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. The firm has successfully produced commercial, institutional, and residential projects that have benefited from a close working relationship between client and all members of the project team.

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.

Just a few hundred yards from the Atlantic Ocean on over three acres, Jule Pond II is a breathtaking and unique private residence spanning over 10,000 square feet. With views of Jule Pond and farmland, the views are breathtaking. Stone pavers lead you through the courtyard to the entryway, featuring a sunken patio and fire pit. The MONOGATARI 2.0 shou sugi ban brise soleil spans two stories while visually connecting the three wings of the home. The design of the brise soliel provides a beautiful interval pattern that also extends past the house itself, incorporating it into the landscaping.

The shou sugi ban cladding effortlessly transitions into the entryway, providing a stunning visual contrast surrounding the grand concrete staircase. The level of detail can be seen throughout the home, with dark and light contrasts that provide the same visual rhythm as the exterior. The back of the home features an extensive infinity pool surrounded by a sprawling patio. MONOGATARI 2.0 is incorporated into the arbor over the outdoor dining area, bringing the dark contrast to the back of the home, which is clad in unfinished cedar.

MONOGATARI 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.  With its legendary beauty and natural durability, Cypress has long been a staple as an exterior wood siding product.  Because Cypress generates its own preservative oil, called cypressene, it’s an ideal wood for locations with constant heat, humidity, and torrential rains.

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.

Internationally recognized as a leader in modern architecture, BMA Architects designs custom retreats that celebrate modernism and embodies the future of elevated living.

Nestled away in the woods of Great Falls, Virginia, is The Millwood Residence on nearly 7 acres. Close by is Difficult Run River; The area has had many historical uses dating back to the early 1800s. The home features plenty of room to entertain and features indoor-outdoor living spaces to take advantage of the remarkable land that surrounds the home. This residence was designed to grow with the family and inspired by its natural surroundings. Mixed materials, including 3 reSAWN TIMBER co. products on the exterior, stone veneer, and a metal roof work together to form this exquisite residence.

Combining Atlantic White Cedar’s impressive exterior reputation and reSAWN’s design process,  ZEPHYR is durable, dimensionally stable, resistant to rot and insects, and has a grey, weathered look. As a natural building material, exterior wood cladding weathers inconsistently and can be unpredictable. reSAWN’s weathered designs solve for this by offering a consistent aesthetic from the moment of installation. For a similar look, we recommend WASHOE weathered Alaskan Yellow Cedar.

SURETO is made with Cypress sourced from the Southern United States and can be used for interior wall cladding, ceiling cladding and exterior siding.  With its legendary beauty and natural durability, Cypress has long been a staple as an exterior wood siding product.  Because Cypress generates its own preservative oil, called cypressene, it’s an ideal wood for locations with constant heat, humidity, and torrential rains.

This new academic building at Kean University Skylands is known as a “classroom in the trees”. This project features DUNCAN 2.0 exterior cladding, Custom Western Red Cedar exterior cladding, and custom interior cladding. This build brings students closer to nature, surrounded by the forest that is frequently an object of study. Kean University opened its Skylands campus by leasing bucolic lakefront land in the New Jersey Highlands from the state’s Department of Environmental Protection. This land led to limitations that limited the buildable area, resulting in this stacked build referred to as “the Cabin”. This solution comprises of six classrooms, two per floor, stacked on top of one another. The roof offers a sheltered observation deck that supports outdoor learning and events that connects the building to the rest of campus through the existing skywalk.

“Materials are utilitarian and humble: outside, charred wood siding connects the building to its context…” says NK Architects.

DUNCAN 2.0 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.

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. It is an expansive and popular tree in the Pacific Northwest region of North America.

At NK Architects, they partner with mission-driven organizations who are committed to serving their communities. Their purpose: empowering healthcare providers, educators, and allied organizations to leverage design in pursuit of individual and collective wellbeing. With their integrated team of architects, interior designers, planners, and engineers, they advocate for the people who are served by the spaces they design.

This 90-year-old, overall net-zero home is nestled away in Bridgehampton, New York. It received a modern remodel and renovation that includes SVERTE shou sugi ban charred Kebony exterior wood cladding. The decision to shorten the driveway allowed for a better utilized, updated yard. The backyard is an oasis that features an inground pool and bluestone pavers. The ceiling height sliders allow the home to open up to provide a well-articulated indoor/outdoor area while also acting as a passive solar heating source.

SVERTE by reSAWN TIMBER co. features Kebony shou sugi ban wood that’s specifically designed to create a beautifully charred aesthetic. SVERTE can be used for exterior siding or interior wall cladding.

reSAWN TIMBER co. brings our award-winning charred technology to the sustainable and high-performance Kebony wood. Using our contemporary take on the ancient Japanese fire-burning technique of shou sugi ban, reSAWN’s charring process adds both performance and aesthetic characteristics. Due to Kebony’s density and swollen cell structure, the exterior char layer of charred Kebony is extremely hard and durable. The hardness of the char layer provides extra protection against rot, hygroscopic movement, and insects.

The Saltonstall Foundation for the Arts supports New York State artists and writers at their beautiful, 200-acre property in Ithaca, New York. To date, they have provided residences to almost 400 artists and writers and given over half a million dollars in grants to individual artists and writers of New York State. This building hosts its summer residency program, self-directed, do-it-yourself retreats, and also serves as a public gallery. Founder Connie Saltonstall shaped an idea that would be a guide for the formation of this foundation. Connie especially hoped her inspiring home and property would become a retreat where artists and writers could live and work, and that dream is now a picturesque reality.

The Foundation’s commitment to sustainability included reSAWN’s shou sugi ban charred siding. The existing siding was reused on the backside of the new addition to create as little waste as possible. The new MATSU slat facade creates a sun-shading device, making the hottest months of the year more bearable. The building also features solar-powered elements, recycled materials, and transom windows and skylights.

The custom shou sugi ban charred exterior cladding covers the majority of the building. For a similar look to this custom charred cladding, see MONOGATARI 2.0.  It was also utilized in slats covering the windows as well as the barn doors to enter the building. Using a mix of two widths of S4S boards, a beautiful aesthetic is created that extends throughout the original structure and the addition. Looked at as an outer skin that wraps the facade of the addition, the shou sugi ban exterior cladding folds diagonally to form an outdoor amphitheater and slowly thins into a tail-like wall that lines the path leading to the existing main house. The MATSU slats helped join the existing building to the new addition that creates the amphitheater.

MATSU by reSAWN TIMBER co. features charred Accoya wood burnt in the Japanese style of shou sugi ban and can be used for interior or exterior wall cladding. reSAWN takes great pride in designing products on high-performance, stable domestic softwoods, and contemporary modified woods. In addition, charring adds an extra layer of protection to wood’s structural durability. The shou sugi ban process carbonizes the wood’s surface and creates an outer char layer that protects against rot, insects, and moisture-related decay in exterior applications.
