Brutalist Houses

The finest Brutalist houses collected in a single volume, part of a new series with an original format.

The color gray distinguishes the Brutalist house, in which the emphasis of the load-bearing structures, the use of materials usually intended for industrial buildings (concrete, iron, granite), the essentiality and intentional roughness of the furnishings, minimal and spartan, gives living an unmistakable connotation, particularly suited to the current ecological and minimalist sensibility, allowing us to discover a new beauty: straightforward, elementary, communicating reliability and stability, a safe harbor among the storms of our everyday life.

Through a selection of houses with strong characters, the new Interior Design Cubes series offers a comprehensive and tasty survey of interior design styles, guiding the reader through the categories, languages and trends of contemporary living.

The monographs, with their unmistakable cubic format, are immediately recognizable by their color, which refers to a style.
