House in Chau Doc by NISHIZAWAARCHITECTS

Many consider concrete a cold material but for some reason I feel like you, concrete is warm and unpolished, an honest material. If you are using it in a tropical climate make sure to provide opportunities for cross breezes and limit the exposed surface area of concrete on the walls that would receive the sun directly most of the day.

Here are some incredible brutalist houses:

Stamp House Charles Wright Architects

Van Wassenhove House Juliaan Lampens

Reyes Fernandez Residence Pedro Reyes and Carla Fernandez

Apollo Pavilion by Victor Pasmore (not technically a house, but house scale)

Casa SperimentaleGiuseppe Perugini

The Miniatures of Joshua Smith 

Joshua Smith is a miniaturist and former stencil artist based in Norwood, South Australia. With a career spanning 17 years he has showcased his work in London, Paris, Berlin, New York, Japan and all over Australia in over 100 exhibitions. Formerly a self taught stencil artist Josh refocused his career to establishing Espionage Gallery, an Art Gallery based in Adelaide, South Australia showcasing both emerging and well established local, interstate and international artists. For 4 years he showcased over 600 artists from over 20 countries.

In 2015 after the closure of Espionage Gallery Josh refocused back onto his own career this time as a self taught miniaturist. His miniature works primarily focus on the often overlooked aspects of the urban environment such as grime, rust, decay to discarded cigarettes and graffiti perfectly recreated in 1:20 scale miniatures.
