Le Petit Théâtre de Nivelle in Nivelle, France.

Designed as an extension to an existing farmhouse where performances were hosted, this angular building is home to a 161-seat private theater, transforming the property into a fully-fledged cultural venue.

Its clean geometry and textured material palette imbues a modern identity, while the yakisugi cladding brings the warmth, texture, and depth with contrasting finishes: lightness from sealed Pika-Pika® and dramatic darkness from black Gendai®.

Cottagecore, but with a yakisugi twist.

Because yakisugi isn’t just for ultra-modern homes. Its charred texture and rich, natural tones complement a wide range of design aesthetics, including more traditional, cottage-inspired spaces. From pool houses and garden retreats to modern takes on classic cottages, yakisugi adds a layer of timeless charm.

The Hidden Cliff House is a stunner from every perspective, with two-tone yakisugi details, a steeply pitched gable roof, and views that drop straight into the Salish Sea.
