The term minimalism is used to

describe a trend in design and


architecture where in the subject
is reduced to its necessary
elements. Minimalist design has
been highly influenced by
Japanese traditional design and
architecture. De Stijl expanded
the ideas that could be expressed
by using basic elements such as
lines and planes organized in very
particular manners.
Architect Ludwig Mies van der
Rohe adopted the motto "Less is
more" to describe his aesthetic
tactic.
In the collection “City House” they are some design of house
that are minimalism. For example:

*House T
*Helechos
*Ombúes
*Retama
*House G
*Loft Forests
*Of the Bridge
A slab of concrete with a smooth and glossy finish accommodates the
space for the dinning room, barely delimited by the transparency of a
glass rail on an intermediate floor between two floors that begin at the
lobby. Minimalist interior architecture where the intense colors of
wood stand out on the walls, handrails and doors, and most
remarkably, the ebony of the furniture in the dinning room,
accentuated by the whiteness of its carpets and an elegant slab of
marble. The large windows and the use of neutral colors on most of
the finishes adds light to the atmosphere.
The transparency of the interior facade reveals a pleasing
aesthetic experience, not only through sculptures and paintings of
great artistic value, but also trough the way they are displayed to
the observer. The architectural concept also approaches artistic
dimensions in a space where wood, color, texture, furniture and
the originality of the different elements that take part in the
composition are equally.
