Our Materials
The Highest Quality Japanese Lumber. Boxed heart with a cross-section of up to 50 cm.
Japanese Cedar (Sugi) | 杉
The soul of Japanese architecture. Sugi is a time-honored structural material, prized for centuries for its beauty, workability, and durability. Its structural strength is not just a matter of tradition; it has been scientifically calculated and verified by engineers at the University of British Columbia, Canada, confirming its world-class performance and reliability.
Japanese Cypress (Hinoki) | 檜
A wood of sacred distinction. Revered for its use in ancient temples and palaces, Hinoki is a premium material known for its exceptional durability, natural resistance to decay, and unique, calming citrus-like aroma. Choosing Hinoki elevates a structure from a house to a sanctuary, infusing the space with a sense of purity and tranquility.
Engineered Wood
For architectural visions that demand exceptional scale and flexibility, we offer custom-engineered timber. By laminating layers of premium Japanese Cedar (Sugi), we create massive, high-performance beams and posts that enable expansive, open-concept designs while retaining the organic warmth and beauty of natural wood.
