Minimalist

Updated Mar 25, 2026

Less is more. Clean surfaces, monochromatic palette, hidden storage.

Reduction to essentials. Flat roof, monochromatic, concealed services, frameless glass. Paradoxically expensive - simplicity requires precision. $300-$700/sf. Architects: Tadao Ando, John Pawson.
