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Faced with an aging workforce and an outdated office space, Nixon Peabody, LLP worked with global architectural firm, Perkins + Will to begin plans that would discard its “corner office culture” quite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.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

reSAWN TIMBER co.’s Japanese-inspired MONOGATARI charred wood is the perfect compliment to this vibrant, modern sushi restaurant in Boerum Hill Brooklyn.

Sushi Ganso, a part of the Ganso Group, is run by Harris Salat and Chef Tadashi Ono, longtime collaborators and co-authors of popular Japanese cookbooks.

Tadashi, Ganso’s Partner and Culinary Director, is a celebrated chef who has won plaudits for both his Japanese and French cooking in The New York Times, Gourmet, Food & Wine and other publications. From 2003 to 2012 he served as Executive Chef of Matsuri.

Harris, Ganso’s Managing Partner, is a Brooklyn native long fascinated by Japan. Harris’s stories about Japanese cuisine have appeared in The New York Times, Saveur, Gourmet and other publications. Harris has also trained in Japanese restaurant kitchens in New York, Tokyo and Kyoto.

Sushi Ganso was designed by Amy Butchko of Butchko & Co. Amy worked with natural materials to create a casual, comfortable atmosphere that evokes a Japanese sensibility.

“reSAWN TIMBER was a pleasure to work with–they offered a large assortment of beautiful materials, returned pricing promptly, offered samples as necessary, and could even fabricate furniture. I couldn’t be more please with the result and will definitely look to them in the future for specialty lumber needs.”
– Amy Butchko

On the wall opposite the sushi bar is a giant mural of a sea bream gyo-taku (Japanese fish print) painted by the renown New York-based Japanese artist Momoyo Torimitsu. The inscription below the fish reads

“I’ve come to Sushi Ganso to be eaten.”

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Completion Date: 2012
Budget: $2.6 million
Size: 5000 sf

This early nineteenth century barn was renovated with minimum change in structure or footprint. Originally a stone bank barn with stables and paddock facing south on the lower level and a large hayloft on the upper level, it has been transformed into a residence that celebrates the simple form, openness, and stone and wood finishes of the original structure.

All interior structural framing walls were left in place, while beams were selectively removed and reinforced to incorporate a new second floor that accommodates two bedrooms including a master bedroom, two bathrooms, study, dressing area, and closets. All existing structural stone walls were left in place with portions selectively exposed on the interior of the building, which were repointed and parged to match the original look while improving their thermal and moisture control properties. The existing barn yard wall was also repaired and parged to remain in-place, defining the new formal garden area.

New systems, roofing, and insulation were integrated into the existing structure to make this barn a comfortable residence. The kitchen’s design and proximity to large indoor and outdoor dining make it ideal as a working kitchen for small dinners and a catering kitchen for larger gatherings.

Reuse was an integral part of this project. All existing barn wood siding and large old-growth plank flooring was removed, locally kiln dried, and prepped for reuse in all of the built-in cabinetry, including bookshelves and all storage in the new kitchen. Any wood finishes introduced that were not part of this original barn structure were salvaged from other barns across PA and West Virginia.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

reSAWN TIMBER co.’s corporate headquarters was recently renovated to house executive management and support staff, plus plenty of manufacturing space for product design & production.

The goal of the design/build renovation with Ernst Brothers was to fit out the public spaces and the main office areas – lobby, showroom, cafe, main corridors, conference room, and outdoor deck and entertainment area to better reflect the clientele that we serve – architects and interior designers.

reSAWN’s lobby and showroom are clad entirely in reSAWN’s MATTERHORN wide plank European White Oak wall cladding. A custom scalloped-edge reception desk made by Dwight Alderfer with a mix of locally sourced, antique reclaimed white and red oak beams along with a custom prefab concrete reception desktop is the focal point of the lobby.

The showroom is anchored by a custom made North American White Oak table carefully crafted by JB Woodworking. Antique finished Brass shelves designed & finished by reSAWN TIMBER co frame the walls. The showroom pendant lights were designed by Tom Raffield Ltd. Our product samples are housed in repurposed Hamilton Vintage Wooden Flat file drawers circa 1920 sourced from Brookvale Artisans.

Multiple reSAWN TIMBER co. project photos framed in White Oak cascade down the main office corridor to the cafe. The cafe is framed by a vertical slat wall constructed of North American White Oak in our AMITY matte polyurethane finish. The custom cafe table is made from antique reclaimed White Oak & finished with hardwax oil. The custom cabinetry is made with AMITY European White Oak as well.

At the other end of the building, the conference room features an up-cycled, locally sourced, bookmatched Black Walnut charred live edge conference table, designed & finished by reSAWN TIMBER co. The live edge of the table emphasizes the knots and grain structure, highlighting the material’s character and beauty. With the dark tones of the walnut top and the blackened steel base, the aesthetic is simplistic and modern.

Ernst Brothers is an award-winning custom builder and renovation firm recognized for the skills and enthusiasm it brings to each project. Their mission is to deliver custom construction solutions of exceptional quality, integrity, and beauty to discerning clients who have an appreciation for their thorough process, specialized skill set, responsiveness, and professionalism.

In the near future, we plan to hold showroom and manufacturing facility tours, pop-up events, and industry related educational workshops.
