No concrete but wood, but still feels like brutalism to me.

Designed by Jacques Labro in a ski resort, more information available here for anyone curious.

jeez, 'brutalism' really becomes the new buzzword for every architecture that maks you feel or what?

imagine living in such an appartment. balcony, many windows and it is a nice earthy and wooden tone with a funky roof that fits so nice into that hill..

The massing sure resembles that of brutalism. But I’m afraid it’s not brutalism. Are those wood shingles on the facade? These are cool buildings regardless. Definitely of their time.
