    When shall we three investors meet again?

    In thunder, lightning or in rain?

    When the battle's lost or won?

    When the hurley burleys done?

    Yeah, I don't find that sexy at all. It's like a bunker.

    design inspired by cold war era USSR?

    I rather like the 'boarded' off-form finishes. There were some creative ones like rope or rough-sawn timber.

    Not at all a fan.

    We don't have a flash house, but people love that it's warm, cosy and loved. The antithesis to lounging in a basement.

    I quite like it, but I'd still fill it up with our stuff and make it less cold. I'd prefer to live in a warehouse conversion and that style suits an eclectic collection probably better than the brutalist interiors.

    Yes, seem rather all COLD not brutal.
    Also, copper or bronze seem on trend, like the black tap ware for some time...They use them in US quite a lot, with great interior designers. For now I don't mind but whether it will become a permanent trend time will tell......?

    Love it!
    Love the raw material look - concrete, steel and timber etc.
    Add greenwalls, plants and water features to soften and perfect :)

    Now - that is ugly. Bronze and copper finishings are all the rage atm, but think they will be a quickly passing fad. Black has been around for a while and can see it staying for a while as the "alternative" to chrome.
