A lack of ornament in no way leaves the spaces of this home without visual interest. Minimalist design uses simplicity to create a unique space. Carefully chosen angles, materials, and lighting are used to create the highest visual impact with the least amount of items. With the thoughtful use of vacant spaces in minimalist architecture, empty space is used to draw attention to the key architectural elements, or the lack thereof. 

The color palettes used in this home complement the concept of using as little as possible. White, grey, brick red, or other calm neutrals, such as tan of the wooden elements are used extensively. Simple building materials such as steel, stone, concrete, and glass are used. While these materials often have neutral colors that play well with minimalist designs, they also keep the core of the building as simple as possible, omitting any unnecessary ornamentation.

Simplified angles and clean lines are used throughout the structure and are often repeated, giving the whole building a feeling of orderliness and simplicity. Geometric shapes are common, while curved, ornate lines are not utilized since they would detract from the clean, minimal and practicality of minimalist architecture.
