Grey skies, dark timber, and autumn colour caught in the glass.

Our Gendai holds its depth even on the dullest days. The charred surface reads almost matt under overcast light, while the windows pick up the last of the season's reds and golds. Quietly dramatic, without needing the sun to prove it.

Bring on the cosy season.

Stunning in every season.

Golden leaves scattered across the lawn, the light already fading, and warm light spilling from inside. One side of the façade sits in full shadow, deep and black. The other catches the last of the sun, the brushed grain of our Gendai lighting up along the boards.

Same material, two entirely different faces, and both of them worth stopping for.

Where the forest sets the tone, and the cladding listens.

Our Gendai in light oak finds its rhythm in the Odenwald — the warm, brushed cedar surface softening into the greens and browns of the surrounding woodland. Modern in line, natural in feel.

A former embassy, reimagined in charred cedar.

In a verdant corner of Berlin, a new cubic addition in our Suyaki floats above the existing structure — precise, tactile, almost weightless. White render meets black wood. Smooth meets textured. Past meets present.

Material: Suyaki #742, natural oil, matt black, 2 coats
Place: Berlin, Germany

Two finishes, one conversation.

On a hilltop in the Ostallgäu region, our Suyaki and Pika-Pika come together in deliberate contrast — the deep black char of one against the lighter, tactile grain of the other. A façade that rewards a second look, and a third.

Material: Suyaki #742, natural oil, matt black, 2 coats / Pika-Pika #121, water-based stain, light oak, 1 coat

When the cladding finds its place in the landscape without trying.

This single-family home in Orinda wears our Gendai in deep black naturally — the charred cypres settling into its wooded surroundings with the kind of ease that only honest materials can manage.

Material: Gendai #132, water-based protection stain, ebony, 2 coats (closest European equivalent)
Place: Orinda, California, USA

A guest house that earns its own identity.

Dark Suyaki against the lighter tone of the main building — a deliberate contrast that gives this Westport addition its own quiet presence, without ever competing with what came before.

Material: Suyaki #742, natural oil, matt black, 2 coats
Place: Westport, Connecticut, USA
Builder: Able Construction Inc.

Perched above the Columbia River Gorge — where Scandinavian minimalism meets Japanese craft.

Clad in Gendai linseed black with Douglas Fir accents, the Rivendell project is the vision of owner Stephen Proctor, who found his design language in an unexpected place: a mug from a shop in Northern Ireland. The rest, as they say, wrote itself.

Material: Gendai #331, natural oil, ebony, 1 coat (closest European equivalent)

Tucked into the Galician hills — a pavilion that disappears into its landscape.

Designed by 2es+ architects, this family retreat in northwest Spain sits lightly on the land, its flat roof garden blending into the hillside above. Our Gendai in deep ebony anchors the composition with warmth and material honesty.

Bold in tone, quiet in presence.

Our Suyaki brings deep-charred character to this Swiss residence in Thurgau — the dark, textured exterior holding a conversation with the natural surroundings and light wood accents, without ever raising its voice.

Material: Suyaki #742, natural oil, matt black, 2 coats
