Smoldering in Seattle :: shou sugi ban

By reSAWN TIMBER co. In CHARRED WOOD /  

ABOUT THE PROJECT

This private residence is located in the Queen Anne Hill neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. The beautifully renovated fire station features reSAWN’s SORA shou sugi ban interior wall cladding and MOYASU shou sugi ban exterior siding.

Queen Anne Hill is a neighborhood and geographic feature in Seattle, Washington, northwest of downtown. The neighborhood sits on the highest named hill in the city, with a maximum elevation of 456 feet. It covers an area of 2.8 sq mi, and has a population of about 28,000. Queen Anne is bordered by Belltown to the south, Lake Union to the east, the Lake Washington Ship Canal to the north and Interbay to the west. The hill became a popular spot for the city’s early economic and cultural elite to build their mansions, and the name derives from the architectural style typical of many of the early homes.

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).

O YA NYC :: shou sugi ban

By reSAWN TIMBER co. In CHARRED WOOD, In the Field, Inspiring Designs, Product Installs /  

 

CCS Architecture worked closely with Nancy and Tim Cushman to create O Ya New York.  The design brings the ambiance and character of their Oya – Boston to Midtown.  Located on the ground floor of a cherished townhouse within the Park South Hotel, the design is a mix of carefully orchestrated old and new.

Exposed brick and concrete are contrasted with crafted Japanese carpentry, glazed kiln tile, steel, and fabric.  The main element is the expansive eating counter made from walnut timber.  The façade and entry identify the establishment and also defines a transition from urban NYC; where you step down from the street, traverse a micro-Japanese garden of bamboo, gravel, and a large iconic granite boulder brought to the site direct from the quarry, and then enter the restaurant under a steel and wood canopy.  The entry way features reSAWN’s TORA  shou sugi ban charred cypress is select grade.
