Project • By LDCwood • Visitor Center
Visitors centre A.Vogel

Architect Johan Hofman came up with a design based on a Veluwe barn house. He explains: “This is an unusual project for an exceptional client. A.

Product • By Zwarthout l Shou Sugi Ban • Omiyama
Omiyama
Omiyama’s hard carbon layer gives a brilliant bronze glow in the sun. The deep-charred carbon layer has a robust appearance with an irregular structure and can withstand harsh weather conditions. This makes Omiyama very suitable as durable facade cladding.

This is a water-based ecological resin and will tone down the outer surface, make it slightly more matt and prevent the carbon from staining. This makes the treated version of the product extremely suitable for interior applications.
Omiyama is made of Fraké wood. A sustainable product of Fraké wood, which has undergone hydrothermal modification (in bri... More
