Three years after installation, the IKIGAI Shou Sugi Ban charred Accoya® exterior cladding and roofing on the Six Square House continues to exhibit remarkable performance. Despite exposure to diverse weather conditions, the cladding maintains its initial aesthetic, highlighting the exceptional durability and stability of Accoya wood. IKIGAI – FSC®-Certified, Shou Sugi Ban Accoya® wood can be used for interior or exterior cladding. IKIGAI is finished with a dark gray topcoat designed to protect the wall cladding as it naturally weathers over time. reSAWN’s award-winning charring technique adds depth and dimension to Accoya’s natural grain pattern. Accoya’s modification process eliminates the need to refinish the cladding. However, to get the day one look back, the IKIGAI top coat can be reapplied.
During summer 2023, VERSO Works transformed the Six Square House into a captivating art gallery, titling it ‘The Bridge’. VERSO Works is a traveling furniture and design gallery that seeks to reimagine conventional retail experiences through unique site-specific exhibitions. The exhibit features creative work from 36 designers and artists from countries around the world, including Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. The 3,500 sq. ft. house offers an abundance of natural light and open areas making it an inviting environment for visitors and the perfect backdrop for the artwork. The exhibit gained attention from publications such as IFDM, Design Boom, and HypeBeast.
