ABOUT THE PROJECT

HOK recently designed the expanded headquarters of Air Lease Corporation in Century City. The design included reSAWN’s WILLIWAW Alaskan Yellow Cedar that is sourced anywhere from Alaska to Oregon and intended to provide a high performing, natural material.

Air Lease is a leading aircraft leasing company engaged in purchasing commercial aircraft and leasing them to its airline customers worldwide. The 30,000 square foot expansion involved both exterior and interior, glass enclosed offices, administrative support work stations, conference rooms, reception area, open collaboration space, a Flight Simulation Room and a flexible Multipurpose Room, subdivided by a SkyFold Partition with an adjacent Pre-function/Lounge Area for food service and casual interaction.

HOK designed the space to convey the sleek, elegant modernity, and technological sophistication of the state-of-the art aircraft that are the core of their business. HOK is a global design, architecture, engineering and planning firm. They design buildings and spaces that respond to the needs of people and the environment.

WILLIWAW can be used for interior or exterior wall cladding and is available in clear vertical grade. Clear vertical grade 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. WILLIWAW can be treated to Class A Fire Rating for Interior Applications – please call to inquire. For exterior applications reSAWN recommends sealing the face and back.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The Independence Health Group is the leading health insurance company and strives to build healthier lives for its customers. Serving more than 8 million people nationwide and nearly 2.5 million in the region, the newly designed IBX Center for Innovation included reSAWN TIMBER co.’s BELLEPORT black walnut flooring as a part of its new two-story, 30,000 sq foot building, specified by Meyer Design Inc. It also included reSAWN’s KOI shou sugi ban charred cypress interior wall cladding at the cafe and our BLACK & TAN reclaimed Hemlock wall cladding on the logo feature wall.

BELLEPORT by reSAWN TIMBER co. features wide plank plain sawn select or character grade American Black WALNUT prefinished with matte polyurethane for flooring or wall cladding. The wide face width showcases the full character and grain pattern that black walnut has to offer.

American Black Walnut is a heavy, strong wood defined by its rich deep browns and beautiful figure. PLAIN SAWN boards are produced by cutting tangentially to a tree’s growth rings producing the familiar “cathedral” or “flame” pattern on the board face. The annual growth rings are generally at a 0° – 30° angle to the face of the board.

The grain pattern of black walnut is mostly straight and open, but some boards have burled or curly grain.

KOI features CHARRED CYPRESS burnt in the Japanese style of shou sugi ban. KOI can be used for interior or exterior wall cladding. For exterior cladding, we offer Select Grade. For interior applications, we offer #2 common and Select Grade. The higher the grade, the better it is felt the wood will perform, especially in exterior applications.

BLACK & TAN features antique reclaimed hemlock that has been wire brushed to accentuate the unique grain pattern of hemlock and finished with a stain/sealer. Expect lots of texture and variation to the grain. Standardly used for wall and ceiling cladding (not appropriate for flooring). HEMLOCK is one of the harder of the softwoods with a Janka rating of 500. BLACK & TAN is rich in both color and character marks include mineral staining, color changes, weathering, checking, nail holes, and knots. Face nailing recommended.

Burnt and sealed on face only
13/16” thick X 5-1/2” wide X 6/16’ random lengths
S4S

Featured in Philadelphia Style Magazine – Well Crafted Contemporary

Located in one of Philadelphia’s trendiest neighborhoods, this Shackamaxon Townhouse was designed to accommodate a newly retired couple who collects all kinds of art, including paintings, sculptures, pottery and more. Interior designer, Shila Scarlet Griffith of SG23 Design, suggested using our KUJAKU shou sugi ban charred cypress for a slat accent wall that spans two floors. This accent wall was designed to easily hang and move artwork without compromising the material or the wall.

Griffith strives to take risks and use her creativity to design beautiful, functional spaces which in this case, combines modern architecture with antique fixtures. She was able to bring the owners’ shared vision to life with her ability to create one-of-a-kind features, including the slat accent wall.

KUJAKU features CHARRED CYPRESS burnt in the Japanese style of shou sugi ban. It can be used as exterior siding or interior wall cladding, and is available in either select or #2 common grade. The higher the grade, the higher the wood is expected to perform, especially in exterior applications. reSAWN’s cypress is 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.

KUJAKU 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’s CHARRED offering includes 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.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The renovations at Hood Museum at Dartmouth College include reSAWN’s rift & quarter sawn, select grade North American white oak flooring, specified by Todd Williams Billie Tsien architectural firm. Available as FSC Certified upon request, this flooring was specified in 4″ wide planks, with a high percentage of rift sawn to yield the clean, modern end result look.

RIFT SAWN lumber is produced by first cutting the log into quarters and then making alternating cuts that are perpendicular to the annual growth rings. QUARTER SAWING produces boards with mostly vertical-grain and a distinctive figuring often referred to as “flecks”, “flakes” or “ray flecks” caused by the medullary rays of the log.

ABOUT HOOD MUSEUM AT DARTMOUTH COLLEGE

In early 2019, the Hood Museum concluded a physical expansion and renovation project, as well as a reinvigoration of what it does and how it does it. With architects Tod Williams and Billie Tsien and their team, as well as colleagues in the Dartmouth President’s, Provost’s, and Campus Planning Offices, the Hood Museum of Art staff immersed itself in this purpose-driven building project, which renewed this thirty-five-year-old institution on a campus that turned 250 in 2019.

The museum tripled its teaching capacity from one study-storage room to three smart object-study rooms, each designed to accommodate a particular type of experiential engagement with objects of aesthetic and cultural significance. These teaching spaces are located in a dedicated center, alongside an object-staging room and curatorial and security offices.

The museum also expanded its galleries by a third and added to its existing facility a new public concourse that serves as a forum for the college’s arts initiatives, as well as a welcoming entry into the new museum and object-study center. The expansion also encompassed improvements to the original Charles Moore galleries, new workspaces and meeting rooms for staff, and a renewal of the museum’s auditorium and general visitor-services accommodations.

Located in Washington DC, Edgeworth Economics provides economic, financial, and quantitative analysis – including expert testimony – for legal disputes and a variety of business matters. For their recent office renovation, OTJ Architects created an open office space with uninterrupted sightlines and collaborative work spaces. They also utilized reSAWN’s shou sugi ban charred cypress elements throughout the space as an elegant pathfinding device that guides staff through a sequential spatial experience.

reSAWN’s charred cypress is burnt in the Japanese style of shou sugi ban and can be used for interior or exterior wall cladding. The wood is carefully charred, misted with water, cooled, brushed and coated with a clear sealer. The top coat sealer is applied prior to shipping. The burning process accentuates the wood grain and creates varying colors when viewed from different angles and in different light.

reSAWN’s CHARRED designs feature cypress, black walnut, red oak, white oak and reclaimed hemlock that is burnt in the Japanese tradition of shou sugi ban. Our award-winning CHARRED wood pays 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.

Prefinished with hardwax oil, voids filled
Silid: ¾”thick x 5” wide x 2’-10’ random lengths

“We started with a simple idea, and a familiar one: Less is more. The Hamilton is for savvy urbanites seeking less complexity and more efficiency. Less so-called luxury and more genuine worth. Less unneeded space and more thoughtful design. Less ho-hum and more fun.” — The Hamilton

The Hamilton is a 500k square foot mixed-use development located on the Community College of Philadelphia’s campus and burgeoning Museum District neighborhood. It was developed by Radnor Property Group who teamed MSD alongside MYArchitecture. They drew inspiration from the growing trend toward living more sensibly, more sustainably :: Reducing our impact on the planet :: Owning less stuff but sharing more experiences — an ethos shared by reSAWN. LOCK HAVEN is sourced from domestic newly harvested hickory which reSAWN finished with a zero-VOC natural oil that respects the look and feel of the wood.

LOCK HAVEN by reSAWN TIMBER co. features plain sawn, character grade, newly harvested HICKORY prefinished with our hardwax oil. Hickory is one of the hardest domestic woods available with a Janka rating of 1820. PLAIN SAWN boards are produced by cutting tangentially to a tree’s growth rings producing the familiar “cathedral” or “flame” pattern on the board face. The annual growth rings are generally at a 0° – 30° angle to the face of the board.

The grain pattern of hickory is mostly straight and open, but some boards have burled or curly grain. The heartwood of hickory is tan or reddish; while the sapwood is white to cream, with fine brown lines creating a pleasing mix of colors.

Our natural oil is non-toxic and 100% VOC-free and produces a durable, matte finish that respects the natural look and feel of the wood.

Comcast appointed Gensler to develop the interiors in collaboration with Foster + Partners and Daroff Design, Inc. to create the building’s interior environment. Clear glass walls, bold colors, low-partitions, and light oak wood furnishings combine to create a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere that enhances communication, celebrates the brand and serves as an important recruiting tool.

Gensler Chose to incorporate reSAWN’s JAVELIN reclaimed oak cladding in the main elevator lobby and hallways and MERCER white oak cladding on certain room entrances. Plus,

Gensler included a custom RSTco. conference table and a RSTco. coffee table for the Comcast Labs room.

Foster + Partners won an international competition to design the Comcast Innovation and Technology Centre, a mixed-use tower combining high-tech research and development spaces with a hotel at 1800 Arch Street in Philadelphia, next to the existing Comcast Tower. At 1121 feet, it is the city’s tallest building and America’s tallest outside New York and Chicago. With an efficient, sustainable design targeting LEED Platinum, a vertical series of ‘pocket parks’ and inspiring social spaces, the tower provides a unique, highly flexible workplace that can nurture innovation and help the world’s largest media company attract the industry’s leading talent.
