ABOUT THE PROJECT
Located a brief ferry ride away from North Haven, NY, Shelter Island is a secluded coastal town with houses overlooking the water and ample places to watch the sunset. Upon arriving at the residence, an ivy archway with a rustic wooden door begins the path to the pool house that features reSAWN TIMBER co.’s MONOGATARI shou sugi ban charred cypress exterior siding.
Launched in 2003, NeoCon East has positioned itself as the premier design expo and conference for interiors on the east coast. After twelve years in Baltimore, MD, NeoCon East changed its location to Philadelphia, PA in 2015. A successful first year convinced the conference organizers to once again host the trade show in the ‘City of Brotherly Love’. Just an hour drive down the Pennsylvania Turnpike, reSAWN TIMBER co. was excited to bring its wide array of shou sugi ban, flooring wall cladding, and furniture collections to the Pennsylvania Convention Center for NeoCon East 2016.
CoreLife Eatery has locations throughout New York and Ohio, and is focused on providing customers with a wholistic eating experience that nourishes the body and soul. reSAWN’s ORENJI shou sugi ban charred cypress wall cladding is featured throughout multiple CoreLife locations as an accent to the restaurant’s orange and blue design theme.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
This private residence is located in the mountains of Asheville, NC. Built into the densely forested mountainside, the home combines timeless building materials and a modern structural design. reSAWN’s IRUKA shou sugi ban charred cypress exterior siding and rustic stone columns are major features that contribute to the overall design concept.
From reSAWN’s CHARRED NEUTRAL collection, IRUKA features a compelling mix of browns and differing wood grain widths. The color scheme of this shou sugi ban product completes the naturalist design aesthetic that is so prominent in the Asheville architecture scene. Carlton-Edwards DesignBuild specified IRUKA as a sleek feature to accent the rustic nature of the home.
Pizza (216), a New York style, brick oven pizzeria, is located in Cleveland, OH. With an interior motif that sets a maroon color scheme against dark, brown seating, the dining room and bar are cohesively finished with reSAWN’s KURO shou sugi ban charred cypress wall cladding that accentuates the restaurant’s natural aesthetic.
This material was specified by local and national award-winning, Robert Maschke Architects Inc., known for innovative design techniques that create “…complex spatial effects with modest means.” Materials were specified with a 5-1/8″ wide face and tongue & groove milling. A select grade of cypress was used to ensure a high-quality look and durable functionality.

All of reSAWN’s CHARRED products are made in the USA, in their facility in Telford, PA. reSAWN uses domestic wood species whenever possible, including Cypress from the Southern US and domestic White Oak, Black Walnut, Red Oak & Ash as well as reclaimed woods from the US. The designs in the CHARRED collection have been carefully developed using modern finishes and incorporating reSAWN’s many years of experience in the architectural & design specification market. reSAWN manufacturers charred wood products for a range of applications including exterior siding, interior wall cladding & flooring, and custom furniture.

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).
