Brutalism is a striking architectural style that emphasizes bold forms and raw materials, often featuring concrete and plastic elements. This design ethos is particularly appealing in suburban office building designs, where the use of rich burgundy tones can create a strong visual impact. In this collection, we explore 50 exceptional examples of Brutalist office buildings, showcasing innovative facades, unique textures, and thoughtful color schemes that make these structures stand out in their environments.
Exploring Facades in Brutalism Style Office Buildings
The facades of Brutalist office buildings are often characterized by their rugged appearance and monumental scale. Featuring raw concrete, plastic materials, and bold geometric shapes, these facades command attention. The use of burgundy accents can enhance the visual appeal, creating a striking contrast against the neutral concrete. This approach not only reflects the ethos of Brutalism but also adds a layer of sophistication to suburban architecture, making these buildings both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
