57 Modern Concrete Structures

From Contemporary Concrete Residences to Stark Minimalist Homes

— August 7, 2013 — Art & Design
These modern concrete structures are showcasing that sleek, industrial materials are becoming ever more popular amongst mainstream architectural designs.

While concrete material has been used as a basis and structural support for buildings and structures for ages now, up until recently these concrete items have been often covered up with secondary materials or paint to disguise that cold, industrial look. In this modern age however, concrete has become a very hip and minimalist type of material to have in buildings and homes, offering a very simple and sleek overall look.

From concrete cubist abodes to heavy hovering dwellings, these ultra modern concrete structures are making these otherwise rough and cold-looking materials seem much more sleek and visually appealing.
