Shou Sugi Ban: Our Inspiration
焼杉板
Our physical structure, as well as our namesake, refers to the meditative process of Shou Sugi Ban, an ancient Japanese technique that preserves wood by charring it. The time intensive process ends in a final product that is not only beautiful, but also resilient. In this meeting of earth and fire, the wood is reborn making it more resistant to fire and decay while increasing the longevity of its physical structure. It is the very idea that one can alchemize life by stoking the fires of transformation.
Location
Shou Sugi Ban House is located in the Hamptons, just 90 miles outside of New York City, an area celebrated for its pristine beaches, sprawling farms, local vineyards and historic estates. The location is famed as the residence of countless artists and photographers who were drawn to the natural beauty and light of the land. Shou Sugi Ban House sits on three acres in the pastoral hamlet of Water Mill, adjacent to the Parrish Art Museum, and is just three miles from the ocean.
