This unique project consists of two playhouse pods clad with Accoya wood in a  rainscreen application. Only one of the pods is pictured – the second is currently beginning the build process. Once completed,  the pods will be set into the niche of a retaining wall in a beautifully landscaped property in Boulder, Colorado. A live roof and a beautiful water feature will also be part of the completed project.

Shou sugi ban Accoya is a combination of high-performance modified wood and an award-winning charred technique. Inspired by an ancient Japanese process that dates back to the 1700s, shou sugi ban enhances the exterior performance and aesthetic value of natural wood products. Due to the enhanced durability of Accoya, a dense outer char layer allows the wood to seamlessly transition to a beautiful weathered look.
