Minimalissimo Weekly Edit
Minimalissimo in Design
Hello. I hope you’ve had a good week. We have finally begun the process of printing the Selection book, which is super exciting and should be completed early next week. Once completed, we’ll be prioritising the shipments of all pre-orders. We’ll then be pouring a lot of energy into promoting the book and establishing international stockists to help make shipping as cost-effective as possible. Thanks for your patience and support with this project.
For all projects we’re working on, you can see updates in our Sync, which you’ll get access to by becoming a member.
Our features over the past week include a few architectural gems, starting with a beautiful black box located in the stunning Isle of Skye in Scotland. We also visit Japan to admire a residence that brilliantly explores the boundary between modernity and tradition. In our featured mood, we celebrate the minimalist photography Gerhardt Kellermann. Have a read, take it slow, and enjoy your Sunday.
— Carl Barenbrug, Creative Director
Features
Harlosh Black House
On the Isle of Skye’s rugged and beautiful west coast of Scotland, Harlosh Black House is positioned and designed to both withstand the weather and embrace the stunning landscape, so you can immerse yourself in both. Surrounded by an open croft and overlooking Loch Bracadale, this architectural hideaway for two is a soft minimalist space that’s private, contemporary, and luxurious.
House in Sakura
Designed by tokudaction, House in Sakura is an abode of memory fragments. At first glance, the decorative roofing tiles encompass the structure with a magical air of the past. The surrounding garden gives a natural embrace with swaying branches and hanging yellow fruits. Masked behind an olden facade is a minimal interior made of wood panels and white plaster.
