"I like raw materials, vastness and things that are challenging. I don't like fuss or decoration and Brutalism fits all of those things," Atkinson told Dezeen.

"Brutalist architecture is generally very functional, made with excellent materials and is non-apologetic. I'm not often bothered by buildings that try to fit into their surroundings."
