The unique Yakisugi House in Nagano, Japan, blends modern design innovation with traditional Japanese architecture and a French inspiration, for a truly one-of-a-kind house design. For Yakisugi House, the inspiration came from the compact cave dwellings near the Caves of Lascaux in France. This unusual residential design comes clad in charred cedar boards, and surrounded by 1,825m2 of landscaped property, sculptural plants and a spring-fed stream.
