Brutalism is the architectural style on everyone's mind right now, especially with Adam Brody taking home the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in the 2024 film, The Brutalist. But would you really want to live amongst this raw and angular style? How would you soften it for everyday life? The answer: Eco Brutalism.
Traditional Brutalist interiors are known for their expressive forms and ode to materiality and raw textures. However, the exposed concrete floors, geometric shapes, and rugged surfaces can easily come across as cold and jarring. To balance this, Eco Brutalism introduces plant life and biophilic elements into Brutalist design, creating warmer and more interconnected spaces.
