by reSAWN TIMBER co. features Kebony shou sugi ban exterior siding that’s specifically designed to create a beautifully charred aesthetic. HALLO can be used for exterior siding.
Kebony shou sugi ban exterior siding is a beautiful wood recommended by leading architects. It is sustainable, durable, and requires no maintenance beyond normal cleaning. Kebony’s performance has been proven in a variety of applications including decking and cladding.
Developed in Norway, the Kebony technology is an environmentally friendly, patented process, which enhances the properties of sustainable softwood with a bio-based liquid. The process permanently modifies the wood cell walls giving Kebony premium hardwood characteristics and a rich brown color. After exposure to sun and rain, the wood develops a natural silver-gray patina.
