CLEAR :: Abodo® Vulcan Decking

Sir John James Patrick Kirwan is a New Zealand rugby union coach and former player of both rugby union and rugby league. Chris Tate Architecture had the pleasure of designing Mr. Kirwan’s holiday home which is located in New Zealand.

The exterior entertaining space includes stadium-style stairs overlooking the lawn, and a covered barbecue area. The deck needed to be substantial since the summer months are largely spent outdoors. Vulcan Decking finished with Clear Protector Oil provides a low-maintenance finish that will silver off as it weathers to provide the longest possible life between maintenance cycles. Plus, it’s made using a waterborne formulation, which means it is safe on bare feet and won’t leach chemicals into the environment.

Chris Tate designs buildings of outstanding and unique modernity. Each of his designs is as individual and daring as his imagination will go. Statements that create a lasting impression on the world. To make a unique, visionary statement of your own, have a word with Chris Tate.

Situated at Lake Oswego, Oregon this modern residence features reSAWN’s NIGIRI charred Accoya wood. Inspired by a Southern California Aesthetic, this custom build home by Vanillawood aims to capture maximum natural light while taking advantage of the private wooded property. Dramatic architectural arches are repeated in the front and back.

Home to many Portland-area business leaders and professionals, Lake Oswego is known for its natural beauty, recreational and cultural amenities, and sense of community.

reSAWN takes great pride in designing products on high-performance, stable domestic softwoods and contemporary modified woods. Charring adds an extra layer of protection to wood’s structural durability. The process carbonizes the wood’s surface and creates an outer char layer that protects against rot, insects, and moisture related decay in exterior applications.

At Vanillawood they create, design, build and furnish spaces with an aesthetic that has been indelibly informed by their time living in Italy (where the husband and wife Co-Founders met), New York, Los Angeles and now Portland. After opening their doors in 2016 they are now a bustling, full-service design/build and interior design firm with a brick-and-mortar storefront and online shop where they get to work with an amazing team.

NERO :: Vulcan Cladding

Located in the hills of Hamilton, Brisbane, Zephyr Industries designed an entertainer’s high-end paradise.

Breaking tradition, this residence follows a dark and textured aesthetic; Vulcan timber cladding with NERO Protector Oil, blackened off form concrete, metal sheeting, glass and vegetation creep down the hill.

To create a range of spatial ties to the outside, whether it is views of the city and river or to beautiful landscaping, a program of vertical spaces were created.

Vulcan Decking is created from thermally modified New Zealand plantation timber. It’s treated with an organic preservative system that includes water repellent for superior durability. NERO was designed especially for Vulcan timber, to provide the longest possible life between maintenance cycles.

This residence spans five stories with 11,000 square feet of living space and unobstructed river and city views from every level.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Located in Buffalo, NY this residence features reSAWN TIMBER co. NIGIRI Accoya shou sugi ban. NIGIRI is charred Accoya® wood burnt in the Japanese style of shou sugi ban. NIGIRI can be used for interior or exterior wall cladding.

Buffalo, city and port, seat (1821) of Erie county, western New York, U.S. It is located where the eastern end of Lake Erie narrows into the Niagara River. New York’s second largest city, it is the metropolis of a large urban complex that includes the cities of Lackawanna, Lockport, Niagara Falls, and Tonawanda–North Tonawanda, as well as the towns of Amherst, Cheektowaga, Hamburg, Lancaster, and West Seneca. Lake Erie strongly affects Buffalo’s climate, moderating summer and winter temperatures and contributing much of the moisture that produces the city’s renowned heavy winter snowfalls.

John Wingfelder Architect is a small architecture studio working for owners interested in creating exceptional buildings.

If you are traveling to New Zealand, be sure to put Wanaka on your must visit list. Wanaka is a resort town set on the southern end of its eponymous lake on New Zealand’s South Island. It boasts gorgeous views of snowcapped mountains and is the gateway to the Southern Alps’ Mount Aspiring National Park — a truly inspiring wilderness of glaciers, beech forests and alpine lakes. Abodo chose to build a showcase cabin in this harsh alpine environment to demonstrate the durability and weatherability of their Vulcan Screening finished with SiOO:X on the facade and roof.

The structure is built with Abodo Vulcan timber in the raw in exposed studs and rafters combined with exposed steel portals. The raw wood on the interior brings warmth & texture to the space and harkens back to early period cottages in the area.

SiOO:X forms a silicon based shell on exterior timber, which weathers to a beautiful silver grey. Apart from the surface being beautiful, the SiOO:X treatment reinforces and strengthens the wood surface.

Vulcan thermally modified wood cladding is created from New Zealand plantation timber and engineered with a patented vertical grain orientation for superior weathering characteristics. A fine-sawn face provides beautiful grain depth and optimal coating performance.

Abodo® is a registered trade mark owned by Abodo Wood Limited.

Located on a rocky plateau in Santa Rosa Mountains, CA, this magnificent residence aptly named High Desert Retreat features reSAWN’s YOSHIMI shou sugi ban charred FSC®-Certified Accoya® interior and exterior cladding. This retreat offers captivating views of the Coachella Valley and the San Jacinto Mountains. The color palette of the home contrasts with the surrounding desert landscape’s lighter palette.

The home features crisp geometry that does not interfere but enhances the surrounding landscape. The exterior is clad with burnt and wire brushed wood cladding – YOSHIMI – to provide a highly textured finish. The benefits of Accoya wood, such as insect and rot resistance, are an excellent match for the area, including the climate’s nuances such as significant temperature changes. The interior of the home features a mix of concrete, wood cladding, stone, and steel.

Accoya is wood, but not as you know it. It is a modified timber in which a process called acetylation, a cutting-edge patented technology, enables it to resist rot, defy the elements and stay strong for decades. Guaranteed for 50 years above ground and 25 years in-ground or freshwater, its performance and properties are remarkable.

Shou sugi ban Accoya is the combination of high-performance modified wood and an award-winning charred technique. Inspired by an ancient Japanese process that dates back to the 1700s, shou sugi ban enhances the exterior performance and aesthetic value of natural wood products. Due to the enhanced durability of Accoya, a dense outer char layer allows the wood to transition to a beautiful weathered look seamlessly. All of our charred shou sugi ban Accoya products are FSC® certified.

Aidlin Darling Design bridges the demands of artistic endeavor, environmental responsibility, functional pragmatics, and financial considerations. As a multidisciplinary firm, they believe that innovations discovered through the process of design and construction can be applied to projects of any scale, use, or purpose.

TEAK :: Vulcan Cladding

Exterior Cladding

Abodo’s eco-timber screening provides a stylish look, along with privacy and shade in New Zealand’s sunshine capital

The luxury Betts Apartments are designed to address the street edge – using a variety of materials including timber screens and recessed balconies to break down the visual scale.

These generously proportioned apartments have all been custom designed by Arthouse Architects to meet the specific requirements of owners – and in most cases the apartments run right through from north to south or east to west, optimising sun, light, natural ventilation and views.

Low maintenance exterior cladding is juxtaposed with timber lined balconies and Vulcan eco-timber screening (in Teak finish), providing privacy on the south facing apartments, and both sun and privacy control for those west facing.

Abodo’s Vulcan timber is the ideal choice in timber screening. It’s thermally modified (a chemical-free treatment using heat and steam) which means it has enhanced stability and durability.

It also holds dark colours for longer, due to low moisture content in the timber. Perfect for the Nelson climate, which is known to have the highest number of sunshine hours in New Zealand.

Abodo® is a registered trade mark owned by Abodo Wood Limited.
