Just North of Boston, the Cape Ann Museum showcases the art and cultural history of nautical New England. Cape Ann boasts a rich and varied culture of nationally significant historical, industrial, and artistic achievement. Their ongoing $2.6 million renovations included reSAWN’s BRIZA Weathered Atlantic White Cedar exterior cladding. This new section of the Museum is coined The Cape Ann Museum Green, designed to expand their community, contemporary art, and educational offerings. This is an elegant renovation to the almost 150-year-old nonprofit art and history museum. Gloucester Mayor Sefatia Romeo Theken said she is excited to see the expansion of a museum that celebrates the historical, industrial, and artistic achievements of Cape Ann.

BRIZA is a high-performing, natural material with a weathered aesthetic. Combining Atlantic White Cedar’s impressive exterior reputation and reSAWN’s design process, BRIZA is durable, dimensionally stable, resistant to rot and insects, and has a grey, weathered look. For a similar look to BRIZA, see reSAWN’s WASHOE Alaskan Yellow Cedar.

Grown along the Atlantic coast from Maine to Florida, Atlantic White Cedar is widely used as an exterior siding material for its decay resistance and durability. We chose the domestic softwood for its ability to accept and hold finishes, which made it a perfect species for our weathered designs. The weathered designs provide an exterior material that will have minimal aesthetic variation throughout its installation.

designLAB Architects uses the term critical stewardship to describe their design philosophy – the essential thread that connects a varied body of work. It lies at the intersection of historic preservation and environmentally conscious design, with an emphasis on human-focused decision-making.

This exquisite estate features over 4,000 square feet of WILLIWAW exterior wood cladding. Known as “The Best Place to Own a Second Home In Tahoe”, Martis Camp is a 3,177 acre private, luxury community located midway between North Lake Tahoe and historic Truckee, California. The forests, meadows, beaches, and creeks are just some of the countless beautiful features of this community. Amenities include private, direct ski access to Northstar California, a Tom Fazio designed golf course, and a state-of-the-art spa.

WILLIWAW is a high-performing, natural material with a weathered aesthetic. Clear vertical grain Alaskan Yellow Cedar contains few character marks. WILLIWAW is durable, dimensionally stable, resistant to rot and insects, and has a light tan/gray, weathered look.

Sourced along the Pacific coast from Alaska to Oregon, Alaskan Yellow Cedar is well known as the hardest cedar in the world. Its slow growth rate makes it highly resistant to disease and decay. It also has a high degree of stability. We chose Alaskan Yellow Cedar for its ability to accept and hold finishes, which made it a perfect species for our weathered designs. The weathered designs provide an exterior material that will have minimal aesthetic variation throughout its installation.

Dynerman Architects, led by Alan Dynerman, FAIA, is small, versatile, and with experience and scope that belies its size. Their portfolio comprises work across the country and in Asia and projects that include campus planning studies, corporate headquarters, high-end residences, a chapel, even a puppet theatre.

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. The architecture strives to balance the organic world of water, sky, sand and trees with the built world of simple shapes and open volumes.

Located at the base of the iconic Ellen Browning Scripps Memorial Pier, the Charles and Beano Scripps Center for Coastal Studies, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego, provides the ideal location for research on coastal processes. This revitalized facility allows scientists to mentor students and to inform society about critical issues of sea-level rise, coastal erosion, and shoreline pollutant transport. The modernization of the building creates a collaborative setting for students, staff, and faculty in one of the most energy-efficient buildings on campus, with opening windows to provide light, natural air circulation, and views of the ocean and pier throughout the building.

The first two floors were originally a large World War II era, concrete tank before the building was converted to house scientists studying coastal physical oceanography in 1963. The new design elevates the existing storage tank’s concrete structure through careful interventions that re-order the facades and improve occupant connection to the stunning surroundings. In response to the environmentally sensitive beachfront site, the project team worked with Scripps researchers to understand the potential impacts of climate change, confirming the worst-case sea-level rise will not overtop the existing seawall for the next 70 to 80 years.

Wood is a major part of the historic Scripps campus vernacular, however, with proximity to the ocean, maintenance is an issue. By utilizing resilient materials, such as reSAWN TIMBER co’s durable, clear vertical grain MARTELL charred Western Red Cedar, which is resistant to rot, insects, and sun damage, the building will weather gracefully within the harsh coastal environment.

MARTELL by reSAWN TIMBER co. features Charred Western Red Cedar burnt in the Japanese style of shou sugi ban. MARTELL can be used for interior or exterior wall cladding and is standardly clear vertical grain grade. MARTELL is carefully charred, misted with water, cooled, brushed, and then stained/sealed. The burning process accentuates the wood grain and creates varying colors when viewed from different angles and in different light.

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.

The Miller Hull Partnership was founded in 1977 by David Miller and Robert Hill, partners with a defining background in the Peace Corps. As designers, they were profoundly influenced by the powerful landscape of the Pacific Northwest, which led to the firm’s enduring perspective on architecture that is intimately rooted in the human impact and context of the buildings they design. Miller Hull began by designing many award-winning earth sheltered and solar buildings in the early 1980s. Today, David and Robert’s passion for and tradition of creating dynamic and environmentally sensitive buildings represents the essence of our identity and continues to push their work forward.

This equestrian farm spans over 10 acres and was designed to match the surrounding Missouri farmland, fitting perfectly in the long lines of the property. When entering the property, you cross over a small bridge with a water feature that filters excessive runoff water, protecting the natural stream bordering the south side of the property. The overall project features a beautiful balance with a mixture of locally sourced wood and stone, accentuated with steel accents. 

This facility is believed to be the most energy-efficient equestrian complex in the United States. The private farm incorporates state-of-the-art energy systems throughout the complex of buildings, including a geothermal heat pump system, solar panels, and sustainable real wood cladding.

TAIYO was chosen due to the wood protection added from the charring shou sugi ban process and its sustainability. Charring adds an extra layer of protection to wood’s structural durability. In addition, the burning process accentuates the wood grain and creates varying colors when viewed from different angles and in a different light. In time, the siding will age gracefully, turning grey. 

TAIYO by reSAWN TIMBER co. features Charred Cypress burnt in the Japanese style of shou sugi ban and is available for interior or exterior wall cladding. 

Blackburn Architects, founded by John Blackburn in 1983, is focused on a very special market: Equestrian Architecture. Using principles of natural ventilation, they create buildings that “breathe” with air and with light, dissipating heat and moisture. An architect with an engineer’s fascination for science and its influence on design, John Blackburn refers to vertical ventilation as the firm’s most important consideration.

Latitude Luxury Apartments is a six-level luxury apartment development in the heart of Tauranga’s prestigious historic precinct. The design was inspired by the beauty of Tauranga and its surroundings, including Tauranga Harbor and Mount Maunganui.

Sustainability was central to the design, balancing form and function to create a durable, long-lasting structure. Ignite Architecture combined soft timber elements with harder elements to achieve the desired aesthetic. With maintenance and fire safety in mind, timber was the preferred material for the soffit linings. 

Abodo® SiOO:X Vulcan Cladding was chosen due to its dimensional durability and low maintenance needs. SiOO:X is a natural wood coating that weathers at a slower rate in soffit applications, creating a light color finish.

Weathered wood is an aesthetic that is increasingly sought after. Still, the challenge is how to achieve it without taking the risk of uneven weathering on different aspects of the building or in protected areas, such as overhanging soffit applications. SiOO:X provides a solution by mirroring the natural aging process by accelerating the creation of the silver-grey appearance and giving long-life protection in a completely environmentally friendly way.

Ignite Architects is a multi-disciplinary design firm specialising in architecture, interior design, master planning and urban design. They bring a dynamic and innovative approach to delivering world class design solutions that are both people-oriented and visually inspiring. With place making at the heart of their practice, they are dedicated to fostering engaged and vital communities.

At Form NZ,  they invest heavily in their people. You’ll like that! It means you get the best people, experience, capabilities and approach to your project. Their substantial years of combined project experience and their team of over 170 people means quite simply, that they understand your needs better.

This home sits on a highly exposed corner lot. The owners wanted to have privacy while taking advantage of natural light and exterior landscape. Incorporating the surrounding nature while still being private was a challenge, the finished result is a harmonious balance of nature, privacy, and design.

The rooms wrap around the centrally located garden and act as an outdoor living area. The secondary gardens and surrounding landscape have various native plants and trees that receive most of their irrigation through rainwater catch basins. Spaces are directed towards the lake, meadow, hills, and observatory views while also looking across the gardens. The exterior facade features reSAWN TIMBER co’s custom shou sugi ban charred cypress wood cladding.

The Garden House has expanded the international legacy of environmentally advanced architecture in Los Angeles by applying natural lighting, passive ventilation, water conservation, and many active technologies.

The work of ANX begins with a fundamental optimism with regard to the continued value and impact that design and architecture have on our cities and their inhabitants. Their approach is positive, opportunistic, and intellectually flexible with every theoretical and commissioned project – both large and small. Their belief is that one can affect significant change through a careful analysis and deconstruction of project conditions, and the application of a thoughtful, conceptually rigorous process.

ROARING 40s features atlantic white cedar that is sustainably harvested along the coastal plain region of the United States and intended to provide a high-performing, natural material with a weathered aesthetic. ROARING 40s can be used for interior or exterior wall cladding and is available in a select tight knot grade. reSAWN is dedicated to providing high-performance, long-lasting cladding material and has developed its product line based on observations of experienced industry leaders and a first-hand understanding of customer needs.

This functional and uniquely beautiful project features a hangar for a private jet in addition to a well-designed living space. Whether you are waiting for your next flight or catching up on business in the office, this space has it all. The use of our ROARING 40s weathered atlantic white cedar on the exterior of the entryway provides a dramatic, sustainable modern design to perfectly complement the overall project.

The Hangar is located in Provo, Utah, ranked as the second greatest place to live in America and is also Utah’s second-fastest-growing city. With access to trails, rivers, mountains, lakes, and green space, it has numerous factors people look for in a place to call home. Located about 45 miles south of Salt Lake City, this was an excellent location for this multi-functional hangar. 

reSAWN offers weathered atlantic white cedar because of its propensity for resiliency, beauty, and versatility. Its lightweight, straight grain, ease of machining, ease of finishing, low shrinkage, and extreme resistance to decay make it a trusted and elegant option for both interior and exterior applications. Given the climate averages of Provo, which include high precipitation and higher temperatures at times, ROARING 40s was an excellent choice for exterior cladding.

AMB Design offers a blending of modern form and function with authentic vintage detail creates energy, fresh simplicity, and livability. AMB’s homes entail organic ingredients such as dry white oak floors, walnut, bronze, woolen textiles, and rich hues to create what she calls the “real factor”—leaving no space untouched by a sense of natural. She strives to create environments that raise the quality of life of those who live there.
