This striking waterfront family home sits on over 8 acres of land and overlooks the Rappahannock River and the Chesapeake Bay. The sweeping vistas offer rare views of pristine barrier islands with beautiful beaches. Centered around movement, light, and Zen, the homeowners wanted a home to accept changing experiences, making them move and use the whole house throughout the day. This was achieved by dividing the home into four pavillions: sleeping area, living area, auto/storage area, and working/recreation area. A hall connecting the pavillions is clad in white panels, providing awareness of the transition while linking back to the woven landscape of the home. Simple yet traditional forms with a modern take join the owner’s different aesthetic tastes into a tastefully built home. reSAWN TIMBER co. provided NIGIRI shou sugi ban charred Accoya and MONOGATARI 2.0 shou sugi ban charred Cypress exterior cladding for this modern renovation.

NIGIRI by reSAWN TIMBER co. features charred Accoya wood burnt in the Japanese style of shou sugi ban. NIGIRI can be used for interior or exterior wall cladding. Accoya wood results from 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.

MONOGATARI 2.0 by reSAWN TIMBER co. features charred Cypress burnt in the Japanese style of shou sugi ban. MONOGATARI 2.0 can be used for interior or exterior wall cladding. The burning process accentuates the wood grain and creates varying colors when viewed from different angles and in different light. Cypress is not only a beautiful wood; it is durable and easy to maintain. It contains the natural preservative oil cypressene, making the wood resistant to rot, insects, and decay. This makes Cypress a natural choice in locations with constant heat, humidity, and torrential rains.

Randall Kipp Architecture is a full service Architectural Studio specializing in Residential and light Commercial designs. The design style is modern. The focus is on providing architecture that celebrates an open plan created with the use of simple materials. The work intentionally provides a transparency to the world around it.

Daisy Jacobs ‘studio’, located on an open field in the forests of Vermont, US is a reclusive space to think, paint or write, that offers protection from and exposure to nature at the same time.

DAISY JACOBS was founded in 2016 by Daisy Jacobs and is based in Bern, Switzerland. The studio designs and builds architecture projects and produces art and written works as theoretical research into architecture, space and current cultural conditions. They believe in creating architecture out of its foundation in art, philosophy, craftsmanship and the human body. The approach to the projects is based on the one hand, on the search for the relationships between the human body and its surrounding space. On the other hand, on the impact and possibilities that lie within setting a line, a border or a building into an urban or natural landscape.

Planned to provide a getaway for writers and artists, the cabin is clad with reSAWN’s MATSU shou sugi ban charred Accoya and can entirely open up to the hilly green landscape, while its interior is as white as an empty canvas.

The interior cladding and the built-in furniture were made out of rough sawn timber, the floor was poured as part of the foundation and the exterior facade was clad in reSAWN’s weather-proof burnt Accoya. The Studio is a simple timber frame construction with the roof built out of engineered timber joists. That way the traditional building techniques could be used for this contemporary building.

The studio has been featured in Design Boom, Arch Daily, and Archello.

The concept picks up and enforces the transition from the protective pine trees towards the wide opening into the landscape. The spatial experience creates a continuous balancing act between the perceptions of being lost in nature and being protected by a defined architectural framework.

As the first Guinness brewery on U.S. soil since 1954, the space takes up a massive 62 acres of land, fittingly, on a former beverage manufacturing site.

Diageo, Guinness’s parent company, picked architect Design Collective and general contractor Plano Coudon Construction to build the new taproom and brewery out of the old Seagram’s distillery in Relay, MD.

“Our new brewery in Baltimore will share the spirit of exploration and discovery of its sister brewery in Dublin, hence the name. However, the new brewery will also be a center of exploration and innovation in barrel-aging, as a nod not only to the site’s heritage as a distillery (the visitor center is being built in an old barrel rickhouse) but also to the long tradition Guinness has of aging beer in wood.”
— Diageo

The exterior of the building is clad in reSAWN’s NIGIRI – shou sugi ban charred Accoya wood. NIGIRI can be used for interior or exterior wall cladding. It touches on the growing shift towards sustainably focused wood siding materials that weather naturally in place. NIGIRI is finished with a grey top coat that is specifically designed to minimize the aesthetic impacts of Accoya’s natural weathering to grey. reSAWN’s award-winning charring technique adds depth and dimension to Accoya’s natural grain pattern.

Design Collective is an award-winning multi-disciplinary design firm with a diverse portfolio of successful projects throughout the United States and abroad. The firm offers expertise and national leadership in the disciplines of architecture, planning, urban design, landscape architecture, interior design, and sustainability, ensuring comprehensive design solutions.

Located in the heart of Fells Point, Broadway Market is one of the first public markets in Baltimore, dating back to 1786. In operation before the city’s health department and even the mayor’s office, the markets continue to maintain a tradition for which Baltimore is famous.

In the developing stages of Baltimore, tradespeople needed a common meeting place. Thus, the idea of a market house was born, a public lottery-funded construction which opened in 1763. The markets served as the city’s major source of food and were the destination of farmers from nearby counties to sell livestock and produce.

Today, six Baltimore City Public Markets remain. The markets have evolved over the past two centuries; but they are now, as they have been throughout the city’s history, a significant institution that reflects the past and future character of Baltimore’s neighborhoods.

The markets feature a wide range of products, including local produce, high-quality meats and fresh seafood, Baltimore’s world-famous crabcakes, wine, and cheese. You can also find specialty items unique to each market, such as authentic ethnic delicacies, tripe, beef tongue, rabbit and even muskrat.

PI.KL Architects chose to clad the exterior with reSAWN’s custom shou sugi ban charred Accoya wood which creates a dramatic, modern aesthetic.

reSAWN’s custom charred Accoya® adds a sleek, black aesthetic to the exterior face of the market. Accoya® is wood, but not as you know it. It is modified timber in which a process called acetylation, a cutting-edge patented technology, enables it to it resist rot, defy the elements and stay strong for decades. Guaranteed for 50 years above ground and 25 years in ground or freshwater, its performance and properties are remarkable.

American School – Accoya

By reSAWN TIMBER co. In /  
American School – Hague, The Netherlands
ABOUT THE PROJECT

Originally a 16th century farmhouse called the ‘Ter Weer’ (the farm) has now been revolutionarily restored to incorporate a new complex for the school, creating an inspirational place for children’s education.

This is the third project that architects Kraaijvanger Urbis in Rotterdam have designed and completed using leading C2C Cradle to Cradle Gold certified material Accoya wood.

The school now has a capacity for 250 children ranging from 0 to 6 years including a nursery, 12 classrooms, a gymnasium and a multipurpose room. The new entrance has been designed as a monumental heart between the farm and the ‘ barn ‘to enable synergy between the old and the new.

The architectural team have continued this synergy between the two buildings which can also be felt on the inside and outside.  The new and the old buildings are connected to each other by a stunning bridge into the new atrium and the new building fits well with the barn by applying wood substructures, caps and wood cladding made from Accoya wood, the leading modified wood product.

The former barn houses, now the classrooms which are built on an inclined slope so they all receive enough daylight to create a perfect educational environment for the children. The classrooms are characterised by the amount of natural light shining through, the use of healthy materials and the direct relationship with the surrounding landscape.

The farmhouse joins the administrative functions of the school, a dining room for 100 children, a kitchen, a nursery, and a library.

The sports facilities are housed in a separate building where there is a gymnasium, changing rooms, a canteen and the clubhouse of the local handball association. The building is designed as two interlocking structures with sloping green roofs, matching the shape of the extension and rural character of the area. A large window is placed in the gymnasium overlooking the connecting bridge to the main building.

The building is fully integrated into the environment and the surrounding landscape. The design of the landscape is based on the objectives of the school which gives the young children a healthy environment to play and learn about sustainability. By using water, natural materials and to show how energy is generated the children are surrounded in a natural way with this theme. The building makes use of solar energy, LED fixtures, cold and heat storage, wastewater recycling and Cradle to Cradle materials such as Accoya wood which is used as the cladding, window frames and roofing.

Around 130m3 of Accoya wood was supplied by Dutch distributor Boogaerdt. The construction company was Blanksma Bouw and the windows were manufactured by Webo joinery.

Accoya meets the needs of the client because of its sustainability credentials such as FSC certification and Cradle to Cradle Gold certification, which is essential for many projects in Holland and throughout the world.

The Haven – Accoya

By reSAWN TIMBER co. In /  
The Haven, Norfolk, UK
ABOUT THE PROJECT

The client’s vision for this house and boathouse at Horning on the Norfolk Broads was to provide an exemplary building that is sustainable and graceful in design, complementing and enhancing the setting and providing a legacy for future generations.

The extensive use of wood cladding and decking were key elements of LSI architects’ design. However, given that ‘The Haven’ is in a flood zone, surrounded on three sides by water and constantly exposed to a high moisture content in the air, LSI needed to find a wood that they could be confident would deliver durability, dimensional stability and aesthetics. Accoya wood presented the perfect answer.

Accoya, supplied by International Timber, was used for cladding and decking. The glue laminated Accoya wood for the curved rear screen was manufactured by Newnham & Abel Ltd and hand finished with a protective merbau-coloured coating from WoodGuard by Guard Industrie. The same finish was factory applied to the cladding.

Red Beach House – Accoya

By reSAWN TIMBER co. In /  
Red Beach House – Auckland, NZ
ABOUT THE PROJECT

Accoya weatherboards have been realised on a  private residence designed by Architecture 37 Limited, at Red Beach, Auckland, NZ.

Designed to fit in a coastal context the beachfront home is designed to maximise views yet provide comfortable outdoor spaces that can still be used when the sea breeze makes its presence felt.

The plan surrounds a central north facing pool with bedroom wings clearly defined at each end. The coastal tradition of the Accoya weatherboards is observed with stone anchor points at entry and chimneys either end. A living wall softens the road facade, while louvered elements filter sun and privacy.

Distributed by Timspec, Accoya was chosen for its durability and stability benefits which are required for coastal settings.

Profiled to Bevel Back profile with 158mm cover, the Accoya was band sawn face finish and painted with a colour called Bokara Grey (LRV 8).

Coastal Residence – Accoya

By reSAWN TIMBER co. In /  
Coastal Property – Belgium
ABOUT THE PROJECT

Accoya® has been used in the construction of a large beach development on the Belgian coastline.

Van Steenberge supplied the Accoya wood for the property, which was finished in 2013, located in the De Haan area of Belgium and is situated on the North Sea coast.  Given the exposed location of the property, builders Verhaeghe Algemene Bouwonderneming wanted to use a more durable alternative to traditional western red cedar.

Over 330m2 of Accoya wood was used to the clad the exterior of the property.  The use of Accoya allows the building to withstand the winter storms and gales which the area is prone to.  Accoya’s application also comes with a 50 year guarantee when used above ground.
