OPAL Architecture’s Elemental House in Maine vanishes into York County’s birch and pine with a charred yakisugi cedar exterior — Nakamoto Forestry’s Gendai Linseed Black — that disappears into the forest shadows. The all-electric, L-shaped home pairs this striking dark cladding with bright interiors to create a lantern-like effect at dusk, set on a two-acre wooded lot half a mile from the Atlantic.
