Bark siding is a beautiful addition to any home. In most wood production, bark is sent for disposal. Now, though, that bark is being remade into siding for homes. See a great example here.

The Christian Louboutin and 212box-Eric Clough teams sourced their siding from Bark House as part of an environmentally conscious approach to the project, which was championed by Miami Design District developer Craig Robins. "The materials chosen for the exterior and interior are straight out of nature's library."

Notable pieces include a thirty-foot tall bark wall that nods to Nike’s Oregon roots. The main directive architecturally and graphically – was to highlight the synergy between New York City and Nike.

Nike is innovation with an unrelenting drive to exceed expectations and inspire…

TESTIMONIALS
Bill McDonough (inaugural chair of the World Economic Forum’s Meta-Council on the Circular Economy) shared this about Bark House, “…you are looking at a product that is almost a sacred thing…people are being honored with right-fit jobs, forests are being honored with sustainable forestry, and the buildings that use these materials are being honored with safe, healthy materials.”
Carol Sanford (regenerative business speaker, author, and executive educator) shared this about Bark House wall coverings, “…if I was in a space with Bark House bark wall coverings, I would know that I had found a place where ‘we’ belong”.

makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something,
that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so
wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.
