'New brutalism' style villa  

.
Kenneth Frampton desribes how the term and style originated in 'modern architecture - a critical history'

Home as fortification...
🙂

I think the elemental forms and concrete construction might qualify this house as Brutal -- though the presence of three different kinds of chimney stack argues for a more nuanced or even whimsical tone ? There's a lot of interesting spacial play, inside, in any event -- not something indicative of Brutalism, one way or another.
It's nice to see all the "period" furnishings and art in this house, isn't it.

To see the delicacy in the brutal and the brutal in the delicate is the mark of a sophisticated eye.

Heath...
To see the delicacy in the brutal is the sign of some one who has studied the brutal, while on a mind altering substance.
To see the brutal in the delicate is the mark of one who has not grasped the meaning of brutal in an architectural dictionary, or in Merriam Webster online.
And "to see the delicacy in the brutal and the brutal in the delicate" is the mark of a fop amused by circular but empty word play.
Otherwise, I am in complete agreement with ya, pal! 😉

Oops -- must retain my composure. Carry on.

Exterior vs interior
Exterior Brutalist vs interior as the opposite
Could be very interesting, DCWilson suggested something like that in other brutalist thread.
But this is not the case at all.
You have to be conscious what's on the other side, not in this case.
As say in the link: This 70-ies villa, built in ?New Brutalism? style has been refurbished and updated by the interior architects Renaud De Poorter and Femke Holdrinet. ditto!!
The exterior is interesting for a house, but not specially interesting as THE brutalist house, and if the interior had something interesting with the "refurbished and updated" is completely lost.
PS:As said, it seems "new brutalism" (not neo-brutalism) is IN!

*sigh* whatever you say DC.
Please do me the favour of applying your remarkable gifts to these images...then again you know diddly squat about construction and probably couldn't tell us anything about the rather robust construction of these types of chairs or the brutality of cutting involved. Look below the surface. Are those cables not beautifully delicate? Are the concrete supports not brutal and isn't the WHOLE thing remarkably cohesive?
Is everything so literal and 2 dimensional for you? How unfortunate.

*shaking my head* I can't bel...
*shaking my head* I can't believe you would say something so silly, I actually had you pegged as pretty intelligent DC, if not that knowedgeable. If you can't see that this is delicate AND brutal you might as well go stick pins in your eyes, seems they are pretty useless.
Last word from me.

[ I regret
that there is no "private messaging" on this board -- nor even a visible member's roster. Some of us could use a confidential hug -- or at least a place to air our grievances to a sympathetic ear, without upsetting the social order. . .eh ? ]

*Hugs*
