OFF THE WALL

We love the cedar cladding of this Japanese house by TOFU Architects

([phone];tofu-ao.com),which has been painted in three shades of black to accentaute the gain of the wood.If you're thinking of doing something similar, remember that solid wood cladding expands and contracts, particularly in areas with changeable humidity, says architect. To prevent this, the fronts and backs of the planks were painted (so the same amount of water is absorbed on each side) and a ventilation layer was fitted behind the cladding to allow air to circulate.
