Much conjecture over this, so I figure it’s time to break the fourth wall (pun not intended)... For those who have been here for a while, it will come as no surprise that sustainability is at the heart of every design decision I make... Although the “Perfect Storm” brief called for a concrete bunker, very little cement has been used in its creation. @greenanvilco & I explored several options of how we could best achieve the right aesthetic outcome, yet stay true to our shared environmental ethos. Ultimately we landed on a product I’ve used extensively the last few years, @porterspaints French Wash, which has been flawlessly applied by @setforart ... as I said in a previous post, the intent has always been a new, & more sustainable brutalism... #mattwoodsdesign #sustainabledesign #brutalism • @greenanvilco • • @_katlu • • @madelinemcfarlanestylist • (at Camperdown) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwWO9xvFWyT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8esoba99cr65

As always, de-materialisation has been at the core of this concept, and all elements have been reduced to their bare essentials, resulting in a utilitarian, cave-like sanctuary that is also intimate, light-filled and homely... #mattwoodsdesign @greenanvilco @_katlu @madelinemcfarlanestylist (at Camperdown) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvtCI0ylK3l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bd4o0i3fqhua

“With an ethos of ‘social utopianism’, together with the influence of Constructivist architecture... Brutalism became synonymous with the socially progressive housing solutions that architects and town planners prioritised as modern ‘streets in the sky’ urbanism.” #newbrutalism #mattwoodsdesign Built by @greenanvilco Image by @_katlu Styling by @madelinemcfarlanestylist (at Camperdown) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvm4AWylY9B/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wg82dd9isjbj
