Minimalist lifestyle philosophy represents a practical, dynamic, concise, effective, and efficient, which is applied in all aspects of life including house building architecture, interior space and exterior gardens. Collaboration minimalist house and garden became the medium of communication between the architecture and landscaping with a form of contrast, hard-soft, stiff-soft, dead-alive, geometric, dynamic, and between man-made (cultural) and nature.

Minimalist eliminate saturation with the use of decorative ornaments, knick-knacks accessories. Character and quality of spaces created is determined by the existence of space itself, not by the furniture and knick-knacks accessories in it. Space becomes felt relieved (hollow, immortality, meditative atmosphere) according to the primary needs of residents, to optimize the circulation of healthy fresh air, and lighting is abundant sunshine (rich color).

Natural lighting from windows, doors, walls transparent (stained glass, glassblock), or skylights, shade trees, plants and composition of pavement, the right will bring the shadow of the objects of sunlight reflected off the walls as a natural aesthetic elements of its own. While the game is very artistic lighting lamps, spotlights well, growing lights, up to the chandelier with geometric shapes, can liven up the evening.

It should be understood, the concept of Western and Eastern minimalism is somewhat different. Western minimalist concept of rational functional tend to put more emphasis on the function of space and material honesty of expression. While the concept is very minimalist Eastern-influenced philosophy of Zen Buddhism that emphasizes simplicity, harmony, efficient, and effective, and symbolizes the emptiness and silence (spiritual values) for each space created clear, plain, and clear, so that space can be lived greatness of the Creator. Being a minimalist nature.

Geometric pattern, proportionate, effective, efficient, neutral colors, and natural (the impression of relief and field), pure colors (primary), the representation of nature (plants, contour shape, the element of water), raw material without excessive finishing (the impression of quiet, gentle , pure, holy, innocent), texture, and contrast.

Minimalism requires the alignment of materials, shapes, colors, and textures with the impression conveyed to the warm, intimate, romantic, natural, or futuristic. Game with the theme of monochromatic colors like shades of one or two primary colors creates unity between house and garden space.

Use of construction materials (house and garden) minimalism is not necessarily expensive. Use simple materials (strong temperance element) rather than a luxury with expensive materials, and natural materials (the elements of harmony with nature). Exposure to the dominance of material (soft and hard) will produce certain effects different. Design and calculation of the detailed structure can save the use of building materials with optimum home and garden show artistically.
