Nestled away in the woods of Great Falls, Virginia, is The Millwood Residence on nearly 7 acres. Close by is Difficult Run River; The area has had many historical uses dating back to the early 1800s. The home features plenty of room to entertain and features indoor-outdoor living spaces to take advantage of the remarkable land that surrounds the home. This residence was designed to grow with the family and inspired by its natural surroundings. Mixed materials, including 3 reSAWN TIMBER co. products on the exterior, stone veneer, and a metal roof work together to form this exquisite residence.

Combining Atlantic White Cedar’s impressive exterior reputation and reSAWN’s design process,  ZEPHYR is durable, dimensionally stable, resistant to rot and insects, and has a grey, weathered look. As a natural building material, exterior wood cladding weathers inconsistently and can be unpredictable. reSAWN’s weathered designs solve for this by offering a consistent aesthetic from the moment of installation. For a similar look, we recommend WASHOE weathered Alaskan Yellow Cedar.

SURETO 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.
