10 houses with minimal frames that invite the outside in

How does the structure optimize natural light? Does it provide unobstructed views? Are windows a medium to bridge the gap between the indoors and surrounding landscape? Any critical dialogue on residential architecture always mentions how the openings are designed to maximise comfort and views. This is where minimal frames shine through – by enabling large glazed windows with minimal (slender) profiles. Unlike traditional casement systems, glass becomes the primary component that is self-supporting and seamless. These windows blur the line between the interior spaces and the exterior, thus enhancing relations with the surrounding environment. Minimal frames are sleek, timeless, and made to embrace natural light, allowing their appli... More

Culvert Guesthouse by Nendo explores Minimalism through Stacked Concrete Volumes

Set amidst Nagano Prefecture’s forested Miyota Machi, Culvert Guesthouse by Nendo is a sublime example of architectural kitbashing. The stacked precast concrete culverts take shape as a gallery space for archiving artwork, products and furniture with an attached guesthouse. Takumi Ota The design comprises four precast concrete tunnels assembled on site with an enclosed roof in the centre. The assembly of volumes creates interstitial spaces encased by a seamless glass frame. Takumi Ota Although the interiors are long and narrow with a span of 2-2.3m, the clean white, minimal edges define the space.

Villa Taganrog

The story of this project began when the customer, having seen some of our work, decided to simply buy a ready-made project, but we offered to create his own dream home. This is how we started working together on the project, and the result was that modern house. Fedorova Architects Fedorova Architects The main criterion for its timelessness and harmony is that 7 years after its creation, and all the way through, neither I nor the customer has ever had the slightest desire to change a single detail. The plot with the house is located not far from Taganrog, in a picturesque place on the bank of the estuary, which flows into the Azov Sea. The secluded location and lack of neighbors made it possible to maximize the views from...
