WHAT IS MINIMALISM

 It is an artistic movement that flourished in the sixties that

emerged from under the school of abstraction and is
characterized by presenting artworks with the least number
of elements and colors. And it relies on simplification and
omitting many details.

ITERIOR EXAMPLES OF
MINIMALISE STYLE
 Conceived mainly from concrete, steel,
and glass, the series of spaces were left
deliberately as a blank canvas to allow the
art speak for itself. The ground floor
features terrazzo concrete, while upstairs
features smooth running concrete
interspersed by an oak wood floor pattern.
Floor to ceiling glass windows draw
attention to natural light throughout the
residence.
 The stainless steel kitchen has a stylish,
essentialist aesthetic, and can be hidden
behind chrome steel curtains when not in
use. The exterior facade achieves a
harmony of materiality; whereby layered
volumes of concrete, glass, and metal in
muted beige tones, complement one
another.
