Shimojima Project

This project, designed by Building Arts Workshop, highlighted horizontal grain Sapele. The choice of sapele wood brings a tangible warmth to the clean and modern aesthetic.  We paid great attention to sourcing sheets of plywood that would allow for a continuous grain match along the length of the hearth.

The two sided hearth held an integral sapele open cabinet on one side and a hidden cabinet on one end.











The choice of wood continued into the open plan kitchen, with a large pantry wall and eye catching island.

This was Earthbound Industries first large scale project with sapele and it won our collective hearts.  The sapele showcases a depth and richness of color that is highlighted perfectly through its linear grain.
