Projects with Gendai®, Pika-Pika® featured in Fine Homebuilding

A pair of articles in the February/March 2026 edition of Fine Homebuilding feature projects with our yakisugi siding. The Cupertino Courtyard project uses our Gendai® Linseed Black and the Lake Champlain Modern (one of our personal favorites) is clad in three of our Pika-Pika® Linseed finishes: Light Gray, Natural and Brown. Links to the articles and our portfolio posts with project details are available below.
