I think art deco is one of my favorites. It still has a clean, modern look that ages surprisingly well, even a century later.
19th century german architecture + red brick Gothic.
I love this style of modern architecture from the late 1960s to early 1980s:
Iono, the first two are a bit much, but I do love the 3rd.
The first two remind me of tacky mafia style hotels and maybe Miami (Tony Montana) or Las Vegas “classy”.
I was thinking the tacky, overly-ostentatious decoration style you see in Russian government buildings, but yeah that fits too.
Aw man, I was about to praise the first two.
It’s architecture/interior design, taste is subjective. Like what you like, I’m not here to yuck anyone else’s yum, just expressing my own opinion.
Idk about regular houses but I wish factories were still styled like they were in the Victorian era. There’s a reason so many got converted into offices and apartments
Yeah, Victorian industrial is where it’s at. Especially if it looks a bit run down and has faded lettering still barely visible on the bricks.
Likewise, it’s beautiful, so elegant.
Yeah, art deco is definitely high on that list. Also brutalism. I especially love brutalist interiors.
Ah yes, the evil villain hideout style. Not a fan of it myself but it does have something cool about it.
Fair enough. I also love it for office buildings and such, like in this example from The Oldest House in Control, or Luthen’s shop or Coruscant in Andor.
Honestly it does look good in a way yeah. Especially for the mega structures. Nice
Living in Germany I can’t stand any more brutalism. It has become the “standard” because it’s just the cheapest to leave the raw concrete exposed.
Fair enough, to each their own. Although brutalism is more than just exposed concrete, that is definitely the signature thing.
More often than not Brutalism is nowadays used as an excuse for minimizing cost here. While some of the pictures shown here can look appealing, the style just doesn’t sit well with me considering how it is (mis)used here.
That’s fair, taste is subjective and formed for lots of reasons, I’m not telling you you’re wrong or anything.
Yeah I just don’t want to come off as crapping on an art style for no reason.
Generally speaking, art deco, for houses specifically, Georgian.
Brutalis Style
Definitely Brutalism. There’s a new thing where they can grow stuff on the concrete now, so I propose Eco-Brutalist as a new (not new) thing.
Thats a good thing Eco brutalism! One day i have enough money and will build a house i brutalism 😃
Cubism. Just to convince people it’s not about designing things any 5yo can build in Minecraft.
Second Art Nouveau. Art Deco is nice, but I think over played as a throwback.
Also a fan of a neoclassical Italianate style. Square columns, low flat roofs, towers and tall thin windows. It can vary, but when done in a clean and simple style, it’s very nice IMO.
Affordable Housing
too real
Big beautiful brutalistic concrete block with some fucking space!
Cool, if it’s also Art Nouveau.
The full swathe from Art Nouveau/Jugendstil through Art Deco/Moderne and Bauhaus functionalism through to 1950s modernism. If I had to be more specific, I’d focus on British interwar modernism.
Something that doesn’t look or feel like it was made at a factory
Mud huttingdon:
Affordable housing after the water wars
I fully expect that to make a comeback in the aftermath of the climate wars.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Mud walls are great insulators, and keep really cool during the intense summer heat
Art Nouveau. It looks so whimsical. I’d also like a Gothic/Gothic Revival.
I’d like for Baroque furniture to come back. Hella sturdy.
