Just a block away from the San Miguel River, this 4,700 square foot new-build features HOWAITO shou sugi ban charred Cypress and MATSU shou sugi ban charred Accoya exterior wood cladding. This residence is nestled away in a neighborhood near all that Telluride has to offer. A mere few blocks away, there is a Gondola that can take you to the surrounding mountains, trails, and ski resort, all while still being a short walk from the local breweries and eateries. The property features rare views of the ski area, Bear Creek, and the San Miguel River corridor.

MATSU by reSAWN TIMBER co. features charred Accoya wood burnt in the Japanese style of shou sugi ban, and can be used for interior and exterior applications.

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.

HOWAITO by reSAWN TIMBER co. features charred Cypress burnt in the Japanese style of shou sugi ban, and can be used for interior and exterior applications.

HOWAITO is made with Cypress sourced from the Southern United States. With its legendary beauty and natural durability, Cypress has long been a staple as an exterior wood siding product. Because Cypress generates its own preservative oil, called cypressene, it’s an ideal wood for locations with constant heat, humidity, and torrential rains.

Tommy Hein‘s work reflects a deep appreciation for the potential of architecture to enhance one’s life through the creation of built forms and the organization of space. They are dedicated to creating unique buildings appropriate to their environment as well as their cultural context. Each project grows from its site, embracing the nature of materials and light. Environmental and Social Responsibility are their highest priorities; they practice green building construction and passive solar design on all of their projects.

The Saltonstall Foundation for the Arts supports New York State artists and writers at their beautiful, 200-acre property in Ithaca, New York. To date, they have provided residences to almost 400 artists and writers and given over half a million dollars in grants to individual artists and writers of New York State. This building hosts its summer residency program, self-directed, do-it-yourself retreats, and also serves as a public gallery. Founder Connie Saltonstall shaped an idea that would be a guide for the formation of this foundation. Connie especially hoped her inspiring home and property would become a retreat where artists and writers could live and work, and that dream is now a picturesque reality.

The Foundation’s commitment to sustainability included reSAWN’s shou sugi ban charred siding. The existing siding was reused on the backside of the new addition to create as little waste as possible. The new MATSU slat facade creates a sun-shading device, making the hottest months of the year more bearable. The building also features solar-powered elements, recycled materials, and transom windows and skylights.

The custom shou sugi ban charred exterior cladding covers the majority of the building. For a similar look to this custom charred cladding, see MONOGATARI 2.0.  It was also utilized in slats covering the windows as well as the barn doors to enter the building. Using a mix of two widths of S4S boards, a beautiful aesthetic is created that extends throughout the original structure and the addition. Looked at as an outer skin that wraps the facade of the addition, the shou sugi ban exterior cladding folds diagonally to form an outdoor amphitheater and slowly thins into a tail-like wall that lines the path leading to the existing main house. The MATSU slats helped join the existing building to the new addition that creates the amphitheater.

MATSU by reSAWN TIMBER co. features charred Accoya wood burnt in the Japanese style of shou sugi ban and can be used for interior or exterior wall cladding. reSAWN takes great pride in designing products on high-performance, stable domestic softwoods, and contemporary modified woods. In addition, charring adds an extra layer of protection to wood’s structural durability. The shou sugi ban process carbonizes the wood’s surface and creates an outer char layer that protects against rot, insects, and moisture-related decay in exterior applications.

From the scale of the city to the detail, CODA designs unique, site-responsive, and sustainable solutions that balance function and desire. ​ Their award-winning firm is known for their use of an innovative material palette, as well as for their commitment to a dynamic interaction between the architecture and its inhabitants over time. Since 2008, CODA has designed inventive solutions for a range of programs, from art installations to houses, from religious and public buildings to housing, and from furniture to entire city design.

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. Often the buildings are situated on or near a body of water.

Located on a rocky plateau in Santa Rosa Mountains, CA, this magnificent residence aptly named High Desert Retreat features reSAWN’s YOSHIMI shou sugi ban charred FSC®-Certified Accoya® interior and exterior cladding. This retreat offers captivating views of the Coachella Valley and the San Jacinto Mountains. The color palette of the home contrasts with the surrounding desert landscape’s lighter palette.

The home features crisp geometry that does not interfere but enhances the surrounding landscape. The exterior is clad with burnt and wire brushed wood cladding – YOSHIMI – to provide a highly textured finish. The benefits of Accoya wood, such as insect and rot resistance, are an excellent match for the area, including the climate’s nuances such as significant temperature changes. The interior of the home features a mix of concrete, wood cladding, stone, and steel.

Accoya is wood, but not as you know it. It is a modified timber in which a process called acetylation, a cutting-edge patented technology, enables it to 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.

Shou sugi ban Accoya is the 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 transition to a beautiful weathered look seamlessly. All of our charred shou sugi ban Accoya products are FSC® certified.

Aidlin Darling Design bridges the demands of artistic endeavor, environmental responsibility, functional pragmatics, and financial considerations. As a multidisciplinary firm, they believe that innovations discovered through the process of design and construction can be applied to projects of any scale, use, or purpose.

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.
