While we constantly seek connections with nature and the outdoors, minimal façades have emerged as a powerful tool for redefining modern living. These sleek, understated designs blur the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces, creating seamless transitions that blur the distinction between living indoors and out.

Jordão Theatre: A Testament to Preservation and Modernity

The Jordão Theatre, a project by the Pitagoras Group, stands as a testament to the harmonious blend of preservation and modernization. The existing façade of the historical building was carefully preserved, while a new floor was added using a lightweight metallic structure and an OTIIMA glass curtain facade. This minimalist façade, featuring a seamless connection between glass and metal, complements the original architecture while introducing a touch of contemporary elegance.

House in Aluminium: A Minimalist Retreat

Designed by Franc Silvestre, the House in Aluminum is a prime example of how minimalism can create a sense of tranquillity and serenity. The horizontal form of the house, clad in a single material – natural stone – blends seamlessly into its surroundings. The interior spaces are organized around a central courtyard, providing natural light and ventilation while creating a sense of openness and connection to the outdoors.

Instituto Moreira Salles: A Museum of Light and Perception

The Instituto Moreira Salles, designed by Andrade Morettin Arquitetos Associados, offers a unique blend of minimalism and sensorial experience. The façade, clad in reflective glass, frames the cityscape, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. Visitors enter the museum and are guided through a series of ramps and terraces, gradually transitioning from the bustling city streets to a tranquil interior space. This journey culminates in the elevated ground floor, offering panoramic city views and providing a new perspective and a sense of awe and wonder
