Soft Minimal - A Sensory Approach to Architecture and Design by Norm Architects and gestalten
A Sensory Approach to Architecture and Design with Soft Minimal a book by gestalten and Norm Architects
Discover a sensory approach to architecture and design with Soft Minimal by Norm Architects.
Architecture and design have grappled with the tension between “less” and “more” for centuries and continue to play a vital role in the search for a spatial equilibrium that satisfies human needs and pleases the senses, while leaving enough freedom to dream. Read more about this tension in Soft Minimal, a book by Norm Architects.
The holistic perception of Norm Architects in Soft Minimal, a book by gestalten.
We spend most of our time indoors. Our experience of everyday life is largely dependent on the man-made structures, materials and objects that form our modern habitat. The story of our lives unfolds between the walls of home— our place of sanctuary—at our work desks, restaurant tables, and within the greater infrastructure of the city. Read more in Soft Minimal by gestalten.
At the Azabu Residence designed together with Keiji Ashizawa, the space is sparsely exposed to daylight creating opportunities for poetic shadows. This project is featured in Soft Minimal by Norm Architects.
At the K House in Sri Lanka, traditional methods are employed via a Scandinavian perspective. Shutters without glass aid ventilation, simple spaces fuse indoor with outdoor and natural materials honor the genius loci. Learn about this project in Soft Minimal by Norm Architects.
Returning to Nature with Soft Minimal by Norm Architects.
The long sightlines and full height windows—cut right down to the Dinesen floors—give the feeling of barely being inside at all. Nature is omnipresent. The incorporation of natural materials as artwork imbues the decidedly contemporary design with a comforting earthiness.
A project designed by Norm Architects featured in Soft Minimal, a book by gestalten.
Light and dark are potent painters of space. Light-filled rooms feel hopeful and energizing while those cast in darkness can either soothe or unsettle. Moments of chiaroscuro can emphasize a given material or bring drama into the scene. Discover more about interior design in Soft Minimal by Norm Architects.
Through the insightful essays and tactile imagery collected in Soft Minimal, Norm Architects shares the principles that underpin a human-centric design philosophy honed over 15 years. The artful balance of light and shadow is reflected in a Swedish retreat, while a Japanese house quietly professes the calming effect of natural materials; a Sri Lankan residence makes the case for bringing the landscape inside, and a Danish retail space celebrates tactility.
