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. 

Jennifer Hoey, designer and founder of Suede Studio, approaches every project with a focus on creating unique homes that reflect her clients’ lifestyles and personalities. Her designs are as skilled and detailed as they are inspired and creative.

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. Their work embodies the concept of tropical architecture, blending contemporary aesthetics with colonial, indigenous, and modernist influences.

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. A mockup was created to ensure its suitability for the coastal location, demonstrating excellent performance in the home’s specific climate conditions.

Project Results: Since its installation, the product has showcased exceptional performance. The clients are delighted with how it has fulfilled all their expectations and eagerly anticipate its evolution with their home for years to come.

Crafted for two residents, the Gray House borders a lush field creating tranquil scenery. To capitalize on the views of the field, Ted Porter Architects integrated large panes of southern-facing windows to fully showcase the landscape. The U-shaped layout maximizes the separation between the bedroom wings of each occupant, with shared spaces connecting these wings. The continuous gabled structure pays homage to the vernacular farm buildings prevalent in the area. Clad in charred SAMITTO Accoya®, it adds a sense of history and character to the home, complementing the town’s architectural style. Accoya®, renowned for its sleek charcoal aesthetic and minimal maintenance requirements, will age gracefully with the untouched landscape for decades to come. 

SAMITTO by reSAWN TIMBER co. features charred Accoya® wood burnt with the Japanese Shou Sugi Ban technique. SAMITTO can be used for interior or exterior wall cladding. Accoya® wood is the outcome of decades of research and development, combining a well-established and extensively proven wood modification technique with leading-edge patented technology – acetylation, delivering a high-performance wood solution for outdoor use and in challenging applications.

Project Needs: The clients prioritized durability, minimal upkeep, and consistent weathering for their cladding choice, aiming for a timeless aesthetic with a modern edge while respecting the surrounding protected landscape.

Project Solutions: The clients were impressed by the exterior cladding of the Boland Residence, a relative’s house nearby. They worked closely with a reSAWN Specification Consultant to review design options, samples, and installation guidelines for various charred Accoya® products. Among these options, SAMITTO stood out as the preferred choice due to its lighter charred appearance, improved durability, low maintenance needs, and 50-year warranty.

Project Results: The extensive benefits of Accoya® wood allowed the clients to confidently choose the right cladding material for their home. SAMITTO’s light charred appearance offers a modern yet weathered aesthetic, seamlessly blending with the surrounding landscape rather than detracting from it.

Ted Porter Architects is involved in a wide range of projects, encompassing new construction, renovations, historic structure additions, and interior design. They prioritize building meaningful relationships with clients, striving to exceed their design expectations and aesthetic preferences.

The design for the Sierra Summit Project aimed to emulate the natural landscape of the Sierra Nevada Mountains that envelop the residence in Truckee, CA. Tailored for nature enthusiasts, this retreat is conveniently situated near Lake Tahoe and an abundance of hiking and biking trails. Enhancing the exterior of the 3,449 sq. ft. home is the Abodo Vulcan cladding, imparting a timeless quality that seamlessly integrates with its surroundings as if it has been a harmonious part of the landscape for years. As seasons change and weather evolves, the Abodo Vulcan cladding not only maintains structural integrity but also weathers gracefully over time.

Abodo’s product line holds certification from the California Building Commission, making it eligible for inclusion in the Building Materials Listing Program (BML) Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Products Listing. Abodo distinguishes itself as one of the few approved cladding materials for buildings situated in WUI zones. Architects and contractors can reliably specify Abodo for use in all regions, without facing constraints from WUI restrictions. This flexibility is important for projects like the Sierra Summit Project, emphasizing the significance of choosing safe building materials. Homeowners can be confident knowing that utilizing Abodo cladding enhances the safety and resilience of their homes against potential wildfire threats.

Project Needs: During an AIA luncheon, a reSAWN specification consultant introduced Ryan Borman Architects to the benefits of modified Abodo wood. Captivated by the product’s performance and easy-to-maintain finishes, the client saw it as a prospective option for their upcoming residential project, which demanded a premium-quality solution.

Project Solutions: The clients chose reSAWN TIMBER co.’s WALNUT Abodo wood as the prime option, satisfying both HOA standards and aligning seamlessly with their desired aesthetic. Their assurance in selecting this product stemmed from its durability and eco-friendly sourcing in a sustainably harvested forest.

Project Results: In House Builders conveyed immense satisfaction with both the installation process and the product’s quality. The Abodos CVG aesthetic, eco-friendly features, and durability were influential factors that led the architects to choose the same material for their upcoming projects.
