V&A Dundee

Dundee · Charred cladding for Scotland’s design museum

Tiny Temple’s architectural-grade Japanese charred cladding was selected for the V&A’s café.

The Japanese technique of charring wood not only gives the material natural durability — it gives it a texture and colour nothing else has.

The distinct rainscreen profile was chosen to mirror the form of the V&A’s external concrete cladding.
