Charred Wood Siding

If you're looking for an affordable and low-maintenance option for your home's exterior, new charred wood siding might just be the perfect choice for you. This innovative siding option eliminates the need for staining and maintenance, making it a cost-effective and practical choice for homeowners.

But did you know that charred wood siding is actually an ancient Japanese technique called "Shou Sugi Ban"? This traditional method involves charring the surface of the wood to create a protective layer that is resistant to pests, rot, fire, and the effects of weathering.

The process of creating charred wood siding is simple, yet effective. First, the wood is carefully charred using a propane torch or other flame source. This creates a layer of carbon on the surface of the wood, which serves as a protective barrier against moisture, insects, and other potential damage.

Once the wood has been charred, it is cleaned and finished to create a beautiful and durable siding material. The result is a stunning, natural-looking finish that is both visually appealing and highly resistant to damage.

Not only is charred wood siding an affordable and low-maintenance option, but it also offers numerous benefits over traditional wood staining. Unlike staining, charred wood siding doesn't require regular maintenance or reapplication, which can save homeowners time and money in the long run.

Oblivion Sky Tower

A Futuristic Modern Architecture Box (dubbed the Sky Tower) nestled in the surreal setting above the clouds in the (futurist post apocalyptic) movie Oblivion  (2013) written and directed by Joseph Kosinski . The home takes some obvious inspiration from the Stahl House aka Case Study # 22 by Architect Pierre Koenig . The home has some obvious improvements with the the extended helipad over the see through acrylic infinity pool. The foundation of the home is on a unbelievably thin single (steel?) column that seems to be unaffected by the wind throughout the movie. The Director Joseph Kosinski conceived of the sky tower design with early 3D modeling renderings that he made. Joseph Kosinski graduated from Columbia University with a degree in Architecture that explains the strong modern design elements in his work. Kosinski admits that his production design team refined his early ideas into finished reality . The set is a crisp clean design and the frameless glass wall

I was recently reading an article from the September issue of 1956 House and Home and was astounded to see an interesting FLLW article with tips for the average home builder. As I was reading through the article I was realizing that those tips and advise were still just as pertinent today as it was in 1956. The particular house the article refers to is the Zimmerman house built in Manchester, New Hampshire. The home is part of a series of homes that Wright built known as the Unisonian Homes that were low cost homes for moderate income families. 32 Simple and Basic Design Ideas of Frank Lloyd Wright 1.
