Rural property in the village of Westbroek

Rural property in the village of Westbroek

An entirely new living environment was designed for a spacious property in the rural village of Westbroek. Natural and contemporary materials were used to clad the eaves and façade of the outbuilding and the main house, which has a 10-metre-high truss construction. 

Both roofs feature green vegetation and a Marugame eave that changes in appearance depending on the light. In addition to Marugame, a second Zwarthout l Shou Sugi Ban product, namely Naoshima, was used for the new design. 

The characteristic pattern of Naoshima can be seen on the façade of the house and the outbuilding. The power of nature captured in roof and façade.

We are proud that our products have once again been used for this unique location, beautiful house and outbuilding. We hope that the residents will enjoy living here for many years to come!

“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.”

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.
