- Hey there!
Excited to be sharing the first ever video with my face on it!
We're building a house in the brutalist style. I love seeing this type of architecture being overtaken by nature; I think it looks beautiful with a lot of greenery, which is an interesting contrast between manmade structures and natural life.
I hope you like this build! Let me know what you think.
I would also love to know if you have any build suggestions or challenge ideas!
Thank you so much for watching ❤️

You look as wholesome as your voice sounds… just had to say it… before I’ll finish watching the video ahah . It’s so brave of you to show your face for the first time and it’s really appreciated! Love your builds… keep it up mate! :)
That's so so nice of you! 🥹 it's very comforting since putting ourselves out there can be scary. Thank you for being so kind!
I'm so glad you ended up on my front page! The build is gorgeous and imaginative, and your commentary is very calming. This is my favourite kind of building video, where we get to follow along during the building process. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so, so much! I can't wait to share more builds in the future. Comments like yours are such a driving force to me. 🥰
Same! I got this video on my front Page and I'm very happy about it!😄
Honestly same. This video was recommended to me 2 days in a row so I watched. So glad I did.
I rarely see simmers build in brutalist style. This one looks amazing, you nailed it so well!
Oh, and I love your voice btw
Thank you so much! I like brutalism and I just had to give it a go! And thank you for your compliment as well 🥰
Your genuine bafflement at that awful shopping cart icon was so funny that I liked and subscribed (first video of yours I've been recommended).
EA’s capacity to surprise me is unmatched. Even for not so positive things. 💀🤣 thank you so much ❤️
12:21 this is the first video of your channel I'm watching and I really don't know how you could keep these amazing expressions from your viewers
this right here represents us all
Hahahaha I considered not even including it in, but I decided the (genuine) shade should stay on! 🤣
@@Wistof the shade ALWAYS stay on 💅🏻
I grew up in an old GDR embassy in former east Berlin. It wasn't nearly as beautiful as this build, but brutalist nonetheless, and the area being populated with many former embassies meant that this kind of style was all around. Growing up in Berlin with so many soviet-brutalist influences all over the city, this style of architecture really feels like home to me. Watching your video brought back all kinds of memories from houses I still visit over a decade later. Thank you for such a wonderful, loving take on brutalism. It was a pleasure to watch your mind at work, I subscribed as soon as I finished the video and feel excited to see more of your videos in my recommended feed!
This comment made me so emotional, I think because of the way you speak so fondly of your memories. It really means a lot to me, coming from you, who knows this style better than most, and to like this little thing that I did! Thank you so much, I really appreciate you. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead!
I’m not even done with the video, but I can already tell you’re going to be one of my new favorite build channels! Your voice is very soothing, and your process of approaching this build is so unique & well thought-out.
I’m so inspired! Immediate follow!
This means so much to me, your comment left me speechless! 🥹🥹❤️ thank you so much, welcome in 🥰
@@Wistofhappy to be here!! 🎉❣️
Brutalism is usually not to my taste (I wouldn't want to live that way) but it's fun to see a build in that style and explore it that way :) Loved being part of the process and I'm so grateful you made the kid's bedroom full of wood and colours and clutter, I was kind of apprehensive there was going to be a sad greige kid's room :') Also, the slanted windows are really cool
I like brutalism as an aesthetic and concept, but I don't think I'd live in one--feels cold, both literal and metaphorically. However, there are some fascinating architectural designs in this style and I like how it plays with modernism and how nature can "soften" its harshness! And yeah, I wanted the kid's room to have a more comforting feel haha. Thank you so much for your words! ❤️
Oh wow! TH-cam brought me to your channel and I love it! This home is not only beautiful, but really true to the architectural style. Subscribed!
I'm so, so glad that you think so! Makes me really happy. Thank you so much for subscribing and for your kindness as well 🥹❤️
As someone who loves to experiment with different architectural styles in Sims 4, I bow to your fabulous execution. Seriously fantastic job!
Wow, thank you so much! I share the likeness of experimenting in the game--thank you once again, you are too kind! 🥹❤️
Agree so much. I kinda hate Brutalism as a style but I love to see Sims builds that are anything but blue suburbans & cozy cottage. So seeing Brutalism done this well makes me really want to try living in this style. I like to try new things.
“And that’s a lesson in trickery” 😂
this is exactly the chill building gameplay I needed to finish my day ❤
grateful youtube recommended it to me
That's so kind of you! 🥰 thank you so so much!
I see I’m not the only one blessed by the algorithm! This is one of the best builds I’ve seen and I love the way you explain your thought process. I’m definitely staying for longer!
Wow, that’s so nice of you, thank you so much!! I’m so glad you like all the process of it 🥹❤️
The reason why brutalist homes look very bare and minimal, even when it comes to decorations, is because they are the go-to architecture of ex-c0mmun1st (idk if youtube allows that word) countries! Think all the area that used to be Yugoslavia, Belarus, etc. They were very scarce economically for many years (some of them still are) specially the in-between war periods, so when they built homes, buildings and community spaces the main goal was to be able to cover basic needs, that's why they look like they don't have much personality: because it wasn't an issue they were concerned about! I hope this explanation was helpful to understand the nature of this type of architecture :)
Thank you so much for explaining this! This style has such an interesting history and its evolution is equally fascinating. I like how some people are adapting it into a more personalized way of living, also defying the concept of what a home is by stripping back a lot of the material things and creating focus on what really matters. Again, thank you so much for beautifully putting this into words!
12:20 had me spitting the juice i was drinking from my mouth lmao
LMAO yeah, I was appalled 😩💀
same
I don’t think I have ever seen a brutalist build in the Sims. It seems like quite the challenge. And I rarely ever watch build videos entirely from start to end, I usually skip through the video a bit. But with this one I was in awe the entire time and watched it front to back! You did such a good job on this build and the facecam is a nice touch!
I’m so flattered! 😱🥹 it definitely makes you think to make it work, but I liked the challenge! Thank you so, so much for your words, they moved me! ❤️
yay, a new sim builder to watch 🥰 I love real time building, speed builds are nice but these are nice because I can learn from them and see your vision come to life. I aspire to be a better builder one day. you’ve got a new sub! 💙
My eyes must be deceiving me--I have been subbed to your channel for the longest time! To say that it is a pleasure reading your comment would be an understatement 🤯 I'm a fan, so really, you made my day! Thank you so much, I'm over the moon 🥹❤️
@@Wistof Aw thank you! ☺️ Well it’s so nice to meet you, thank you for sharing your creativity with us, friend! 💙
You had me at brutalist ❤
I love a good brutalist house and you did fantastic. Instant subscribe !
Thank you so much 😭🥹 it means a lot! So happy you like it ❤️
Love this modern build and following your thought process. Seeing you really concentrate while building is cool too. Keep up the good work, to me you are a natural!
Awww, thank you so much! That's so nice of you! Can't wait to share more ❤️
your builds are always soo damn coooool, I could never. love the brutalist style more please moreeeeee
Hahaha awwww! Thank you so so much! Hoping to keep putting out more builds soon
Instant subscribe love the face cam and love the way u talk through your thought process and actually showing the building i've never been a big fan of speed builds at all so definitely keep up the face cam and i look forward to more videos. Much love from Pennsylvania USA
That is so kind of you! I also prefer watching real-time builds, so I definitely have the intentions of making more. Thank you for your comment, it means a lot to me! 🥰 sending back love all the way from Portugal!
The slanted windows are GENIUS! Amazing build, great landscaping ❤❤ I love making brutalist builds, you’ve given me a few ideas.
So happy to have inspired you, I’m so thankful for your kind words and compliments 🥹🥰 thank you ❤️
I love the little kid bedroom, such a good balance between cozy and rough
So happy you think so 🥹 thank you so so much!
What a great build, absolutely love it. I prefer this video format because it feels more personal than a speedbuild without a face cam and more importantly, it shows the process.
I 100% agree with you--even if I talk about the process on a speedbuild, I forget the reasoning for a lot of decisions I make while building. And thank you so much, that's very kind of you! 🥰
It's nice to put a face to the voice! ☺ I enjoyed seeing the real-time version, it gives an insight into how you approach the building design. Speaking of design, it's a great branding, I really enjoy the graphics, it suits the style of your channel :)
Thank you so much, I'm so glad that you like it!! And I agree, it's nice to explain what I'm thinking when I'm doing it. Thank you again for your support ❤️❤️
I absolutely love that idea with the short angled walls jutting out of the main structure at the begnning, it's so brutalist. please consider incorporating that in a future build!
I also like that idea! I think it would be cool in a build by the sea, acting as open windows to let the sea breeze in 😊
@@Wistof exactly! I’d love to see that. I know it's not exactly possible in the Sims but I’d also be interested to see how seawater would interact with a concrete foundation, I imagine an interesting texture and color change
Now i dont watch many build videos, but the first video ive seen of you and probably the best build i have ever seen, no kidding.
Im always struggling with platforms, but that was such a creative use of them, even the simple sunken shower. Also how you used shelfs together with curtains. Ive played this game for thousands of hours and for some reason never thought of that. Going to implement so many of these cool tricks and sleek ideas.
Love this stuff!
Wistof re: (00:01) ‘This is my first video with a face cam, and I’d by lying if I said I wasn’t nervous about it. But we’ll do it, anyway. Let’s just do this.’
- No worries, came out great.
wow you are insanely talented! i'm so glad that youtube recommended this video to me :D i'm not a fan of brutalist architecture at all but you really make it work!
Brutalism is a very dividing style, but I am so glad that you like it! Thank you so much for your comment and for your kind words 🥹❤️
This video was recommended to me, and I have to say I love your build, especially the exterior, the sunk-in seating area and shower 🤍 Honestly, I'm tired of seeing family-friendly clutter all over houses in the sims and just want to see more simply stunning straight from a magazine houses 😅 The last bedroom and some parts of the house was giving japandi style which is my favorite! I would love to see you build a house in the style of mid-century modern/japandi/minimalist with a big kitchen that has butler's pantry, a big laundry room, and a grand master bedroom with a bed away from the wall, a walk-in closet and a free standing tub. Subscribed!
This is such an in-depth, detailed inspo-I need to take notes! 👀✍️ but seriously, I appreciate it a lot! And I LOVE japandi and everything modern/minimalist, I’ll have to to a build like that at some point. Thank you so much for your comment, I appreciate you so much 🥹🫶
yt has been doing a fantastic job with shuffling smaller creators into the algorithm lately :) subscribing and looking forward to seeing more of you in the future! wishing you tons of success and growth with your channel!
This made me so emotional! 😭🥹 thank you so much for your kind words and your wishes, it means so so much to me. Thank you! ❤️
First video of yours I've come across but i love how the build came out and like listening to you! Also you're so handsome!
Awww, stop it! Thank you so much for your kindness, I really appreciate it, and I'm happy that you liked it 🥹❤️
@@Wistof you’re so welcome! I’ll be watching more, even just for the face cam 😉
Loved this style of video, I thought I was one of the only sims players who took breaks from buildings!! You see so many simmers streaming for 6+ hours a house build with maybe two bathroom breaks, absolutely could not be me.
27:19 Batuu is one of my all time favorite packs! I stumbled across your channel today, this is my 1st video, you didn't bash Batuu on reflex, we are now friends. Subscribed & everything.
Welcome in, and thank you so much! The pack has some seriously good build/buy items, I can’t lie 🥰
this is the first video ive seen of yours and im obsessed!! Clearly extremely talented and you seem very sweet, especially opening up about your nervousness doing facecam for the first time, appreciate the vulnerability.
That’s so incredible nice of you! 😭 thank you so much, this means a lot to me! ❤️
Yay, progressive house ! Someone does modernist houses, not only cutesy cottages and/or palaces !
I love modern houses and architecture, so I love experimenting with it in the Sims! Thank you for your comment ☺️
Omg I subscribed even before I finished the video, I’m so glad the algorithm showed me your channel. The building looks AMAZING you’re really talented and entertaining, keep up the good work :)
That's so nice of you! 😭 I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. Thank you for your compliments and for commenting, I appreciate it a lot! 💕
I love how you focus on the silhouette of the building rather than just floor plan, makes for a very visually appealing build 😊
Thank you so much 🥹🫶❤️
This house is beautiful. I would love to see it on the gallery. Your voice is so calming and I really like the style of the video
I realized I forgot to upload the build to the gallery when I finished the video 🫣 But I've uploaded it now, sorry! And thank you so much for your compliments--they mean so much to me ❤️
I didn't know about brutalism architecture until now. I really love the outcome and I am also looking forward for more. Please, continue doing these videos with you on-cam because it always bores me when watching speedbuilds with just their voices to the point that I'd fell asleep. I really like your thinking process while deciding on what furnitures and swatches suits the house and its big space. Wonderful job!🥰💕✨ I am now your +1 subscribers, and I am from Philippines 🇵🇭 🤗☺️
Your message means so much to me, thank you SO MUCH!! You’re very nice, and I’m so happy that you liked it 🥹❤️ sending love back to the Philippines all the way from Portugal ❤️
So glad TH-cam recommended your channel to me.
Aww, thank you so much 🥹 that's very kind of you!
beautiful build, one of the ways in which concrete shines is within brutalist styles, it creates a lot of value within its inherent beauty and it can really stand out as something beautiful by having simple shapes/sticking to monotones. a brutalist building is absolutely gorgeous without colours. kudos to you!
This is so gorgeous! If my house later does not look like that I don‘t want it. I would love to see more of this style and maybe some industrial as well.
Hahaha, aww! That’s so nice! I’m definitely wanting to build something in the industrial style 👀✍️
This video randomly came up on my algorithm and I’m so glad I did! Love to see new faces after growing up watching simmers. Amazing video btw!
So glad that you liked it! 🥹🫶 thank you so much for your support! ❤️
Your face is what made me click on this message! And I'm glad I did, this build is incredible, brutalist architecture is my favourite and this is stunning. And your voice is so soothing! Instant follow.
You’re so incredibly nice, thank you so much! I’m so happy that you liked it 😭❤️
I love what you did for the bathroom. So many Builders do the bathroom really basic because they think its "just a bathroom" but theres so much you could do to make a bathroom really cool!
Also, as someone who works for architects, i really love this build style!
I confess I sometimes to this as well-especially when the bathrooms are small. But in builds like this, where we have the space, I definitely like putting some thought into them! They can be a sanctuary after all ☺️
And wow, thank you so much! Coming from you, this means a lot!! 🥹🥰
@@Wistof I mean, I don't build all my bathrooms in a special way! I think that's normal. But I just like if people Mix it up and try different approaches and you seem to really do that on your channel! I think that's amazing 😃
9:23 this stair glitch aaaaah glad to finally learn a workaround 😅
It went back and glitched again :/ I believe I actually had to go back there and lower the platform of the planters down and raise the hedges up to fix it 🫠
man I'm seeing this wile studying and is perfect to have in background, keep it up!
probably gonna create a playlist with some of your brutalist home design videos to use wile study.
This is so nice of you 🥹 wishing you good luck with your studies! Thank you so much for your comment ❤️🫶
I’m only half-way through the video but I want to say I really like it. I was feeling quite upset and this is relaxing, and also interesting. I don’t know a lot about architecture but I’ve always been interested in it, especially how to play with it in the sims, and your intentionally brutalist building is really cool to watch. You also have a very nice voice. I love that the video isn’t very fast paced or hyper like many youtube builders do. Love it :)
Ahhh thank you so much! I’m so glad that you appreciated it and that it helped you wind down, makes me really happy to know that 🥹 thank you so much for your kind words and support!! 🫶
I finally found some build channel that builds houses in a style outside the mainstream. Thanks for the video, you have inspired me to step outside my comfort zone when it comes to my building in the sims. I like how you portray the whole thought process in building. I look forward to more videos!
Really nice video and build! 👏🏻
On a quick note, if I am not mistaken, the idea of the brutalism is also to let materials "be themselves" so you'd be unlikely to see all frames painted white but you'd see original aluminum or woodgrain instead.
The kitchen looks contemporary. It's a nice approach on a building that could be originally built in the last century but renovated now with more contemporary elements, but not too many to still respect the originality of the building.
I personally love Mid Century Modern and I wish I could, one day, live and own a house on that style.
Yeah, for sure! The idea was to have this “abandoned” brutalist building that was reclaimed and adapted into a contemporary home with stylish updates ☺️ I also absolutely love mid century style, it’s one of my favorites to build!
Thank you so much for your comment, I appreciate it a lot! 🥹❤️
this is the first video of yours i have watched and my god you build are beautiful and with you calming voice as well!??!! i am dead. i love it here and i will be staying
Aww, thank you so much for your compliments! 🥹 really glad that it came across as that! Welcome and thank you once again ❤️
I don't usually do this style, but this is great actually. I really liked some tricks that you did and I will try them, mainly to box windows. That was pretty cool
Aww, thank you so much! Yeah, brutalism is very peculiar, but it has some interesting aspects to it. So glad that you enjoyed it! 🥰
loved this!! as someone else pointed out, i particularly enjoyed how you lined up the slanted windows. i’m primarily a sims 2 builder at the moment and this has really inspired me to give a brutalist build a go
That's so cool! It's been years since I built in the Sims 2, I would love to see what you build!
And thank you so much, I'm so glad that you liked it ❤️
this is the best sims build i've seen in my life
Omg, that’s so flattering! 😭 thank you SO much!! ❤️
I love Brutalist style, and your build looks great!
I learnt so much from this build, youre so talented!
first video that i watched from this channel, and i subscribed! really love that build its not too small and cluttered. cant wait to watch more!
Found your channel yesterday and love your style and builds!
Ficou incrível, parabéns! Sou grande fã de arquitetura brutalista e nunca tinha visto alguém a fazer uma casa assim nos Sims.
"Ah caralho" gave it away 😂
Hahaha, fogo! É o que acontece quando escapa algo da edição 🤣 concordo, não é um estilo que eu veja muito representado também (talvez não seja tão popular), mas quis aventurar-me nisto porque também gosto bastante da estética. Obrigado pelo teu comentário! 🥰 Terei que passar os vídeos a pente fino a partir de agora 🤣
It's the whispering "f*ck" on minute 26:50 for me. 😂We've all been there.
Hahaha, omg, exposed 🤣 problems with wearing glasses and headphones haha. Thank you for your comment 🫶
You have such a calming energy! Very excited to watch more of your videos
I love everything about this! I never would have thought to build brutalism in this world but you made it work so well!! Great video
Aww, thank you so much! Yeah, I like the contrast of the concrete with the nature overtaking it ☺️🫶
oh hi hello! You randomly showed up in my feed and I have 2 notes: 1- it takes A TON of guts to put yourself out there, publicly, so give yourself a big pat on the back! 2- wow! what lovely content! I studied architecture for 4 years and I cannot build in the Sims without obsessing over the functionality and flow of the space. That's not to say I don't appreciate creators who focus mainly on aesthetics, but I am A SIMP for realistic builds 😁
Wow!!! This means so much to me, especially from someone who’s studied architecture! I’m so glad and proud that you liked it ☺️ thank you so much for your comment, I really appreciate it!
This video was recommended to me and I love it! Your voice and appearance are so comforting, your builds are very creative and just amazing. ❤❤❤
I'm so so happy that you think so! Your comment made me melt. Thank you so much 💚🥹
thank u youtube for recommending this channel!!! build was amazing :)
Thank YOU for commenting and for being so kind! 🥹❤️
this is such a cool video!!! love the research that went into making this a true brutalist build.. would love to see a mid century modern build from you!!
this build turned out amazing!!
I´m so impressed! The building is amazing.
Very cool! I love building brutalist things. That window wall above the conversation pit is so cool
This is such a beautiful and creative build!! Really obsessed with the angled windows in the front of the house. Amazing job!
Thank you 🤍
Hah you stirred up the algorithm with a face reveal!
I really like your style. Can't wait to check our more of your content!
Oh, this old thing? 🤣 thank you so much, I can’t wait to share more! ❤️
Can’t wait for another video!!!
this video was on my home feed, already love your vibe!! and just a quick check of your thumbnails - Talent with a capital T!!! looking forward to binging your entire catalog lol hope you have a great day!! x
Awwww, that's actually so nice of you! 🥹 I can't wait to share more and more. Thank you so much for your kind words ❤️
looks so so good!
Wow, I loved watching your creative process and very grateful for your calming voiceover instead of the super high energy speed-builds that seem to wear me out these days! What a great build. So excited to see what else is to come :)
really cool style. loved the build!
You are so talented! I just discovered your channel and i am so happy to be here for your face reveal. I have recently been working on sharing more of myself with the world so you are very much an inspiration for me. Keep up the fantastic work, your builds are truly phenomenal.
Whoa love this build!! As an avid fan of brutalism and the sims this warms my heart. Been building a long time but still learned something from this video. Absolutely love this video, so inspiring!!!
Absolutely beautiful build, I enjoy the thought process you go through with it.
Aww, thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked it!
I just found your channel, and I must say, this is one of the coolest, if not the coolest build I’ve ever seen! I’ll definitely follow for more! ❤
Oh, wow!!! That means so much to me! Thank you for your kindness 🥹❤️
Already you are my favorite simmer! Your cadence is so soothing and your build is beautiful!
First time here and I love how relaxing it is to watch your videos. The whole build is so creative, love it!!
Thank you so so much!! Welcome in, so nice having you here 🥹🫶
Thanks TH-cam for recommending your channel. I’m not even playing the Sims or interested in architecture but this is so fun! And I love your voice, very chill ☺️
Great build! I don’t really know anything about this style but I love your build. I really like all the greenery. Also it’s nice to see you! Excited to see your next build! 😊❤️
Thank you so much for your constant support! It's really nice to read your comments every time 🥰 thank you!
hi!
I loved watching the video and the building looks amazing in the end
This was done so beautifully!!!! love the content a lot. the way you made concrete look like its married with the nature around it is so so good.
Thank you so much! 🥹 sending love to you and wishing you a great week! 🫶
Great video, and that's a beautiful build, I love this style. I can't connect to the gallery so I tried to rebuild it myself from scratch, it turned out a bit different but was really fun.
That sounds like a cool challenge! Thank you so much, I’m glad you liked it 🥹❤️
This is my first visit to your channel. I can only imagine how nervous you may have been for the first time using the face cam. Kudos to you sir 🎉
I sat in front of the computer just staring at the “Post video” button for whole five minutes. I thought about it a lot, but I finally had the courage to do it 🥹 thank you so much! ❤️
This is my first video of yours. I generally hate the brutalist style, but you've softened it up a bit with the woods and that beautiful greenery. Subscribed. :)
Yes, the brutalist style can be very dividing! Haha. Thank you so so much, I really appreciate you 🥰
Love this build, I’m glad it crossed my feed. Thank you.
That’s so nice of you-thank you so much! 🫶
Loved the video, so glad it came up in my recommended - I will definitely be keeping up with your uploads :)
Awww, thank you so much!! So happy you liked it! ❤️
This is amazing!!! Thank you for showing yourself ❤️
Thank you for your kindness 💕
Love the facecam, and this build was great! Good job on the editing as well. Nice pacing, funny zooms ❤ All of it was perfect
Omg I LOVE! The sunken outdoor lounge and the slanted windows are perfect!!
Ohhh thank you, I’m so glad that you like them! 🫶🥰
This was a great build and great video! It was fun to watch you build in real time and go through different choices and explain your aesthetic choices, and lovely to see your face both as you worked on the build and reacted to EA being EA😅
Aww, thank you so much! Reading this made me really happy, I'm really glad that you like it. And yeah, a bit of shade never hurt nobody 🤣❤️
This is beautiful!!! My dream home fr
Oh, such an amazing build! Reminds me of soviet brutalist buildings, makes me feel kinda nostalgic
So glad I found your channel! You have a really unique building style and a really soothing vibe ✨️
Thank you so much! I'm so happy to know you get & appreciate the calming vibe 🥹
