It’s #BrutalMonday! That pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? Its Brutalism. Today’s brutal beauty is the Humphrey Federal Building by Marcel Breuer - an absolute stunner.

It’s #BrutalMonday! This week, we go to Denver and the Downtown Sheraton. IM Pei certainly knew what's up when using precast with exposed aggregate.

It’s #BrutalMonday! HUD has one of the coolest HQs in DC, the Weaver Federal Building by Marcel Breuer. We should make the White House brutalist too.

It’s #BrutalMonday! Today’s pick is a brutalist landscape by Lawrence Halprin - Freeway Park in Seattle. It's such a great concrete oasis on top of the highway downtown.

It’s #BrutalMonday! Here is a brutal frog courtesy of Paul Rudolph’s Government Service Center in Boston to start the week. I hear Concrete the Frog is Kermit’s cousin.

It’s #BrutalMonday! What better way to start the week than with a donut? It may be inedible, but Gordon Bunshaft’s design of the Hirshhorn Museum in DC turns heads.

It’s #BrutalMonday! Let’s go to CDMX and the Japanese Embassy by Kenzo Tange. As much as I wanted to go in and explore, the fencing and cameras suggested I do otherwise.

Our Client and we are huge fans of this slatted wood light panel detail that creates a cozy ambiance in our basement renovation. Looking forward to seeing this one complete later this spring!

Looking back to our first design commission this past year. This basement renovation is getting closer to construction, and we hope our clients will be as happy as the Enscape entourage!
