The harsh architectural style so rare only two homes are for sale in Australia

Brutalist architecture is so rare in Australia that there’s only two homes on the market.

Emerging from the 1950s in the United Kingdom, the unique style sees an emphasis placed on minimalist constructions with bare building products over elaborate designs.

Unapologetic with their aesthetic, façades are often severe with their sharp angles and geometric shapes, and feature either concrete, exposed brick, steel, timber or glass.

Here are the only two homes currently on the market in Australia.

Listed by Peter Torok of Ray White Blackheath, this two-bedroom, three-bathroom home called “Wombat Hollow” has an auction price guide of $2.5 million.

Offering views of Kanimbla Valley and Mount Blackheath, the one of a kind property features a steel exterior with a curved roof and statement glass windows.

The listing states that the home successfully blends “an industrial and brutalist edge with a warm and stunning interior”.

Interiors feature timber and concrete walls, with splashes of colour in the form of art.

12 Cylinders Drive, Kingscliff, NSW

Listed by Nick Witheriff and Jordan Brown of LJ Hooker Kingscliff, the five-bedroom, four-bathroom home is called “12 Cylinders” and according to the listing, was “designed to adopt a modern brutalist construction into a functional and simplistic home”.

The striking build consists of a dual level space with a concrete slab, cantilevered over the glass living space below to give the illusion of floating.

Interiors are open and light-filled with 10-foot ceilings, timber flooring and stone walls.

There’s also ample space to relax, unwind and recharge, with an outdoor pool, gym, mosaic tiled steam room and wine cellar.
