Concrete Living

Marius Haverkamp‘s Amsterdam kitchen was the original inspiration behind our kitchen remodel. And although our kitchen concept morphed along the way, I still absolutely adore this home. The architect and his wife, children’s clothing designer Emily Gray, transformed a former warehouse into a loft combining industrial elements like brick, concrete, reclaimed wood, steel and glass. It’s airy, masculine, and rugged. Perfect.

The space artfully combines industrial elements like brick, concrete, reclaimed wood, steel, and glass, creating a rugged yet inviting atmosphere. Concrete Patio Augusta

  11. My area is industrial with a lot of concrete and wood touches. I love the design and it matches regionally as well.

  12. I couldn’t find anything concrete about the “Concrete Living” post on Honestly WTF—might be a styling gallery or moodboard focused on architecture/design. If you want, I can try pulling up highlights or visuals from the post so you get a better feel of what they showcased.

  13. The design concept is industrial and rugged, seamlessly combining raw elements such as brick, concrete, reclaimed wood, steel, and glass. The inspiration for the blog’s author’s own kitchen remodel came from this specific home, which is described as being “airy, masculine, and rugged.” View here – https://www.johnsoncityfencingcontractors.com/

  14. The combination of these materials creates a rugged yet inviting home that emphasizes industrial charm and open, lofty spaces. It is a visual case study in how to use traditionally “masculine” and hard-edged materials to create a stylish and comfortable modern living environment.
