Both the left and the right bathrooms have stayed true to the Brutalism philosophy, yet both are distinctly different. The one on the left is more inspired by Indian / middle eastern design sensibilities represented in the floor stone, the Panel behind mixers, the mixer design as well as the metal basin. The one on the right side is far mor contemporary and European with clean lines cutting across Ceiling to wall mirror to vanity and floor, some daylight penetration and wooden vanity to give some relief.

Accent

Doesn't everything look nice on raw surfaces? The Indian inspired brutialist house on left uses art, artifacts and color in a stunning manner be it the red ceramic hands, the large bronz vase as well as the raja rani oil painting and more. Whereas the contemporary brutalist lobby of the house on the right is deftly using a large mirror on wall, architectural lights, vibrant print on the wall and the beautiful stone + wooden bench.

Both of the environments shown use concrete walls and ceilings to create a raw muscular appeal. However, the design on the left uses wood all around, fabric cladded sofas and light and a jharokha to create a uniquely Indian interpretation, whereas the design on the right is more contemporary where the concrete environment is warmed up by using soft leather clad modern sofas sitting atop a neutral carpet, with an understated low lying centre table in a room lit up by the simple suspended lights.

A brutalist kitchen by definition would have concrete finished ceiling, walls, floor and countertop. That just might be too much for most of us. The kitchen design we have chosen for you uses real wood on ceiling and hand painted tiles on floor, while the walls and countertop remain concrete. Modern cabinetry and ceiling suspended tube lights add to the character of this kitchen. You could easily add brick a brick wall to give it an Indian touch.
