PROJECTS / NUREMBERG

Project in Nuremberg

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."

THE CRAFT BEHIND THIS FACADE

Three steps, one unbroken surface.

01

Charring

Each board meets an open propane flame. The burn depth is controlled by hand — seconds matter.

02

Glazing

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.

03

Installation

Boards are fixed with hidden fasteners, working from the ground up so every joint stays flush and weathertight.
