Product • By Nordisk Profil GmbH • Woodfac Panel
Woodfac Panel
WOODFAC Panel is a closed façade system that wraps your building in real wood while quietly handling the hard work behind the scenes. Wooden lamellae sit on a structure of 100% recycled Greenline® aluminium, forming a breathable climate screen that protects the building without trapping moisture — the look of a timber façade, with the performance of a modern rainscreen.
Every lamella is FSC®- or PEFC™-certified and fire-impregnated with a Cradle to Cradle–certified, natural flame retardant, reaching fire classifications up to B-s1,d0 (EN 14915 / EN 16755). The wood is thermally treated for dimensional stability, so the façade stays true year after year — with no painting or treatment req... More

It is the only wood facade system on the market with full B-s1,d0 and B-s2,d0 fire classification, fire-tested and approved to EN 14915 and EN 16755 — suitable even for buildings with the strictest fire-protection requirements. The lamellae use FSC®- or PEFC™-certified wood, protected by a Cradle-to-Cradle-certified flame retardant made from 100% natural substa... More

Product • By Nakamoto Forestry • Sugi Unoiled
Sugi Unoiled
Sugi is often left unoiled in clean interior applications, or in exterior applications where a patina is desired. It can also be coated by the customer with standard tradecraft before or after installation. Leaving the wood unoiled in exterior applications allows it to weather naturally, according to the local climate. This is a great option for owners who appreciate the organic, natural beauty of wood and want to savor it as a living, changing finish. Unoiled siding can always be oiled in the future to add color or consistency.

Project • By Signum Architecture • Housing
Downtempo
DESIGN INTENT
Set in the Mayacamas Mountains between Sonoma and Napa, the site for this weekend home is just 10 minutes from downtown Calistoga, but it seems much further removed. The owners envisioned a retreat where they could build lasting memories with their children, entertain friends and enjoy the wine country’s slower pace. Our intent for the project was to capitalize upon the unique nature of the site and views, while respecting the character of the land. Within this sensitive terrain, sustainability and fire resistance were key drivers for the design.
