Are there any fans of Brutalism?

We are thinking about moving into a 1970s brutalist apartment. When we mention this to people or show photographs of the block, they recoil or comment how ugly it is.

We love it!

Exactly my thoughts!

Oh I think I've found my people!

I've always had a weird love for large concrete tower blocks. When I was younger I made a friend drive me round some in London

What makes something 'brutalist'? Does is need to adhere to a specific look?

Would these have been considered brutalist?? I was gutted when they refurbished them and made them look all 'nice'!

Also can someone educate me on 'people will always need plates'? Is it from a film?

Sorry I didn't attach my pic

Not for me. Are you the OP who wanted the period place but your OH wanted a bit of brutal, like? 😀

@Davros - yes they did - there's one for sale at the moment and you can just glimpse it in one of the photos.

@londonmummy1966 I love it, particularly the window frames
