Reston, VA

Interior:

WEATHERWORN – solid – original patina reclaimed barn siding – rustic grade
UNFINISHED
S3S
Solid: 1/2″ thick X 3 1/2″, 4 1/2″, 5 1/2″ & 6 1/2″ random widths & 4-12′ random lenths

Located at Reston Station right on the Metro’s Silver Line, Founding Farmers Reston Station is a full-service restaurant and bar open seven days a week serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, and our Farmers Market Buffet Brunch on weekends. As a farmer-owned restaurant, almost all of their delicious food and drink – from their freshly baked bread and house-churned butter to their craft cocktails with award-winning proprietary spirits – is made from scratch, using high-quality ingredients from American family farms.

Their name “Founding Farmers” is a nod to our Founding Fathers, many of whom were devoted farmers long before they became trailblazers for our country. While those leaders built and contributed to the American agricultural tradition, Founding Farmers recognizes that our mission is also about growing a new venture with farmers at the root: one that strengthens their livelihood, gives back to the community, and makes quality food accessible to all.

Designed by Gensler, the Reston location embraces the overall mission of Founding Farmers, incorporating cozy and natural decor, quotes from the Founding Fathers and reSAWN’s WEATHERWORN reclaimed barn siding. WEATHERWORN was used as an accent wall behind booth seating and as the perimeter of the ceiling feature.

WEATHERWORN is ANTIQUE RECLAIMED BARN SIDING in the raw – for interior wall cladding. The boards go through the typical reclamation process of power washing and denailing with the original patina of the board face left untouched. No finish is required as the boards have been naturally oxidized over the years to produce a tough, weather resistant “skin”. Typical character marks include mineral staining, color changes, weathering, checking, nail holes, knots, and heavy patina. Due to the nature of this material, thicknesses tend to vary slightly. WEATHERWORN is available in a variety of species and colors. This material is provided as a mix of light/dark grey and light/dark brown tones.

reSAWN offers antique reclaimed woods in solid & engineered construction for flooring, interior wall cladding, and millwork/stair applications. The unique beauty of antique wood is preserved & celebrated in this collection. Expect a warm palette of colors, with dense & varying grain patterns. Typical character marks include mineral staining, color changes, weathering, checking, nail holes, and knots.

1000 F Street :: TAIYO Shou Sugi Ban Charred Cypress Interior Cladding

TAIYO shou SUGI BAN CHARRED CYPRESS

Interior Wall Cladding:

TAIYO shou sugi ban charred cypress
Burnt and sealed on face only
Select Grade
Fire Treated to Class A
13/16″ X 5-1/8” X 6′ – 16′ random lengths
Tongue & Groove

Located near Metro Center in the heart of Washington DC’s East End/Penn Quarter neighborhood, 1000 F Street is a boutique, trophy quality 11 story office and retail building. For one of their recent office space renovations, KGD Architects created a bright, modern space which utilized reSAWN’s TAIYO shou sugi ban charred cypress throughout the entire office.

TAIYO was used as interior wall cladding in the elevator bank, reception area, break area, and conference room. KGD also incorporated TAIYO into the design of the conference room as a ceiling feature, cladding on a bench that ran the entire length of the room and used as the face of a custom credenza which serves as the focal point of the room. In the break area, TAIYO was included on the lighting fixture and as also used as cladding on the base of the counter.

TAIYO features CHARRED CYPRESS burnt in the Japanese style of shou sugi ban. TAIYO can be used for interior or exterior wall cladding and is available in select grade or #2 common grade cypress. The higher the grade, the better it is felt the wood will perform, especially in exterior applications. See our CHARRED Grading Guide for more info.

TAIYO 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.

TAIYO 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.

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.

Located in Tysons, VA, Atrium Cafe is a family-owned business and an area favorite since 2000. With fresh, made to order food made with only high quality ingredients, Atrium Cafe’s goal is 100% customer satisfaction. They have a variety of options on their menu including gourmet coffee and tea, made to order breakfast and lunch items, and offer catering services.

For Atrium Cafe’s new space, which opened in 2017, The M Group used their expertise in architecture and design to create a space that is inviting, functional and beautiful. reSAWN’s STOCKPORT black walnut was used as interior cladding in several areas. STOCKPORT helped soften the modern design and create warmth throughout the space.

STOCKPORT features wide plank plain sawn select or character grade American Black walnut prefinished with a dark stain and natural oil. 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. 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.

reSAWN’s black walnut products utilize the steaming process to darken lighter sapwood. Steamed walnut creates a deep, rich walnut tone, and the resulting product has a more even monochromatic brown aesthetic across heartwood and sapwood. In addition to steaming, reSAWN specializes in various finishing techniques that highlight the natural beauty of black walnut.

Select Grade
3/4″ Thick X 5-1/8″ Width
Tongue & Groove

About the Project

Less than ten miles out of Washington, D.C., Arlington, VA is one of the largest D.C. suburbs with a sizable housing market. The Pollard Street Residence takes inspiration from many modern design themes with a large, open floor plan that allows natural light to flow into the home through expansive windows. Additionally, the inclusion of reSAWN’s NIGIRI shou sugi ban Accoya touches on the growing shift towards sustainably focused, natural wall cladding materials.

The general design of the project uses the natural tones of NIGIRI and the wood floors to allow bright and colorful accent pieces to bring life to the space. Specifically, the sitting area employs the grey of the shou sugi ban Accoya and sofa cushions to contrast the natural succulents and pink rug.

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.

Sagatov Design Build is a full-service design, architecture, and real estate firm that is based out of Arlington, VA. With over 27 years of high end experience, Sagatov Associates is one of Northern Virginia’s Premier Design-Build firms. If you demand quality and service, they want to serve your needs.

The second location under the Mistral brand umbrella, Mistral KOP is a chef driven restaurant concept at the King of Prussia mall. Four-time James Beard semifinalist, Scott Anderson, will continue to oversee the Princeton and King of Prussia locations. Different than the typical mall dining experience, Mistral’s exterior and interior designs combined with the seasonal, local menu are set to introduce a dynamic culinary experience to the area. Found throughout the project are diverse examples of reSAWN products: WABI SABI shou sugi ban exterior siding, GOVERNOR european white oak flooring, and custom stairs designed to match the flooring.

Eimer Design, out of Philadelphia, designed the exterior and interior of the new restaurant. When considering Mistral’s culinary style, the selection of WABI SABI shou sugi ban charred exterior siding is clear because of the siding’s durability, FSC® certification, and extended product life cycle. Additionally, the shou sugi ban exterior siding stands out from the rest of the mall’s neutral colored facade.

The interior of the restaurant is brightly lit with pendant lighting, white textured interior cladding, and GOVERNOR european white oak flooring. reSAWN’s custom designed stair parts lead up to a lifted platform lounge area that features couches and other decorative seating. Mistral plans to expand their seating capacity with an outdoor, patio dining area.

Mistral opened its first location in Princeton, NJ in 2013, offering locals and passersby alike a stunning mix of taste, style and atmosphere. Food activists and culinary pioneer’s chef Scott Anderson and chef de cuisine Ben Nerenhausen place a superlative emphasis on fresh, local ingredients, ultimately creating a progressive menu of seasonally curated small plates for guests to savor and share time and again.

At Eimer Design, they provide their clients with welcoming, contemporary spaces that capture their ideals and stay within their schedules and budgets. They base their service on three key principals: listening, specific and sensitive design solutions, and quality early budgets.

About the Project

Dixon Hughes Goodman, LLP included reSAWN’s KINOKO shou sugi ban reclaimed hemlock wall cladding in their new Gaithersburg location. Located in the LEED-EB Platinum certified, One Washingtonian Center, Dixon Hughes Goodman made the move from Rockville, MD with an increased focus on sustainability. Gensler-DC designed the office space with sustainable features and a simple aesthetic.

“The amenities of the office park overlooking a lake are top notch, and the location is extremely favorable to our workforce,” managing partner, Brian Carlton said in a Dixon Hughes Goodman press release. The office lobby features a large screen television and a wrap around front desk with KINOKO shou sugi ban wall cladding. Natural light streams into the main hallway through large office windows that provide a view into the One Washingtonian Center office park and lake. Each office has a display screen allowing employees to reserve conference rooms for meetings and teleconferences.

With a people-centered design, Gensler-DC was tasked with designing a space that is both aesthetically excellent and accessible for both employees and office visitors. The KINOKO shou sugi ban is highlighted with overhead lighting that accents the reclaimed hemlock’s natural, complex wood grain. A simple color theme that includes dark gray carpets and yellow furniture creates a warm, inviting interior.

This project features reclaimed hemlock that has been burnt in the Japanese tradition of shou sugi ban. This ancient technique is gaining new life as a unique and modern interior and exterior wall cladding. The wood is carefully charred, misted with water, cooled, brushed to remove dust and loose debris, and then stained/sealed to create the unique designs from reSAWN. The top coat sealer is applied prior to shipping (for exterior applications, we recommend sealing the face & back).

With more than 2,000 people in 13 states, Dixon Hughes Goodman ranks among the nation’s top 20 public accounting firms. Offering comprehensive assurance, tax and advisory services, the firm focuses on major industry lines and serves clients in all 50 states as well as internationally.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

With a primary goal of revitalizing Boston’s South End neighborhood, Elkus Manfredi Architects created a design aesthetic that focuses on returning the area to a lively, dynamic mixed-use community. Drawing inspiration from former building owners–the Boston Herald–Ink Block has become a pillar in Boston’s revitalization project with classic Bostonian motifs and contemporary, edgy design features.

Ink Block is comprised of three different apartment complexes that have vastly different design themes. 3 Ink offers a traditional industrial design that includes warmer colors and wood integrated throughout the building, and houses reSAWN’s WEATHERWORN reclaimed barn siding in the lobby.

reSAWN’s WEATHERWORN reclaimed barn siding is a beautiful way to incorporate antique building materials into a modern design. WEATHERWORN is an original board face reclaimed wood that is power washed and de-nailed with the original patina left untouched.

The wood is unfinished due to the natural oxidization process that produces a tough, weather resistant exterior. WEATHERWORN is available in a variety of different species and colors.

Elkus Manfredi Architects specified the dark brown and slightly maroon coloring as an ode to the building’s former use as a print facility. Referencing the CMYK color palette used in newspaper printing, WEATHERWORN evokes the rustic, working-class essence of print publications.

In line with their contemporary theme and antique accents, Elkus Manfredi Architects hoped to make Ink Block an icon of sustainable building. Ink Block sought to achieve four basic sustainable design goals: resource efficient, support health and wellness for its users, be flexible and adaptable, and be durable and maintainable. With WEATHERWORN being a reclaimed wood that does not contain any VOC finishes and has lasted for countless decades, the wood offered numerous sustainable qualities to the building.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Faced with an aging workforce and an outdated office space, Nixon Peabody, LLP worked with global architectural firm, Perkins + Will to begin plans that would discard its “corner office culture” quite literally with an office design that emphasizes communal workspaces and a cohesive effort towards a firm-wide goal.

Perkins + Will specified reSAWN’s FSC ® certified rift & quarter sawn select grade white oak flooring as a beautiful, modern design element that is also sustainable. With a focus on becoming the law firm most welcoming to Millenials, NP’s selection of FSC ® certified rift and quarter sawn white oak from reSAWN TIMBER co. joins the lobby’s living green wall as two exciting aesthetic features that promote sustainability. The open floor plan, glass conference rooms, living green wall, and FSC ® certified white oak flooring combine to create a modern office space that rejects hierarchy in favor of a community-centered office culture.

reSAWN TIMBER co. offers rift & quarter sawn lumber for a consistent, clean board face. The consistent board face consists of a mostly vertical grain that lends added stability to quarter & rift sawn boards making them less likely to cup or crown. Expansion and contraction occurs parallel to the direction of the growth rings – in this case vertically – resulting in added stability and making these cuts ideal for wide plank flooring and wood flooring over radiant heat. The select grade eliminates any large character marks, and limits the allowances to very small burls and knots.

The FSC ® certification promotes environmentally sound, socially beneficial, and economically prosperous management of the world’s forests. The FSC’s ® vision is to meet current needs for forest products without compromising the health of the world’s forests for future generations.
