This traditional shingle style home in Greenwich was transformed into a modern European style open floor plan designed by Tanner White Architects and built by Gatehouse Partners.
reSAWN’s SANTA ANA pre-weathered western red cedar is featured on the exterior and interior cladding of this home.
reSAWN TIMBER co. developed our exterior pre-finished, pre-weathered product line based on a need in the building materials market, the observations of experienced industry leaders and a first-hand understanding of customer desires and expectations.
Our pre-weathered designs mimic the look of textured wood that has been exposed to years of exterior elements and left to weather with grace. This design solution solves for wood’s natural propensity to gray out by resembling a weathered look at the time of installation, with little aesthetic change as it ages in place. For interior applications, expect little to no change from the day of installation.
Tanner White Architects is a innovative design group of talented architects and designers specializing in residential design. Our philosophy hinges on the belief that our design is the embodiment of our clients dreams, and as architects it is our mission to create a home that brings that vision to life with both function and beauty.

In the daylight, Blur is a shadow that seems to float above the ground, a dark silhouette countered by the light that lives inside. In the cloak of evening, Blur projects its warm reflection of a home onto a dark hillside.
The art consultant homeowners experience the balance in contrast, the push and pull of their mountain home. The juxtaposing identity of the structure that blurs the line between interior and exterior, rugged and refined, but lacks nothing in transition. The interior space, enwrapped in white and accented by simple finishes, remains inviting and soft, while a fireproof wood exterior and durable sheath of lustrous metal wrap the outside like a cocoon, ready to counter the harsh environment of the mountains that it reflects. From the plan to the finished piece, the structure is a crowning point for Modernist ideas in architecture, a match of minimalism and unbridled functionality for a family home. A couple and two children reside comfortably in a uniform upper floor that creates a natural cohesion of fine art decoration and homestead, a working collaboration of high-end house and home, friend gatherings welcome. From the driveway to the front step, the natural undulation and variance of the home is something to behold, an experience that only can be truly appreciated standing on white oak floors, looking out on the Colorado mountain landscape from within Blur Residence.
The exterior of the residence is clad in reSAWN’s DUNCAN 2.0, which features Charred Western Red Cedar burnt in the Japanese style of shou sugi ban. DUNCAN 2.0 can be used for interior or exterior wall cladding and is standardly select tight knot grade. DUNCAN 2.0can be treated to Class A Fire Rating for Interior Application.
DUNCAN 2.0is 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 backside 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.
Our charring & sealing process makes for beautifully designed exterior wood siding. Like any exterior wood siding prefinished or finished in place, these materials will weather naturally over time and will require maintenance. For interior applications, expect little to no change.

The most recent collaboration between Ross Barney Architects and McDonald’s unveils a Net-Zero Energy restaurant at the Walt Disney World Resort, featuring over 15,000 sq. ft. of reSAWN’s HALLO shou sugi ban charred Kebony wood.
Aiming to become the first Net Zero Energy quick service restaurant, McDonald’s wanted to stick to its commitment to building a better future through “Scale for Good” when building this Disney Flagship location. Incorporating visible and impactful symbols of change, the restaurant deploys architecture and technology to firmly place itself in the future.
“Under a shed clad in solar panels, the restaurant is a sustainable and healthy response to the Florida climate. Energy consumption is reduced by optimizing building and kitchen systems. On-site generation strategies include: 18,727 square feet of photovoltaic panels, 4,809 square feet of glazing integrated photovoltaic panels (BiPV), and 25 off-the-grid parking lot lights produce more energy than the restaurant uses.” – Ross Barney Architects
HALLO by reSAWN TIMBER co. features Kebony shou sugi ban exterior siding that’s specifically designed to create a beautifully charred aesthetic. HALLO can be used for exterior siding.
Kebony shou sugi ban exterior siding is a beautiful wood recommended by leading architects. It is sustainable, durable, and requires no maintenance beyond normal cleaning. Kebony’s performance has been proven in a variety of applications including decking and cladding.
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.

Denver’s River North Arts District, better known as RiNo, began as a grass roots movement to connect local art organizations. In a neighborhood with small craft breweries, coffee shops, and restaurants, the 3011 Lawrence project mixes a modern, industrial style with natural HADAKA shou sugi ban wood siding to create a residence that recognizes the local art scene and sustainability movement.
With a double lot sized property, 3011 Lawrence is designed to maximize both and indoor spaces. The project features wide, three level front and back sections that allow for ample living areas while the middle section is narrow with high ceilings. On the exterior, the house utilizes an industrial aesthetic with shipping containers, HADAKA shou sugi ban, and concrete. The backyard includes the original property’s outer brick wall and an in ground trampoline.
reSAWN’s CHARRED offering features cypress, western red cedar, Accoya, Kebony, black walnut, red oak, white oak and reclaimed hemlock that is burnt in the Japanese tradition of shou sugi ban. 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, “shousugi-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 their facility in Telford, PA.

About the Project
Overlooking the Brown Bays of Lake Minnetonka, the Wayzata Residence captures a lake house aesthetic with a light, airy color pallet and a natural, wood facade with reSAWN’s NIGIRI shou sugi ban Accoya. The private home takes advantage of the waterside views with large windows, an open deck, and a west-facing balcony that provides a winter view to Lake Minnetonka. Form meets function with transition spaces that allow the front of the house to act as a sound barrier with storage and utility areas while the back, lake facing portion of the house maximizes exposure to nature and relaxation.
To further the transitional elements of the home, Snow Kreilich specified two different widths and milling profiles of NIGIRI shou sugi ban Accoya, and the mitered corners created seamless, rectangular angles. Additionally, the gray facade combined with the white interior and exterior accents created a simple, lake house essence. Describing the project, Snow Kreilich write, “…the facade and interior finishes give the house a casual lake house atmosphere, fit for both large and intimate gatherings where visitors can admire the lake and surrounding landscaped site from the expansive patios and open living spaces.”
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. CHARRED shou sugi ban Accoya combines two naturally durable solutions. By significantly enhancing the durability and dimensional stability of fast-growing and abundantly available certified wood species, Accoya wood provides compelling environmental advantages over slow-growing hardwoods (which are often unsustainably sourced), woods treated with toxic preservative chemicals, and non-renewable carbon-intensive materials such as plastics, steel and concrete.
Snow Kreilich Architects is a nationally recognized and award winning architectural studio based practice in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The studio was formerly Julie Snow Architects, founded in 1995 by Julie Snow. With each project led by design principals Julie Snow and Matt Kreilich, the studio focuses on producing architecture that performs against multiple measures of design success. This focus has resulted in consistent design recognition for projects that rely on a fresh and intensive design investigation of every project. They have developed shared working methodologies that result in consistently intelligent buildings that are well conceived and carefully detailed.

On a quiet block in Manhattan Beach, CA, the 21st Street residence garners immediate attention for its lush, green landscaping and use of HOWAITO shou sugi ban exterior siding. The property maintains a small footprint, but it’s noticeable for a clear commitment to color contrasts and sustainability. In addition to charred shou sugi ban siding, the residence’s exterior captures the setting California sun with an abundance of large windows.
Perhaps more visually intriguing than the natural wood siding, design and build firm Beach House Design & Development included a garage door, gate, and fence crafted out of HOWAITO shou sugi ban charred cypress. HOWAITO’s juxtaposition with the white features of the house highlights the charred wood’s texture and color variation. Additionally, the dark colored balcony railing creates a dynamic level of contrast between dark and light aesthetics.

Just two blocks up from the Pacific Ocean, this Manhattan Beach, CA residence embodies the region’s architecture with large windows, natural materials, and a modern aesthetic. The beach house takes advantage of the ocean climate with multi-level wrap around porches that include chairs pointing towards the setting sun. With a focus on sustainability and natural materials, design and build firm, Beach House Design and Development specified reSAWN’s IRUKA shou sugi ban exterior siding.
Due to narrow beachfront lots, many Manhattan Beach properties take on a similar slender, rectangular shape. The shape allows homeowners to maximize interior square footage with a reduced footprint. The Beach House Design & Development home rises slightly over the other homes with its open two-story foyer that complements the 3-story entry glass curtain wall. Additionally, open expansive rooms are flooded with natural lighting through the exterior floor to ceiling window and door systems. Complementing the use of IRUKA shou sugi ban exterior siding and adding more natural wood, the interior is largely made up of reclaimed French Oak and Walnut.

Carefully crafted by First Light Studio Ltd, a new housing Community featuring these eye-cathcing townhouses is nestled between Waikanae Beach and the Township is Ngārara.
The network of internal greenways and neighborhood parks at Ngārara keeps residence connected with nature. All while providing convenience and connection giving easy access to so many recreational and commercial amenities.
The aspiration was to create high-quality living while preserving the natural landscape. Surrounding areas consists of high value on the unique protected wetland and native bush; putting a greater emphasis on people than cars, while connecting naturally to the surrounding neighborhoods.
“The land has been lived on by four generations of the Smith family. The family feel intimately connected to the land and have made great efforts to protect and improve the properties native and natural assets.” – Maypole Environmental
Natural Systems, Connectivity, Social Equity, and Character are the four cornerstones of sustainable living. The “ground-up” approach to developing Ngārara into a series of residential neighborhoods is still new to New Zealand. It means we are designing it to fit with the existing environment, land and community; not impose on it.
In a project where preserving the natural landscape and connecting naturally with surrounding neighborhoods are two key drivers, Abodo®’s natural timbers fit perfectly.
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.
The thermal modification process and vertical grain structure give Vulcan cladding superior stability and reduced resin content. It’s naturally durable so the timber doesn’t require any chemical preservatives, and has a beautiful, consistent brown tone.
Vulcan Cladding in NERO finish creates a striking contrast with the lighter timber, finished in SiOO:X.
SiOO:X is a natural wood coating based on nature’s technology, which silvers off beautifully over time into a low maintenance patina.
