This 1950s ”Chalet Ariasana” has been renovated and makes a beautiful impression with its architecture and central location on a slope with unique views of Vals.
The deep black Nakatado wooden facade, finished with the Japanese technique Shou Sugi Ban, and the warm colour French Grey in the interior create an exciting contrast.
The Nakatado facade is mounted both horizontally and vertically, and the planks have various sizes.
This creates a lovely variation of appearance.
“During the renovation of the holiday home in Vals, Switzerland, it soon became clear that the architect and client wanted to use the Shou Sugi Ban method for the house’s new wooden façade.
After a lot of research and a visit to producers in the Netherlands, we found the right partner for the facade material: Zwarthout | Shou Sugi Ban. Now the house is once again a popular holiday destination with a new look.” – GRAND ARCHITEKTEN
“We recently replaced the potted decked timber on our farmhouse in the Beemster region with Shodoshima semi-gloss from Zwarthout l Shou Sugi Ban. With special planks 25 cm wide, it looks great on a farmhouse. A very beautiful product and great service from Zwarthout l Shou Sugi Ban!”
”We chose Yoroi for several reasons. First of all, we like the Japanese classical technique used for burning the bamboo. Due to the burning technique Shou Sugi Ban, Yoroi has a fire class B and is maintenance-free. Finally, the black charred bamboo is a regrowable material and aesthetically matches our design perfectly.”
”As a gardener, it is an honour to work with such beautiful traditional products.
The delivery times are also great and you get friendly service.”
We have put together two Zwarthout | Shou Sugi Ban sample boxes: one for interior design applications and one for façade cladding.
That way, you can experience the attention, care and love we pour into each piece of wood yourself. And, of course, the beauty and exclusive looks the various textures have to offer.
