Wood cladding products

Introducing our latest innovation in timber cladding: Accoya, the ecological wood choice revolutionizing the industry. At the forefront of sustainable building materials, Accoya is a rapidly renewable softwood that undergoes an acetylation process, transforming it into a hardwood with exceptional properties. Achieving durability class 1 and boasting 100% rot resistance, Accoya stands resilient against the harshest elements, making it ideal for exterior applications such as the Vila in Holten.

This project involves a complete gut renovation of an existing 4-story townhouse, along with the addition of a fifth floor and a 12-foot rear extension. Our clients, who had previously lived in a downtown loft, sought to recreate a similar open and airy feel for their new Upper East Side townhouse. In response, we designed a vertical loft that offers a dynamic, modern living experience, contrasting with the traditional horizontal layout they were accustomed to. The vertical loft features interconnected rooms that seamlessly flow into one another, with sliding panels providing privacy when needed. The design emphasizes connectivity, with an open staircase linking the various levels. To reinforce the loft concept, we minimized full-height wa... More

The clients were looking for a house that would eventually become their fulltime residence but could also serve as a getaway, vacation and gathering place in the interim. Steve Keating Photography Located at the south end of Desolation Sound on Cortes Island, British Columbia, the site is formed of natural granite bedrock and contains a dramatic peninsula and cliff which serve as a windbreak for Cortes Bay as well as the Seattle and Vancouver yacht clubs. To the south, the house is exposed to the Straight of Georgia which delivers extremely high wind speeds and salt spray during winter storms. To withstand the high winds, the house structure is embedded into the bedrock with steel columns and exposed wood floor beams allowing the hous... More

The proposed expansion to the North Park Academy would create a dramatic new addition to a historic but undistinguished existing school.  Occupying an unusual triangular site, the bold form of the new structure would offer an appealing visual termination to the axis of the avenue approaching the school. Caption Caption Using a language of arches, the building readily expresses its function as a school, and in particular its intended use for kindergarten and pre-K classes.  Within the elliptical form would be a hidden courtyard, serving as outdoor play space for children, and also as an outdoor assembly area, neatly incorporating the existing exterior facade of the auditorium as a backdrop.  A new main entry would b...
