Tall Alf: Owned by the guy that founded Oakley and the interior looks like the inside of an Amtrak train bathroom. Motherfucker loves rivets I guess. Super Mario Bros: The Movie ass house.

Beverly Hills brutalist mansion for sale for $68 million r/brutalism

You say “Super Mario Bros.: The Movie” as though that isn’t the greatest cinematic masterpiece of the 1990s

Many cishet men who become million and billionnaires have this deep need to use the aesthetics of hard edges and colorlessness to reinforce their masculinity against the ravages of the fact that they do no hard work. This house looks like a cybertruck.

I think that at this point you could kill these motherfuckers by throwing a rose at their chest like in The Promised Neverland.

We look to queerness, romanticism and past aesthetics for vampires because our modern vampires' lairs look like total dogshit & their galleries are full of NFTs. Their libraries make Gatsby's look like the Library of Alexandria because even fake books are better than what's on their shelves.

Don’t you dare besmirch brutalism or this aesthetic in particular by comparing it to a cyber truck. The cyber truck is far, far worse.

In no part of my post did I say the word brutalism, out of respect. Many thanks

Brutalism serves a public purpose and has very different goals. This stainless steel sarcophagus is one guy's vanity project for himself.

One anecdotal addition to your correct “hard work” point: this person likely never worked within a commercial kitchen (cook, waiter, etc.).

And he didn't work in this one, either.

I'm a bit concerned by the runes on the bathtub-like construct.

Flesh Golems can only be programmed in ancient Nordic coding languages

I was just coming here to say this

I want a clearer picture of them to see if it translates to anything in English

it seems to be Tolkien, not Norse, if that helps. (If I found the right guy, he invented the camera that The Hobbit was filmed on?)

So at least it’s less “ominous white supremacy” and more “somehow more embarrassingly dorky than the rest of the room”

Don’t be fooled, there’s definitely an overlap there where the dorkiest guy you know actually thinks you’re subhuman and has a whole internet culture egging him on

i don't think that's why he put the goofy tolkien runes on his deus ex bathtub though

This is okay I guess, but honestly I was looking for more of an airplane bathroom aesthetic.

people love ugly stupid shit that sucks

It's me. I am people. I want to live in a house that looks like a moon base/evil lair. (giant mansion is a bit excessive but still)

Bunker built into an active volcano would suffice. Think of how much you'd save on heating!

I agree, but this house is unrelated.

the lack of windows is what’s really upsetting - why everything looks like a place you have to escape from.

Was just thinking that that reminded me so much of like a prison?? Awful

If that is not specifically called a “lair” in its marketing materials then it’s criminally false advertising

It looks like the bad guy lair in a poorly made space opera

Tadao Ando! What have they done with your life's work?!

Ye-eted it into the ocean! www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

I was just thinking it looked like the Tadao Ando house kanye gutted

oakley headquarters is a similarly styled bizarre building dude is consistent at least

Bro that looks like the Harkonnen harvester

Brutalism meets art deco :)

fancy having all that pro-grade, commercial kitchen equipment and putting a wooden fucking worktop on it🤦

What countertop would you use there?

Keep it stainless. Integral to the sink - much more hygienic and easier to clean. Get some fancy chopping boards if you must use wood in the kitchen.

White marble, of course😏

I'd go for a very fine-grained quartzite over marble. Still whiteish but much more hard-wearing.

I think that'd clash much worse.

Nothing can clash with that place

there are some choices i have some opinions on, but as a whole i love this so much. i want to live there

Phew, I'm glad I'm not the only weirdo who likes it. There's some "if you think this looks cool that makes you a bad person (and also masc?) on this thread and... no? (Yeah I know concrete is not the best for CO2 but there are alternatives now, and it doesn't change things that are already built)

You can make eco-friendly low-CO2 concrete, incl. reusing waste (such as fly ash). Also, concrete lasts better than most building materials, and if you use nontraditional rebar options, you can extend that to even thousands of years. There's nothing "green" about rebuilding every ~50 years!

this owns

Runes etched into the Death Star bathtub gives it extra wicked crazy cred.

Lawl, that "sculpture" in the curved hallway is an old-timey Gatling gun with a round, top-mounted magazine. What a nerd this guy is.

In fact, it's one of these www.rockislandauction.com/detail/81/23...

Those runes on the tub??!?

Very industrial!

I mean, as far as Rich People Things go, this is at least an interesting-looking aesthetic so I'm in favor. Go, Rich People, decorate your homes oddly!

Especially love the hallway Gatling gun emplacement and white supremacist coded runes on the bathtub
