“Surface Tension: A Progression of Materials… from rough poplar bark to smooth bronze panels” headlined in the 09/15 issue, a project designed by David Jameson Architect for SHERBER + RAD. “Inspired by the structure of a tree—with its rough bark on the outside and smoother rings closer to the core— the Washington, D.C.–based architect organized the 3,770-square-foot facility as a progression of spaces wrapped in increasingly refined materials….Jameson lined the walls here with the thick bark of 40 poplar trees, unrolled vertically to create the impression of a flattened forest. Some of the bark still has lichen attached or knots where branches had been. Variations in color, texture, and width show that nature is not uniform and enhance the visual appeal of the space.”
The two projects made powerful statements but seem at first to have very different goals. One to organize disconnected spaces – to relieve tension and the other to express tension. Presenting connection between seemingly different parts is one of the beauties of Bark House products. “We imagine buildings akin to a stand of trees with many species and cities as urban forests reaching toward regeneration. As such - we are proud that the urban designs called upon bark wall coverings to help create a perfect natural fit.” - Chris McCurry
