Modern Minimalist House Designs
Minimalism has become quite popular over the years as a design philosophy and way of life.
Modern trends dictate that less is more and sustainable minimalist houses are all the rage. As proof of how big this trend is, many architectural wonders display this style in an eye-candy fashion. Modern Minimalist homes can be stunningly beautiful, yet the sustainable nature of these projects (and often the use of recycled materials) implies an affordable cost. That’s what makes these houses all the more attractive.
Whether you’re looking to build a minimalist house yourself or you’re just scouting for design examples to show your house builder, we have some inspiring ideas for you. These modern minimalist houses are prime examples of the style they represent. And while you might not want to live in every one of them, it’s very likely that you’ll find a house that is very close to what you’re looking for.
Minimalist architecture is about achieving better design through simplicity – a simplicity of form, space, materiality, detail, and color. Minimalist design also shows restraint and a careful paring down and editing of spaces to get to a place of clarity.
We appreciate modern minimalist design at YR Architecture + Design. Who doesn’t like clean, open spaces that allow the architecture, the furniture, and the materials in the room to breathe? It’s the simple, honest detailing and simple materials that make minimalism so appealing and why we enjoy creating minimalist spaces – because we appreciate the calmness, the warmth, and the beauty that these kinds of spaces exude.
Modern Minimalist house design is very, very in right now. A well-designed modern minimalist house blurs the boundary between inside and outside, and presents you with a vast amount of space and flexibility. But how do you go about creating something that could truly be called ‘minimalist’?
Characteristics of modern minimalist house design include:
1. Simplicity in form and function
2. Uncomplicated cladding & wall finishes
3. Clean, open, light-filled spaces
4. Simple detailing devoid of decoration
5. Strategic use of materials for visual interest, texture, and personality
