Two become one. The two plots, with a total area of 894 square metres, were each built with a detached one-storey house from the 1960s. This house was designed by Thomas Wyss, with an eye for Japanese details and natural materials.
For the façade design, they chose an exceptionally beautiful combination of copper, natural stone and our Japanese method burnt Marugame cladding. Visually, these materials blend perfectly with the surroundings and allow the garden to be the centre of attention.
The owners were able to move into the house in the autumn of 2020. Since then, they have been happy every day with the result and the many beautifully crafted details.
“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.
