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. Since its inception in 2001, the firm has grown to include a twenty-person team selected to uphold the company’s merits of personalized service.

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.

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.

Abodo Vulcan Cladding in SiOO:X finish

With a goal of longevity, this home was designed with the elements in mind by using SiOO:X exterior cladding and slats. The understated aesthetic of this home will withstand the test of time with SiOO:X and will weather gracefully. This thermally efficient, resilient, and self-sufficient design was built as a safe-haven retreat. The owner wanted a place to retreat to if a natural disaster struck, and was built with those expectations. A large solar array, a diesel generator, and water tanks were chosen for disaster preparation. The building materials were chosen to maintain the home’s longevity for future generations. Parts of the home are also built with excavated schist from the home’s surroundings.

SiOO:X Wood Protection on Abodo Vulcan Cladding by reSAWN TIMBER co. for exterior cladding features a water-based and environmentally friendly finish, with a unique, patented formula based on silicon-potassium designed to accelerate the natural weathering process. Weathered wood is an aesthetic that is increasingly sought after but 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 eaves.

SiOO:X provides a solution by mirroring the natural aging process and accelerating the creation of the silver-grey appearance and giving long life protection in a completely environmentally friendly way. SiOO:X penetrates the wood and gives a light surface that is pleasant to touch. Apart from the surface being beautiful, it also is a barrier to algae, mold, and rot from gaining a hold in the wood. The surface is very easy to wipe down making maintenance simpler. The SiOO:X treatment reinforces and strengthens the wood surface.

Note: Project photography shows SiOO:X weathered at approximately 9 months. Images 4 and 5’s color differential are due to the angle of the sun.

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.

Nestled away in the farm country of southwest Ontario, this unique build collides two homes into one building. The design stretches out each residence while still providing ample views of Eugenia Lake. The home is unified with the building materials, including our BRIGGS Shou Sugi Ban Charred Western Red Cedar and a continuous band of metal siding. Eugenia Lake is considered the “Hidden gem of Grey County,” and this home has a stunning view of it. Grey Highlands is a unique municipality recently formed in 2001 by the amalgamation, including multiple townships and villages.

BRIGGS by reSAWN TIMBER co. features Charred Western Red Cedar burnt in the Japanese style of shou sugi ban and can be used for interior or exterior wall cladding and is standardly select tight knot grade. BRIGGS is carefully charred, misted with water, cooled, brushed, and then stained/sealed. The top coat sealer is applied prior to shipping (for exterior applications, we recommend sealing the back side as well as the face). The burning process accentuates the wood grain and creates varying colors when viewed from different angles and in different light.

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.

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.
