The dark wood you saw in Norway was probably not Shou Sugi Ban, or more correctly, Yakisugi, but rather a coating made from a complicated development of pine tar which must be reapplied every 3-5 years, as far as is known. The contemporary methods of creating the concoction have only been around for about 30 years, so it is not known if it eventually lasts for much longer. The Yakisugi process, for which there are no criteria for thickness of char is attempted by many DIYers and even professionals with varying ranges of effectiveness. It appears in older Japanese structures that the char is about 1/4" thick, while many treatments in the USA leave much-uncharred wood visible in the finished product. A product called Woodguard ia used to mimic the Yakisugi by some professionals.
Every time someone says sho sugi ban, a japanese fairy loses its wings. Its yakisugi. Sho sugi ban is an incorrect pronunciation of the kangi that is trademarked by a western company

wow! who's the contractor?!? that transformation is unreal! I never imagined you could even do something like this with older homes.
Tano Studio managed the construction of the home.

Now it looks like a pre-fab. Good job?

Few simple changes? They took the entire roof off the house and restructured it!.
@@chuckd2483😂 I was thinking the same thing. This is not a simple change.

I LOVE THE DESIGN OF THE HOUSE, Im feeling very inspired. Would love to know where you acquired the kitchen hardware from?
The hardware was sourced from Viefe!
what is the name of the kitchen counter on the backsplash and around the gas cooktop? Slate? Quartz? Natural stone? It is a great look for this home.
Its a concrete look quartz!
"I'm Eric, her husband".
She stares at him.
The video has a cut and then continues.

What type of white color you used on walls? Looks like it's pearl white.. maybe you can share the color code?
Hi there! It’s Benjamin Moore’s Olympic Mountains (50% light) 👍 We love it too!

where is the mid-century modern house?
And by "we" do you mean your wife? She is the architect.
Clear see through showers are stupid and are there solar panels on the roof? There should be.
Its literally just white walls everywhere lol, theres no mid century anymore. You ruined it.
