I think art deco is one of my favorites. It still has a clean, modern look that ages surprisingly well, even a century later.

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.
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 😃
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.
Art Deco and Art Nouveau both are great in my eyes. (Neo-)Gothic cathedrals and churches are also wonderful.
But one more regional thing: I really like the Brick Gothic style. It is robust against wear and tear and still looks great.
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.
Generally speaking, art deco, for houses specifically, Georgian.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Anything that is not a square shaped shit brick like so much of the past 50 years.
Haussmanian , as in multi-story mixed use buildings : 6 or 7 floors. Bottom floor is for businesses. Top floor is subdivided in small but cheap one bedrooms. Built in an H, O or U footprint with a central courtyard for the whole building to share. Facade can have art nouveau architectural elements but whatever is cheap is good.
I love cities with hidden courtyards. I know Spanish colonial has a lot of this, but Paris (not sure the style) does too. I’m not saying it’s the direction we should move in regarding efficiency nor climate proofing, but it’s really nice to get a little semi-private outdoor space (they are often shared between several houses) and have windows that open up to it. It also creates a feeling of mystery, like you really need to get to know a city before it will open it’s doors to you.
They are very nice but they can have their downsides especially if you’re trying to sleep and there are some loud people in the courtyard. Being very hungover and waking up to some one blasting mambo number 5 can sort of dampen the whole mystical side of the courtyard
Not exactly a style, but those conversation pit things need to come back.
Renaissance exterior of building. Carvings in concrete. Stone block buildings. Gargoyles. Corner decorations on ceilings.
Brutalist
Gorgeous brutalist, not “let’s cut corners and costs” Soviet brutalist, but Le Corbusier tier.
Prairie and Craftsman Bungalows. Unfortunately, I don’t think that either is a particularly energy efficient design.
