With the Shou-Sugi-Ban technique, variable or uneven degrees of firing are possible, whereby a “flickering” effect can be achieved in the wood. The texture and relief of the wood are emphasised by the natural background’s darkening from gold to silver-black. This technique was used in our project in Nuremberg. Here, the striking relief of the wood gives the two-storey facade an elegant look."





Each board meets an open propane flame. The burn depth is controlled by hand — seconds matter.
After charring, every board is brushed and sealed with a natural oil glaze. This locks in the carbon layer and brings out the silver-black contrast.
Boards are fixed with hidden fasteners, working from the ground up so every joint stays flush and weathertight.
