Just a block away from the San Miguel River, this 4,700 square foot new-build features HOWAITO shou sugi ban charred Cypress and MATSU shou sugi ban charred Accoya exterior wood cladding. This residence is nestled away in a neighborhood near all that Telluride has to offer. A mere few blocks away, there is a Gondola that can take you to the surrounding mountains, trails, and ski resort, all while still being a short walk from the local breweries and eateries. The property features rare views of the ski area, Bear Creek, and the San Miguel River corridor.

MATSU by reSAWN TIMBER co. features charred Accoya wood burnt in the Japanese style of shou sugi ban, and can be used for interior and exterior applications.

Accoya wood is the result of 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.

HOWAITO by reSAWN TIMBER co. features charred Cypress burnt in the Japanese style of shou sugi ban, and can be used for interior and exterior applications.

HOWAITO is made with Cypress sourced from the Southern United States. 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.

Tommy Hein‘s work reflects a deep appreciation for the potential of architecture to enhance one’s life through the creation of built forms and the organization of space. They are dedicated to creating unique buildings appropriate to their environment as well as their cultural context. Each project grows from its site, embracing the nature of materials and light. Environmental and Social Responsibility are their highest priorities; they practice green building construction and passive solar design on all of their projects.

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.

Martin Architects believes every location has its own unique character. By developing an intimate knowledge of a place and its clients who will inhabit it, they create indoor and outdoor spaces that are materially responsive and contextually sensitive. Artfully sculpting the land, they blend their work into the existing context. Growing and changing with the surrounding environment, their work becomes synonymous with the place creating timeless and unique.

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.

From the scale of the city to the detail, CODA designs unique, site-responsive, and sustainable solutions that balance function and desire. ​ Their award-winning firm is known for their use of an innovative material palette, as well as for their commitment to a dynamic interaction between the architecture and its inhabitants over time. Since 2008, CODA has designed inventive solutions for a range of programs, from art installations to houses, from religious and public buildings to housing, and from furniture to entire city design.

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.

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.

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.
