minimalist architecture
Less-is-more design
Minimalist architecture emphasizes simplicity, clean lines, and open spaces.
The style strips buildings to essential elements—flat planes, geometric forms, neutral colors—eliminating ornament and clutter.
Materials like concrete, glass, and steel remain visible rather than concealed.
The approach owes much to the Bauhaus movement and Japanese aesthetics: The house was minimalist architecture at its purest—white walls, vast windows, almost no furniture.
