#16820. Brutalist pavilion with perforated façade and circular roof

Before us is an impressive example of modern architecture with pronounced brutalism and functional minimalism. The building is a compact structure with a distinctive round reinforced concrete roof that creates a strong visual accent. The main feature of the façade is a perforated wall with a geometric pattern of square openings, which serves multiple functions: it provides natural ventilation, creates an interplay of light and shadow inside the space, and serves as a decorative façade element that forms a unique architectural image.

Notable is the elegant spiral staircase visible through the opening in the façade – its smooth white form contrasts with the rough texture of concrete and the strict geometry of the grid. This creates an interesting dialogue between the external austerity and internal plasticity of the space. The architect skillfully used the climatic features of the region by employing perforated walls as a natural air conditioner, making the building not only aesthetically expressive but also environmentally efficient.

If you're considering applying similar techniques in designing your own home, it's worth paying attention to the possibility of using perforated panels or decorative grids, which can become both a functional element (sun protection, natural ventilation) and a unique aesthetic solution. The combination of massive concrete surfaces with refined details can also create an interesting visual contrast in private architecture.
