The Blue House

Faro, Faro 8005-520, Portugal

Information

How brutalist can you get it? Surprising house in brutalist style - from the French: Béton brut - raw concrete. Specialy because of the rough U-shaped canopy of the stairs to the living floor and the Flash Gordon-like design language in hard concrete and a hard color of blue.

And don't let me forget to mention the over-dimensioned 'hanging-in-the air' construction of the bay window-room with te balcony cantilever, the pastile-shaped window thatlooks like an eye and as surprise the 'traditional' chimney. Everything in concrete and the hard color of blue. Undeniably a surprising and special house...
