ABOUT THE PROJECT
Located a brief ferry ride away from North Haven, NY, Shelter Island is a secluded coastal town with houses overlooking the water and ample places to watch the sunset. Upon arriving at the residence, an ivy archway with a rustic wooden door begins the path to the pool house that features reSAWN TIMBER co.’s MONOGATARI shou sugi ban charred cypress exterior siding.
Launched in 2003, NeoCon East has positioned itself as the premier design expo and conference for interiors on the east coast. After twelve years in Baltimore, MD, NeoCon East changed its location to Philadelphia, PA in 2015. A successful first year convinced the conference organizers to once again host the trade show in the ‘City of Brotherly Love’. Just an hour drive down the Pennsylvania Turnpike, reSAWN TIMBER co. was excited to bring its wide array of shou sugi ban, flooring wall cladding, and furniture collections to the Pennsylvania Convention Center for NeoCon East 2016.
CoreLife Eatery has locations throughout New York and Ohio, and is focused on providing customers with a wholistic eating experience that nourishes the body and soul. reSAWN’s ORENJI shou sugi ban charred cypress wall cladding is featured throughout multiple CoreLife locations as an accent to the restaurant’s orange and blue design theme.
With a primary goal of revitalizing Boston’s South End neighborhood, Elkus Manfredi Architects created a design aesthetic that focuses on returning the area to a lively, dynamic mixed-use community. Drawing inspiration from former building owner–the Boston Herald–Ink Block has become a pillar in Boston’s revitalization project with classic Bostonian motifs and contemporary, edgy design features.
With simple, subtle color notes, Osprey Software wanted a wood with a natural color and enhanced grain. reSAWN’s REED features antique reclaimed hemlock that is wire brushed to accentuate the unique grain pattern of hemlock.
Specified for ceiling cladding and wall cladding, REED can be found in reSAWN’s enCORE collection. The enCORE collection is made up entirely of different reclaimed wood species that include heart pine, oak, barn siding, chestnut, hemlock, and hickory. With a design aesthetic that includes dark and light grey colors, the natural coloring of the REED feature wall truly stands out. Hemlock’s unique grain pattern becomes very clear with the overhead, track lighting.

When thinking about wood as a sustainable building material, many people jump to the idea that manufacturing a finished wood product causes mass deforestation, a decrease of the total number of trees, and an increase of total carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. On the surface, it seems to be sound logic to think that more wood products equal more environmental harm, but wood is a living material that maintains the carbon dioxide it absorbed into its trunk as a tree throughout its product lifecycle as a building material.
The Value of a Natural Product is Without Equal
