Villa Göth, Brutalist private residence in Uppsala, Sweden

The Villa Göth displays raw concrete forms, dark brick walls, and visible I-beams across the window sections of both front and rear facades.

Built in 1950 for Pharmacia executive Elis Göth, this residential structure was designed by architects Bengt Edman and Lennart Holm.

The building gained international recognition as the source of the term brutalism, coined by architect Hans Asplund during a visit to the property.

Located on Döbelnsgatan in the Kåbo district, the two-floor residence includes a basement and features bathrooms made of raw concrete in the shape of Aalto vases.

The interior walls maintain consistency with the exterior through dark brick construction, while concrete ceilings display the original tongue-and-groove patterns from wooden forms.
