The Scout Lake Residence, a modern home in Redmond, Washington, was built on the grounds of a former Boy Scout camp that operated from the 1950s to the 1990s. Designed by Stephenson Design Collective, the 3,900 sq. ft. house pays homage to the Pacific Northwest forests and the homeowner’s Danish heritage. The impressive house includes 1,700 sq.ft. of reSAWN’s DUNCAN 2.0 Shou Sugi Ban exterior cladding and was built for the CCO of the video game, Minecraft. This remarkable home is showcased in several architectural publications including Design Milk, Architectural Record, and is featured on the cover of Sunset Magazine. The stacked blocks and a mix of glass, concrete, and wood, almost replicate the video game itself. The architects were mindful of the protected lakeside area, ensuring environmental sensitivity throughout the construction process.

DUNCAN 2.0 is carefully charred, misted with water, cooled, brushed and then finished. The burning process accentuates the wood grain and creates varying colors when viewed from different angles and in different light. For interior applications, the wood is finished on the face only. For exterior applications, the wood is finished on the face only and sealed on the back & the two long edges.

Located by the center of New Zealand’s North Island, Lakehouse Luxe is a beautiful holiday home that uses Adobo® Vulcan Wood. The home features STRAW – Vulcan Panelling in Protector internally and NERO Adobo Vulcan weatherboards externally. 

Matt Corleison from Designer Builders suggested Adobo® Vulcan (WB10 180×20) weatherboards in Protector – NERO for the exterior cladding. “The NERO finish was chosen as the homeowners wanted something quite dark to help the house fit into the landscape, despite being a fairly large and bold home. The ceilings inside were then something that developed during the build. They were designed to be gibbed ceilings, but we suggested using Vulcan Paneling instead to bring a natural contrast between the black exterior and the warmth of the natural timber.”

NERO by reSAWN TIMBER co. features Adobo® carbon negative Vulcan Cladding finished with Abodo Protector Oil, which uses the latest waterborne oil technology combining refined plant oils, UV protection, advanced water barrier composition and an enhanced fungicidal package for superior exterior performance. 

STRAW by reSAWN TIMBER co. features Adobo®  Vulcan Cladding finished with Abodo Protector Oil. reSAWN TIMBER co’s Abodo Fine Sawn Face Vulcan Cladding provides a unique textured surface with beautiful grain depth. This fine sawn texture opens the wood grain to allow for optimal coating performance.
