Designed by IN-Studio, the Four Points House in Sharon, CT, meticulously embraces its four distinct views: mountains to the west, a meadow to the south, a farm to the north, and a forest to the east. Each carefully curated space within the residence is strategically oriented to capture and celebrate these natural panoramas, fostering an immersive connection to the surrounding landscape. The charred modified woods, achieved through the ancient Japanese technique of Shou Sugi Ban, echo the natural textures of the surroundings, further enhancing the overall aesthetic harmony of the house with its environment

Shou Sugi Ban represents more than a wood treatment; it embodies the enduring beauty and resilience of natural materials. Our meticulous charring process achieves diverse aesthetic effects, from a deep, uniform char to a lighter, brushed finish that highlights the wood’s natural grain. When applied to modified woods like Accoya® and Kebony®, the charred layer enhances durability, provides superior protection against rot and decay, and preserves both the wood’s integrity and aesthetic appeal.

Project Needs: The clients were in search of a low-maintenance material with consistent coloration. Intrigued by reSAWN TIMBER co.’s offerings, they turned their attention to exploring the charred product line.

Projects Solutions: A comprehensive mockup was prepared to evaluate the performance and weathering of various charred products. Following a year-long observation, the clients opted for VETTE Charred Kebony® and CUSTOM Charred Accoya® due to their superior weathering performance, distinctive texture, tonalities, and warranties. On-site support by a specification consultant ensured seamless communication throughout the project, from pre-order inquiries to post-installation assistance.

Project Results: The extensive benefits of charred Accoya® and Kebony® wood allowed the clients to confidently choose the right cladding material for their home. The materials performed as designed and will continue to maintain their integrity for years to come.

Perched atop a scenic vineyard in Sonoma County’s historic Alexander Valley, the Soda Rock Project embodies California Modernism. Lush vegetation, expansive outdoor spaces, and a natural wood facade create a sophisticated yet comfortable retreat, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living. The left wing of the house, clad in charred Accoya®—a specially treated wood known for its exceptional durability and resistance to the elements—overlooks an infinity pool that seems to melt into the sun-drenched vineyards beyond. The wood tones complement the lush greenery and mimic the textures of nearby grapevines and river streams.

The Soda Rock Project’s exterior features a CUSTOM charred Accoya® wood cladding, crafted using the ancient Japanese Shou Sugi Ban technique by reSAWN TIMBER co. This process enhances the wood’s natural durability and creates a rich aesthetic, ensuring longevity for exterior applications. The charred layer over Accoya® wood offers exceptional weather resistance and dimensional stability, making it an ideal choice for this location.

Project Needs: Inspired by reSAWN TIMBER co.’s Shou Sugi Ban product line, the architect met with a specification consultant to delve deeper into our offerings. After reviewing several species and finish options, Accoya® emerged as the ideal choice to fulfill the architect’s vision for the project.

Project Solutions: Zimmerman Architects ordered a variety of samples and a 30 sq.ft. mock-up to review several Charred Accoya® products. Through careful observation and discussions with a local specification consultant, they selected a custom finish that best suited their desired aesthetics. Accoya’s warranty and natural durability were key factors in their decision.

Project Results: The meticulous selection of Accoya® wood brought the architect’s vision to life for the Soda Rock Project. By providing the client with comprehensive product information, they successfully achieved their design goals and delivered a project that exceeded expectations. We’re honored to continue this collaborative relationship and look forward to partnering with them on upcoming projects.

Nestled against Bald Mountain in Ketchum, ID, the River Ranch Residence is situated on a picturesque 5-acre parcel, beautifully framed by a surrounding river. Clad in light-toned Accoya® and charred Cypress, the home’s exterior echoes the natural palette of the surrounding forest. This thoughtful material selection fosters a strong connection between the residence and its environment. Built to endure Ketchum’s dramatic climate fluctuations, the inherent qualities of Accoya® and charred Cypress mirror the enduring strength and integrity of the mountainous landscape. This harmonious blend of design and environment fosters a deep sense of permanence and connection to the natural world.

Cypress is notable for its consistent color, density, and hardness, making it an ideal building material for challenging climate conditions. Enhanced with a Shou Sugi Ban charred layer, it elevates cladding aesthetics by highlighting the natural texture of wood and creating a tactile, three-dimensional visual effect. Combined with Accoya® wood, the home promises to age gracefully alongside the untouched landscape for decades to come.

Project Needs: The primary focus for the exterior cladding selection at this mountain residence was long-term performance. Located in a region known for significant climate fluctuations, the project demanded a material that could withstand these variations with minimal maintenance and consistent weathering characteristics.

Project Solutions: Inspired by the use of Cypress cladding on the nearby Hardrock Project, Jennifer Hoey desired light toned timber for this home’s design. After reviewing product information with a specification consultant, CUSTOM Cypress was chosen for its durability and light color. This material complements the PALAWAN Accoya® selected for soffits. Together, they create a beautiful harmony of tone and texture.

Project Results: The River Ranch stands as an architectural inspiration amongst architects and builders within the Sun Valley region, demonstrating quality and great craftsmanship. The use of Cypress and Accoya® wood, chosen for their beauty and natural resilience, proved to be a key factor in the project’s success. This positive experience has solidified the team’s confidence in using reSAWN’s materials for future projects.

The Jo Residence is a stunning vacation home, situated in Guarujá – a city on Brazil’s southeastern coast just a few miles from the bustling capital of São Paulo. This city, known as the “Pearl of the Atlantic,” embodies Brazil’s coastal lifestyle, blending the beauty of its beaches with the energy of an urban environment. The Jo Residence epitomizes Guarujá’s relaxed elegance, offering a perfect escape for its residents.

Jacobsen Arquitetura designed The Jo Residence to be an immersive beachfront experience, blurring the lines between architecture and landscape. Verdant plants and natural materials in warm gray tones, such as timber, granite, and stone ensure the home feels like a natural extension of its environment. This commitment to natural elements is evident in the extensive use of charred and natural Accoya® wood from reSAWN TIMBER co. on both the exterior and interior. Accoya’s dimensional stability, aesthetic appeal, and 50-year warranty made it the ideal product for this Guarujá tropical coastal climate.

While seamlessly integrating with the landscape, the Jo Residence also ensures privacy from neighbors and beach activity through the use of wood screening. Jacobsen Arquitetura strategically placed charred wooden slats in front of the home’s floor-to-ceiling windows, shielding the bedrooms from the busy street while allowing ample sunlight. Leveled wooden slats on the sides of the house offer additional privacy and sun shading, reducing glare and heat gain for improved indoor comfort and energy efficiency.

To maximize flexibility, retractable vertical wooden slats allow residents to open or close rooms as needed, particularly in the master bedroom facing the beach. Accoya cladding extends from the exterior to the interior, creating a unified aesthetic. Variations in plank width visually distinguish rooms while maintaining a cohesive theme. Natural light enhances the cool gray tones and texture of the cladding, creating an inviting and tranquil environment.

The Jo Residence transcends the concept of a home, standing as an architectural masterpiece of innovative design. Every detail has been meticulously considered for sustainability and ease of maintenance, exemplified by reSAWN TIMBER co.’s prized gray Accoya®. This wood promises low maintenance and long-lasting durability, thanks to a patented acetylation process that makes it resistant to shrinkage and warping in harsh weather conditions. The charred Shou Sugi Ban layer further enhances the design, accentuating the wood’s natural beauty with added texture while offering superior protection against moisture, rot, and decay, and UV radiation.

Jacobsen Arquitetura is a Brazilian architecture and interior design studio based in Rio de Janeiro, dedicated to creating projects that integrate deeply with their natural surroundings.

The Paragon Project is a serene modern retreat in the charming beach town of Avalon, NJ. This vacation home offers panoramic views of the bay and features modern elements that distinguish it from traditional beach cottages. Clean lines, corner-wrapping windows, and multiple bay-front patios seamlessly merge the indoor and outdoor living spaces. The architect firm, Asher Slaunwhite + Partners, intentionally chose charred Accoya® exterior cladding for its aesthetics, 50-year warranty, and superior durability against the coastal climate. This modified wood offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and timeless character that the clients desire. The addition of the wooden slat design offers an interplay of light and shadow while ensuring privacy and shade, helping to regulate the interior temperature during hot summer days.

The Paragon Project is clad in NIGIRI charred Accoya®, a low-maintenance material that retains its aesthetic charm as it naturally ages. Accoya® wood transcends traditional wood; it undergoes a patented acetylation process, greatly enhancing its durability and dimensional stability. Furthermore, the wood is enriched with a charred layer using the Japanese Shou Sugi Ban technique, providing additional protection to its structural integrity. This technique carbonizes the wood’s surface, forming an outer char layer that shields against rot and moisture-related decay in exterior applications, making it an ideal choice for the Paragon Project’s coastal location.

Project Needs: Asher Slaunwhite + Partners sought a low-maintenance product with a modern, timeless, and natural aesthetic that could withstand the coastal weather. Intrigued by reSAWN TIMBER co.’s offerings, they delved deeper into our charred product line. A consultation at reSAWN’s headquarters provided exposure to various options, ultimately aiding in selecting the ideal material for the project.

Project Solutions: NIGIRI charred Accoya captured the client’s attention with its impressive dimensional stability, aesthetic appeal, and warranty.

Nestled among the forests bordering Lake Tahoe, CA, lies the Tahoe Pines Project, where the homeowners are treated to breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding mountains. The project seamlessly blends traditional cabin design with modern minimalism. This is achieved through sleek lines, large glass windows, and a natural timber facade. The use of Abodo wood exterior cladding not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also offers practical benefits. Certified as a Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Product by the California Building Commission, this premium cladding ensures protection against wildfires—a crucial consideration in the fire-prone Lake Tahoe region. This certification offers homeowners peace of mind, fortifying their homes against potential threats.

Project Needs: The clients prioritized durability, low maintenance, and sustainability when selecting their cladding, aiming for a timeless yet modern aesthetic that blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape.

Project Solutions: After a highly satisfying experience with the Sierra Summit Project, architect Ryan Borman chose to specify Abodo WALNUT cladding again for this project. This option not only fulfilled the clients’ preferences but also provided extra benefits by being a safer building material, meeting the standards for Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) compliance.

Project Results: Both the architect and builders expressed great satisfaction with the installation process and the quality of the product. The aesthetic appeal, eco-friendly characteristics, and durability of Abodo clear vertical grain (CVG) were key factors influencing the decision to select the same material, and they look forward to working with it in the future.

With an eco-conscious formulation and superior longevity, SiOO:X has advantages over traditional coatings, ensuring sustainability and reducing maintenance costs. SiOO:X sets a new standard in modern wood protection, offering unmatched resilience and aesthetic appeal for commercial and residential projects.

Project Needs: The clients were seeking modern wood cladding to differentiate their home from the traditional properties in the surrounding area. Upon discovering reSAWN TIMBER co.’s products online, they were certain that our offerings could deliver the unique aesthetic they desired.

Project Solutions: The client selected SiOO:X Abodo Vulcan cladding for its unique weathering, protection, and performance features. When a guest house addition was incorporated into the original plan, reSAWN promptly initiated production of the additional materials, ensuring a seamless material match for the entire project.

Project Results: Despite a 3-month installation gap causing a temporary variation in the color of the SiOO:X cladding, the exterior quickly synchronized in aesthetics just a few weeks after completion. From material selection to installation and through the ongoing weathering process, the entire journey has proven to be an exciting and fulfilling experience for the clients.
