Jannard's crazy "brutalist" house
https://www.themanual.com/living/james-jannard-brutalist-trousdale-estate/#/1
Brutalist architecture isn’t exactly a warm and inviting style, so it seems a strange choice for a home. But, after giving (nearly) free reign to the team at iDGroup for the design of his new home, that’s exactly what Oakley founder James Jannard got: a Brutalist mansion fit for an evil villain. And it is awesome.
But the area the truly screams “nefarious things go on here” is the dining room. Created from aircraft-grade tumbled aluminum, the round table is surrounded by eight high-back chair perfect for plotting world domination. The chandelier above features horizontal elongated bulbs held in place with exposed cables, resulting in a piece that is both ornate and industrial.
All that concrete could result in a lot of echoes, but acoustic panels were specially designed for the home, guaranteeing any evil plots discussed at the table are kept secret and safe.
All this for a guy who sells Oakley sunglasses?
Why do you need an industrial size fireplace, or a dining room clad in aluminum?
