24 Modern Concrete Houses That Stand Out in Trends

Last updated on October 15, 2025 · ⓘ How we make our designs

Our modern concrete houses stand out from the crowd with cutting-edge designs.

We work in concrete—not because it’s cold, but because it keeps its promises. And the promise is to cut through the crowd of same old boring brutalist concrete architecture designs.

These modern designs chase the light, swap clutter for calm, and make space for both lively dinners and quiet mornings.

What brought us here? Coastal brightness, rainy Sundays, a love of brutalist beats, and carpenters whose formwork flirts with poetry.

Take your time as you scroll and enjoy the new trends!

Warm Timber Bands, Cool Concrete Lines

Shadowband Terrace Concrete House

Floating Ledge Panorama

Minimalist concrete pavilion perched over boulders at dusk — More like this: Modern Houses Mountain Houses

A slender concrete frame hovers above a rocky slope, wrapping a glassy living zone and a breezy terrace. Slim steel posts, deep overhangs, and ribbed timber screens tune shade, while floor-to-ceiling sliders erase the boundary to the view.

Stacked Silhouette Concrete House

Three-tier modern concrete home with glass balconies and slender columns — More like this: Modern Houses Suburban Houses

A crisp stack of rectilinear volumes floats above slender round columns, framing deep terraces and full-height glazing. Softly brushed concrete panels and low iron glass rails keep the profile calm yet quietly bold.

Folded Plane Overlook

Horizon Shelf Desert Villa

Timber Breeze Courtyard Loft

Two-story concrete home with wood accents, sliding glass walls, and a calm courtyard deck — More like this: Modern Houses Gardens
