Nestled away on 1/3 an acre in Washington, D.C., this private residence features over 3,500 square feet of TEAK Abodo Vulcan Cladding. The home was originally built in 1976 and received a beautiful, modern redesign. This modern home features floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing the homeowners to truly appreciate the sunlight, nature, and landscaping from the home’s interior. The architect notes, “But most dramatically, to take complete advantage of light, sun, and views, is a series of cantilevers that allow the building to extend toward the trees and allow those within the house to almost touch the branches through the glass.”

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

Based in New Zealand, Abodo prides itself on producing a range of beautiful and durable timber solutions that are safe, sustainable, and renewable. The company has a strong ethos around ensuring its timber is ethically sourced and demonstrates extended producer responsibility. From milling to building, they respect their material, the people who use it, and where it comes from. For every tree milled, Abodo ensures it provides more than 30 years of service, which is as long as it takes to grow a replacement tree.

On two acres in upstate New York, this private residence features over 4,000 square feet of reSAWN TIMBER co. products. In addition to exterior wood cladding and soffits, reSAWN provided custom sills, caps, and trim. This attention to detail of the overall design truly elevates the finished project. The home is tucked away in the beautiful Hudson Valley, providing a secluded retreat for the homeowners. The use of IRUKA and CUSTOM Cypress provides a tasteful contrast compared to the lush greenery and landscaping. For a similar look to the CUSTOM cladding, we recommend MONOGATARI 2.0. The cladding is already weathering gracefully, and we cannot wait to visit again.

IRUKA by reSAWN TIMBER co. features charred Cypress burnt in the Japanese style of shou sugi ban and can be used for interior or exterior wall cladding. Our charring & sealing process makes for beautifully designed exterior wood siding. Like any exterior wood siding prefinished or finished in place, these materials will weather naturally over time and will require maintenance.

reSAWN’s charred offering features Accoya, Kebony, Cypress, Cedar, Black Walnut, Reclaimed Hemlock, and newly harvested Western Hemlock that is burnt in the Japanese tradition of shou sugi ban. Our award-winning charred products pay homage to the traditional Japanese technique of “shou-sugi-ban” aka “yakisugi” without being literal.  Historically very specific in their definition, “shou-sugi-ban” and “yakisugi” have become common nomenclature for modern charred wood designs in general.  All of reSAWN’s charred products are made in the USA, in our facility in Telford, PA.

ICD Workshop is a design studio led by Ian Carrington and Mitchell Streichhirsch. Two degrees in the design field, a B.F.A. in Industrial Design and a Master of Architecture, have served to bolster Ian’s commitment to the design and building industry. Mitchell’s extensive blended experience in interior design studios and architecture firms prior to joining ICD Workshop offer their clients the benefits of a full service firm from conception through completion.

Abodo Vulcan Cladding in NERO finish

This 1940 brick bungalow renovation and extension in Westmere features NERO Abodo Vulcan exterior cladding and slats. The deep black finish of NERO creates a contemporary aesthetic that tastefully contrasts its more traditional-styled neighbors.

Choosing Abodo lowers the need for maintenance. Abodo wood undergoes a thermal modification process that increases the durability and stability of the products. This is especially important for exterior cladding, which can be subject to many different kinds of weather events and climates throughout New Zealand.

When using darker colored cladding, stability needs to be accounted for since the darker colored wood can warp and twist easily with changing temperatures. Nero Protector Oil uses a mix of small and large particles of carbon black pigment. The smaller particles go deep into the wood while the larger ones stay near the surface. This, in addition to the thermal modification process, increases the longevity and aesthetic of the deep black finish.

Matter Architects is recognized for its work in architecture, urban planning, art, design, and strategic thinking. They pride themselves on their ethical, honest, and transparent approach to all projects. They love what they do and have a profound commitment to their clients and finding innovative design solutions.

Exterior Slats:
SiOO:X – FSC®-Certified Abodo Vulcan Slats

The Grounds consists of 42 designer apartments and is New Zealand’s first engineered tall timber residential development. The project consists of four buildings, each three stories high. Minimizing construction time on site was a goal, with some of the building materials being prefabricated or pre-finished before being delivered on-site. With sustainability and eco-consciousness in mind, this development utilized Abodo’s locally sourced FSC® certified timber, with no added treatment chemicals. Abodo’s vertical slats were chosen for the screening due to its innate stability and superior weathering characteristics. The slats are finished with SiOO:X, which will weather to a beautiful silver-grey while offering overall low maintenance to the building.

The SiOO:X Wood Protection System is a reactive coating system that creates a unique protective barrier to timber. It is designed to minimize the frequency of maintenance when compared to other semi-transparent coatings by creating a surface that becomes more attractive as it ages. SiOO:X mirrors the natural aging process of wood by accelerating the creation of a weathered, silver-grey appearance while giving long-life protection in a completely environmentally friendly way.

Abodo thermally modified wood is another option that is durable and rapidly renewable. reSAWN TIMBER co.’s Abodo Vulcan slats are sourced from FSC® certified rapidly renewable New Zealand plantations. Engineered with a unique vertical grain, Abodo Vulcan slats have exceptional weatherability and maintain durability and beauty for a lifetime. Plus, with the release of an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), Vulcan wood is the first verified carbon-negative feature timber. Abodo offers a 15-year warranty against fungal decay.

Peddlethorp is a design and architecture studio committed to creating beautiful, sustainable and enduring built environments. They are 100% committed to sustainable design principles – producing resilient buildings that enhance the wellness of occupants with minimal impact on the environment. They support the need to lower carbon emissions by working towards a zero-carbon economy to ensure the environment is secured for future generations.

This private residence in Park City, Utah, features over 8,000 square feet of GRAPHITE Abodo Vulcan cladding and soffits. The home has breathtaking mountain views surrounding it, situated perfectly on over an acre of land. The exterior features a mixture of materials that work beautifully together. You can see the exterior wood cladding is weathering gracefully – comparing them to the detail shots taken mid-install. Varying widths of the soffit cladding comparatively to the exterior cladding provides a visual contrast to the overall design. This project utilized a field mockup to understand how the wood cladding will weather in the Utah climate.

GRAPHITE by reSAWN TIMBER co. features Abodo 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 optimal coating performance. 

Abodo thermally modified wood stands the test of time; it is beautiful, durable, and sustainable. Lifetime beauty with tomorrow in mind is Abodo’s two-part philosophy. Abodo products have exceptional weatherability and maintain their durability and beauty for a lifetime. With timbers harvested from New Zealand’s FSC® certified rapidly renewable plantation forests, Vulcan cladding is a sustainable building material choice. The timbers are ethically crafted with respect from beginning to end – meeting today’s increasing needs without disadvantaging future generations.

OttoWalker Architects was founded on the dual principles of designing structures which fulfill the aesthetic as well as practical desires of its clients while utilizing all the attributes a building site has to offer. These natural gifts often include expansive views, generous solar exposure, mature vegetation and topography which can help to enhance a design. To be successful in a mountain environment such as Park City, Utah, these two key goals must be achieved while also providing a beautiful project which endures the test of time.

Atop a dune overlooking the Atlantic Ocean resides a modern passive home featuring IRUKA shou sugi ban charred Cypress exterior wood cladding. This Long Island residence has breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and is a short walk to Napeague Beach, with seagrasses and sand dunes visible from all angles of the home. Divided into two large structures and connected by a single-story, window-lined walkway, the home’s layout provides a private environment with views of the beautiful surrounding landscape. Passive building principles and construction methods led to a low energy-consuming house.

IRUKA features charred Cypress burnt in the Japanese style of shou sugi ban. The burning process accentuates the wood grain and creates varying colors when viewed from different angles and in different light. Our award-winning charred products pay homage to the traditional technique of shou sugi ban, also known as yakisugi, without being literal. These techniques have become common nomenclature for modern charred wood designs. All of reSAWN’s charred products are made in the USA at our facility in Telford, Pennsylvania.

Cypress is notable for its color consistency, density, and hardness. Cypress trees generate cypressene, a naturally occurring preservative oil that makes the heartwood resistant to insects, decay, chemical corrosion, and other damaging elements. reSAWN’s charred Cypress has a Flame Spread Index of 40 and a Smoke Developed Index of 140 to give it a Class B Rating. Charred Cypress can be fire treated to Class A for interior projects. Cypress has several sustainability attributes, including its ability to lock in substantial amounts of carbon, making it a great addition to a sustainably conscious home for generations to come.

Ryall Sheridan Architects designs projects which include new construction, renovations of existing structures, interior design, and additions to historic structures. Partners Bill Ryall and Ted Sheridan collaborate with the studio team to serve the various requirements of clients. All projects incorporate strategies for implementing environmentally-friendly, sustainable design. The studio works on projects beginning with the conceptual design phase, and following through with comprehensive working drawings and specifications, pricing of the work with contractors, construction supervision, and furniture installation.

Down a winding road through a serene forest awaits this breathtaking private residence. Nestled away in the woods on 12+ acres close to Lake Winnipesaukee, this home features reSAWN’s CUSTOM Weathered Western Red Cedar exterior cladding. For a similar look, we suggest BROOKINGS Alaskan Yellow Cedar. Once an outdated, dilapidated cabin, this residence has received a complete remodel with modern designs and finishes. There is a living roof and an expansive rooftop deck and walkway to truly appreciate the nature and scenery that surrounds the home. The home’s design features countless large windows that provide expansive views of the lake and trees surrounding it. Some of reSAWN’s exterior cladding transitions into the interior, providing a seamless design. Murdough Design notes, “The exterior palette and glass are designed to visually camouflage and recess the building into the landscape.”

reSAWN offers Western Red Cedar because it’s one of North America’s great renewable resources. In addition to its prominence as sustainable exterior material, it’s very durable and is one of the lightest commercial softwoods. Western Red Cedar has very low shrinkage factors and is largely superior to all other coniferous softwoods in its resistance to warping, checking, and twisting. With the use of the classic building material, reSAWN has modernized and expanded the possible design options with charred shou sugi ban and weathered finishes.

Murdough Design is a design-driven and award-winning architecture firm that focuses on residential and small institutional projects. They are a small, collaborative architecture studio. They design unique responses to the specifics of place, site, use, and client desires. They merge practical requirements with intangible qualities distinct to each design problem.

The Powder Mountain Cabin stands out against the rest, far more extensive in scale and the only cabin clad in shou sugi ban exterior siding. Its geometry steps down like the slopes and seamlessly blends the surroundings, and better yet, you can ski-in/ski-out of the house. As a result, it provides a magnificent, uninterrupted panoramic view of the trees and mountains. “This building is all about the topography of the mountain,” MacKay-Lyons explains, “it really echoes the landscape.” With over 8,000 acres of skiable terrain, Powder Mountain is North America’s largest ski area. This mountain range averages 500+ inches of annual snowfall.

For a similar look to this custom charred Kebony, see VETTE. Kebony is impregnated with furfuryl alcohol, which improves the durability and performance of the wood. When burnt, the wood has a dense, outer char layer that provides extra protection against rot and decay. Developed in Norway, the Kebony technology is an environmentally friendly, patented process, which enhances the properties of sustainable softwood with a bio-based liquid. The process permanently modifies the wood cell walls giving Kebony premium hardwood characteristics and a rich brown color. After exposure to sun and rain the wood develops a natural silver-gray patina. Performance is maintained, while beauty is enhanced.

DUNCAN 2.0 by reSAWN TIMBER co. features Charred Western Red Cedar burnt in the Japanese style of shou sugi ban. Charred Cedar features shou sugi ban charred western red cedar in a range of colors from a stark, vertical grain black to a knotty natural brown. Western red cedar has been used as a consistent and high-performing exterior wood siding for hundreds of years.

MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects works locally and internationally on cultural, academic, and residential projects, providing full architectural and interior design services. There are two Partners: Brian MacKay-Lyons and Talbot Sweetapple, one Managing Principal: Melanie Hayne, and one Design Associate: Shane Andrews.
