ABOUT THE PROJECT

Gensler selected reSAWN’s KINOKO shou sugi ban charred reclaimed hemlock for the feature wall in their Philadelphia Office.

Gensler is a global design firm that partners with clients to create more livable cities, smarter workplaces and more engaging leisure destinations. Their 4,500 professionals networked across 46 locations believe quality design can transform organizations and improve people’s lives. Since 1965, they have helped clients achieve measurable business and organizational goals, delivering projects as large as a city and as small as a task light for an individual desk.

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 you will find in the CHARRED collection.  The top coat sealer is applied prior to shipping (for exterior applications, we recommend sealing the face & back).

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.
