Yakisugi (焼杉) is a traditional Japanese method of wood preservation. Yaki means to heat with fire, and sugi is cypress.[1][2] It is referred to in the West as burnt timber cladding and also known as shou sugi ban (焼杉板) which uses the same kanji characters but an incorrect pronunciation. The ban character means "plank". By slightly charring the surface of the wood without combusting the whole piece, the wood becomes water-proof through the carbonisation and is thus more durable.[3][4] It also protects against insects, as well as making the wood fire retardant.[5] - Wikipedia

This complete renovation elevated a spacious yet outdated ensuite into a modern oasis. A marble countertop brings luxury to the room and the gold accents compliment its sophistication with elegance. A fluted glass shower and water closet opens the space while still providing privacy. The Stoneybrook ensuite is a true testament of how interior design can truly elevate your life.
