# Wood-Shingled Shelters Brigitte by Enrique Illanez Schoenenberger Features Wonderful Woodwork By Francis Tiangson | Published 2011-01-21 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enrique-illanez-schoenenberger References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/8/view/12882/enrique-illanez-schoenenberger-brigitte.html) Swiss designer Enrique Illanez Schoenenberger has created this [wooden shelter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schtauss) that features incredible wood tiling. The shack-like structure creates a private seating area that provides a shelter for people to sit and relax in, all the while presenting a unique and chic facade. Enrique Illanez Schoenenberger's [unique shelter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-senior-shelter) has an exterior that immediately reminded me of a dragon's skin. The technique used to create this shelter is very time and labor-intensive, making it rare to find other modern usage of it. The scaly outer layer is composed entirely of [wooden tiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shou-sugi-ban), hand-sewn together to create the magnificent unique look.
