AC Residence is a minimal home located in London, United Kingdom, designed by deDraft. From the outset, the client had a strong brief outlining what they wished to achieve and the first challenge was to refine these into a series of coherent and feasible options addressing both the needs of the client, budget. The client was keen to be heavily involved in both the design process as well as the day-to-day matters affecting procurement and construction.

Le Marais Apartment is a minimal apartment located in Paris, France, designed by Saba Ghorbanalinejad. The renovation sought to transform the first floor of a period building, maintaining as much of the original structure as possible. Inclusive of these historical elements is the wooden beams across the ceiling, stone fireplace, and existing glazings. Contemporary pieces are introduced along with light materials to create a bright and airy space.

In Frame, time-honored Scandinavian design meets Note’s renowned, contemporary creativity for an updated take on the classic kitchen that merges the clean lines of the north with a warm and tactile, human-centered approach. In simpler terms, Frame by Note Design Studio puts people at the center, and it makes you want to reach out and touch wood.

Offices Paris 16th is a minimalist office space located in Paris, France, designed by Studio Vincent Eschalier. The architect carried out an important cleaning of the premises and thus regained clarity in the spaces. The volumes now uncovered and full of light allow a wide freedom of layout. The raw ceiling, stainless steel and concrete bring an industrial spirit to the space. This combination of materials along with the noble aspect of solid wood floors and white paints create a softened raw tone, a reinterpretation of the contemporary office.

House Renovation Montcada is a minimal residence located in Montcada, Spain, designed by Hiha Studio. Renovation of a ground floor family house located between two party walls. The living area is connected to the new patio, situated in the back of the plot, providing a maximum of intimacy and an optimal light situation. The strategic approach lies in the distinctive corridor which connects the entrance and living area through a curved shape. The composition of the facade is based on three rectangular apertures. A ceramic lattice, which covers two of them, benefits the privacy. The third one, the main door, is covered in the same pattern in order to support the impression of symmetry. The materiality is based on ceramic elements of the facade and the floor, standing in contrast with the neutral materiality of the varnished carpentry and furniture.

Penha de França Apartment is a minimalist apartment located in Lisbon, Portugal, designed by Lola Cwikowski. Among the art-deco modernist architecture of the relaxed Penha de França neighborhood, just beyond the tourist path, an actor has acquired a home for peaceful retreat with family and friends. Extensive collaboration with the client rendered a space instilled with wrought-metal accents, vintage woods, and tropical plants, recalling the instruments of cinema’s southern California golden age and the natural landscape of southern Portugal. A modest hand-crafted bed is the backdrop of the master bedroom, flanked by modern Portugese wall lamps and nightstands with vintage flair. Generous apertures show changing seasonal foliage, while an adjacent contemporary reading chair relishes rays of afternoon sunlight throughout the year. In the guest room, extant closets were modified into a nook, accommodating a larger bed and slender nightstands.

Jing’an Residence is a minimal home located in Shanghai, China, designed by Mason Studio. The multi-generational families that inhabit these townhouses, together with a minimal design approach, redefines accepted notions of luxury within the urban context of Shanghai, China. Each townhome is a pure expression created to be a lasting home for generations; one that values quality and craftsmanship over ostentation. The environments prioritize natural light, the use of the highest quality finishes and refined construction detailing to express how essentialism redefines traditional perceptions of luxury. By playing up natural materials like wood and marble – and sculpting light directly into the interior design – Mason Studio has done just that. Their luxury townhouses in the Jing’an neighborhood in Shanghai emphasize modern minimalism, and stand out for their use of the essential elements only.
