Minimalissimo Weekly Edit
Letter Nº3
This week we continued working on some minor tweaks to the site, including adding an RSS and JSON feed if you prefer to consume our content that way. We’ll soon be adding a dark mode, which was actually a feature of our previous site. I like giving readers the option of how they like to read, so we'll bring this back and make it available soon. I might even make it an easter egg and just tell this email list about it.
Although not directly related to Minimalissimo, I wrote a blog post this week called Nuances of Minimalism, which you might be interested in reading. It outlines some of the fundamental differences of the principle, including a reference on design.

Creator Interview
Kazushige Miyake
“There are no limits to design. We design from a zero base, with no preconceived ideas of a particular product’s design.”
Features
Brutalist Silence
Located in the newest of Berlin’s community space Marina Marina, a re-positioning of 1950s architecture at the waterfront, it is a creative hub for entrepreneurs. The project named Brutalist Silence sports the interior design and styling by Annabell Kutucu, from No Ordinary Agency. It is a work of undeniable charm and a masterclass on how to apply contemporary minimalism with a hefty dose of post-war brutalism.
Penthouse in Costa Blanca
Fran Silvestre Arquitectos’ Penthouse in Costa Blanca is covered with a continuous surface of marble on multiple planes. The minimal residential project is situated in Costa Blanca, Spain, and features an open plan layout with a contrasting palette.
