The house is a building that has a function as a place to
live and shelter. Everyone wants to build a nice and comfortable house, of

affordable homes.
Minimalist houses are an option because of their good shape
and affordable prices. Before building or building a house with a minimalist
concept, it would be nice if you understand the true meaning of a minimalist
home.
What is a minimalist house?
People today are a little mistaken about the definition of a
minimalist home because they think a minimalist house is defined as a house
that is small in size.
The correct understanding of a minimalist house is a house
building that uses only the important or essential parts and leaves the parts
that are not needed.
Minimalist houses prioritize efficiency both in terms of
materials and space. Because in a minimalist house there are no intricate
carvings or shapes. The rooms are made efficient which gives peace of mind and
peace.
What influences this minimalist concept comes from Japanese
culture called Zen culture. The Japanese make zen culture a form of design and
aesthetics of building houses.
Zen itself is a Buddhist philosophy that developed in East
Asia. Zen is a sect of Japanese Mahayan Buddhism which is one of the schools of
Buddhism. This flow combines elements of local culture and art.
If Zen is associated with housing, then be a home design that
reflects balance, relaxation and harmony. Occupancy will look neat and will
make residents become more disciplined.
