Marvila is a minimalist home located in Lisbon, Portugal, designed by Atelier José Andrade Rocha. The design shifts away from rigid functional definitions, instead embracing a sense of openness and celebration. The street-facing façade remains unchanged, subtly hinting at the internal transformation.

Architetrix

Architetrix is a minimalist architecture and design photography project of the building called Muralla Roja. Muralla Roja is a building designed and built by the architect Ricardo Bofill Levi. It is located in the La Manzanera urbanization, within the municipality of Calpe, in the province of Alicante, Spain. Its construction was completed in 1973, although according to the architect own words, its design began ten years earlier. The configuration of the building is a constructive aesthetic evocation, based on a series of patios connected to each other from where the houses are accessed, and on the roof terraces the solariums are distributed on different levels.

This stunning structure is the Florida Polytechnic University designed by “starchitect” Santiago Calatrava, and had been on my “to see” list for a while now. Here are my photos from my visit.

Jaw-dropping, futuristic, minimal, organic, uplifting, and oddly comforting, its soaring frond-like arches feel like an airy spatial embrace. Perhaps a small influence from M.C. Escher’s “Architecture?” Calatrava is known for this beautiful modern architecture style, simplistic in lines yet complex in construction.

Inside, polished concrete floors and white curvilinear walls are both practical and beautiful, and the encircling “moat” surrounding the building is stocked with aquatic life, landscapes with palm trees, and lush lawns.

The lounge up the stairs from the main entrance’s furniture gives LeCorbusier LC2 feels, surely an intentional nod.

It’s a rare talent that can envision concrete and steel elevated into such an incredible lightness of being. No wonder Santiago Calatrava’s designs set my heart a-flutter.

The Future of Minimalist Architecture: How Aluminium System Windows Play a Role

In the ever-evolving world of architecture, minimalism has emerged as a timeless design philosophy. Characterized by clean lines, open spaces, and a focus on functionality, minimalist architecture continues to shape the way we design and experience our living and working environments. As a leading system supplier of aluminium windows and doors in India, GREFET is proud to be at the forefront of this movement, providing innovative solutions that align with the principles of minimalist design.

In this blog, we explore the future of minimalist architecture and the pivotal role aluminium system windows play in bringing these designs to life.

The Essence of Minimalist Architecture

Minimalist architecture is all about simplicity, clarity, and the elimination of excess. It emphasizes the use of essential elements to create spaces that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Key features of minimalist design include:

Clean lines and geometric shapes

Neutral color palettes

Abundance of natural light

Open and uncluttered spaces

High-quality, durable materials

As architects and homeowners increasingly embrace these principles, the demand for materials and systems that complement minimalist aesthetics has grown. This is where aluminium system windows come into play.

Why Aluminium System Windows are Perfect for Minimalist Architecture

Aluminium system windows have become a cornerstone of modern minimalist architecture, and for good reason. Here’s how they contribute to the future of this design trend:

Sleek and Slim Profiles Aluminium windows are known for their slim, elegant profiles that maximize glass area while minimizing visual obstruction. This aligns perfectly with the minimalist ethos of creating open, airy spaces that blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors.

Durability and Strength Minimalist architecture often relies on high-quality materials that stand the test of time. Aluminium is inherently strong, resistant to corrosion, and capable of withstanding harsh weather conditions, making it an ideal choice for long-lasting, low-maintenance designs.

Versatility in Design Aluminium system windows offer unparalleled versatility. They can be customized to fit any architectural style, from floor-to-ceiling glass walls to sliding or casement windows. This flexibility allows architects to create unique, minimalist designs tailored to their vision.

Energy Efficiency Sustainability is a key consideration in modern architecture. Aluminium windows can be paired with double or triple glazing, thermal breaks, and advanced sealing technologies to enhance energy efficiency. This not only reduces energy consumption but also aligns with the minimalist principle of purposeful design.

Seamless Integration with Smart Technology As smart homes become more prevalent, aluminium system windows are evolving to integrate seamlessly with automation systems. From motorized blinds to smart locks, these windows enhance functionality without compromising on aesthetics.

The Future of Minimalist Architecture with Aluminium Windows

The future of minimalist architecture is bright, and aluminium system windows are set to play an even greater role in shaping it. Here are some trends to watch out for:

Biophilic Design

Sustainable Living

Modular and Prefabricated Homes

Innovative Finishes
