Mori House is a minimalist residence located in Mount Martha, Australia, designed by Manuel Aires Mateus in collaboration with MAArchitects. The name “Mori” means “forest” in Japanese, a linguistic choice that encapsulates the design ethos of the project. The furniture and interior layout prioritize Zen principles like harmony, functionality, and a close relationship with nature.

Modernism is back in architecture. But it's not all bad — really

Modernism is back in architecture. But it’s not all bad — really

If the Australian Institute of Architects Awards are anything to go by, modernism is back, baby. Guy Rundle reviews the good, the bad, and the mildly depressing. Wangaratta Street by MAArchitects (Image: MAArchitects; Private Media) There’s many ways to define what modernism is, or was, or is again, and one of them might be as a war between architects and the rest of us. From around the 1920s…

Cloud modular sofa from Prostoria. ‘Jojo and I got the colour samples separately and unanimously agreed on the purple,’ says Karen. ‘I think you don’t choose the colour, the colour chooses you. It’s big and bold and makes the living room feel generous.’ Benches designed by Karen and built by Kennedy’s Timbers from planks of blackbutt with a Danish oil finish. Photo – Caitlin Mills for The Design Files.

In 2006, when Karen Alcock and her partner Jojo were looking to buy a house in Melbourne’s inner North, they quickly watched prices rise by $50,000. Desperate, the couple opted to inspect the literal cheapest house for sale in Fitzroy at the time. 

‘Because it was one bedroom, it was in our price range,’ says Karen, principal of MAArchitects. ‘The laneway location probably put a few people off, [but] what they didn’t realise was that it was its best asset.’ 

They bought the property, and went on to undertake a major renovation in 2010, just after their son Luca was born. 

‘We moved out, knocked everything off from the ridge back, and were able to tuck in an upstairs bedroom and ensuite and renovate the lower level,’ Karen says. ‘To keep the height of the building down, we created a split level on the ground floor so the upstairs bedroom could tuck behind the existing roof with an east-facing window poking over the ridge.’

It’s been a slow process, with the garden and kitchen taking the most time to refine. ‘It’s one thing to design a house for clients. but much more difficult to design a home for yourself. You have so many ideas!’ says Karen. ‘We spent a few years just building things and playing around to see what worked and what we liked.’

A particular challenge was deciding on a suitable interior scheme for the kitchen. As it turns out, simple is best. ‘When we first moved in we did a refresh of the kitchen, and I made Jojo paint it three times because I couldn’t make up my mind (she wont let me forget this),’ Karen says. ‘It was then I realised that I like white. Keep it simple and add the colour with art and furniture.’ 

The couple have styled the home with a variety of thoughtfully selected pieces, from a Hans Wegner CH25 chair, to $10 lights from Ikea. ‘We choose things that are something or nothing – they just can’t be mediocre,’ Karen says. The main paint colour on the walls and panelling is Dulux Lexicon.

In 15 years, this house and its owners have changed a lot. ‘We came here just two of us, and we will be leaving as a family of three with two dogs!’ says Karen. ‘The only reason we are moving is because we bought a Labrador and learned how to garden during lockdown.’

The two-bedroom house goes to auction next week!

40 Minimalist Dining Rooms That Will Leave You Hungry to Copy Their Style

Like the kitchen, the dining room is an essential gathering place for any home. It’s where families can gather after a long day apart and where guests can break bread with their hosts. The extravagant formal dining rooms of yore that made it difficult to talk to someone at the other end of the table have long since given way to something a bit simpler, where breakfast cereal is more common than a five-course meal. The dining rooms featured here are elegant in their simplicity. The minimalist aesthetic works so well in the dining room because it can create a clear, clean canvas for the tapestry of the next meal that will be shared at the sparse but beautiful table.

Photographer: Jonas Lindström    As with so many minimalist rooms, white will be a popular color palette in the minimalist dining room. In this Scandinavian style dining room, white walls and concrete floors create a bright, airy space in an industrial-style loft.

Visualizer: Home D   Lighting should never be neglected in an dining room — these black dining pendant lights match nicely with the black dining table in this otherwise sparsely decorated room.

Visualizer: Artem Bobrov   Indeed, black modern dining chairs are rather popular in the minimalist dining room.

Visualizer: Stijn Vereeken   Even taller black chairs like these ones can fit into the minimalist aesthetic, mimicking the lines of the kitchen cabinetry and making the room feel bigger and more open.

Designer: i29 Architects   Minimalist dining rooms do not have to be devoid of decoration. This space has a creative accent wall with a spattering of creative elements yet remains clean and sleek.

Designer: Tierney Conner Design Studio   This cozy minimalist dining room leans towards the Scandinavian style with its ocean blue accent pillows and unique light fixture.

Visualizer: Denis Khramov   Two brands of white Scandinavian style chairs make an appearance in this minimalist dining room: the Panton S sculpted chair and the classic Eames chair.

Designer: Paolo Didonè & Devvy Comacchio   This tropical-inspired minimalist dining room has a beachy feel from its tile floor to sloped ceiling beams.

Designer: Suzie McAdam   For a more colorful minimalist dining room, consider subtle shades like sage green, which work nicely with this room’s http://amzn.to/2hRQezh. Similar dining pendants are available here.

Photographer: Christian Gahl    The light wood Wishbone chairs featured here have that minimalist Scandinavian vibe that is so on trend.

Visualizer: Volma Graphics   The wood chairs work well in mostly white minimalist designs like this one.

Visualizer: Anastasia Bakurova    Minimalist line art and a statement area rug make this minimalist living room quite artistic.

Visualizer: Metro Cúbico Digital    A statement dining pendant can be a great lighting choice in a minimalist dining room.

Designer: Schlicht Lamprecht    When a large statement dining pendant doesn’t quite work, more subtle pendant lighting combined with recessed lighting can be design-friendly as well as practical. The Eames shell chair is a another stylish addition.

Visualizer: 081 Arch   Many minimalist dining rooms exist in open floor plan homes, which means their subtle color schemes need to mesh with surrounding areas as well — including the kitchen and dining room.

Designer: Arthur Carvalho Vieira    A white tile kitchen and light wood dining set make this minimalist dining room quite simple and chic.

Designer: Joanna Kubieniec    You don’t need a lot of room to make a minimalist dining room with artificial tropical leaves work.

Architect: Benn & Penna   Photographer: Tom Ferguson   The use of a longer table like this one can elongate a room.

Visualizer: Line Architects   Lest you think the shell chair is the only Eames option for minimalist, the Eames eiffel base arm chair is another simple and beautiful option.

Visualizer: Vüsal Abbasov    Minimalist dining rooms can use creative elements like a chalkboard wall to bring in simple, colorful bursts of personality.

Visualizer: Tesla Studio   The stunning whitewashed floorboards in this minimalist dining room really make the room feel bigger.

Visualizer: AVG   This dining room just manages to squeak into the minimalist aesthetic with its limited palette and clean lines, but large dining pendants and a huge art piece make this room a bit bolder than some of the others.

Designer: MAArchitects   The white retro dining chairs in the brightly light room are quite interesting.

Visualizer: Inuti   When a dining table butts up against the kitchen counter, an easy flow is created. The linear suspension light helps, too.

Visualizer: Vuong Hai Duong   The wood framed windows and decorative candles give this dining room a bit of a nautical flair.

Visualizer: Lada Kamyshanskaya   A modern fruit bowl and chandelier give this minimalist dining table a futuristic feel.

Visualizer: Haptic Architects   Mismatched About A Chair replicas take a minimalist dining room in a bohemian direction.

Visualizer: Emanuela Berardi   Dark grey is less popular than stark white in minimalist designs, but its a bit gentler than black for a bit of contrast.

Visualizer: Aurélien BRION   This clean dining room is another example of the flooring creating a visual cue for a bigger seeming room.

Visualizer: Zrobym Architects   In this colorful minimalist dining room, the Unfold pendant matches the yellow Eames chairs.

Visualizer: Daniel Reuterswärd   This cozy dining room with a Drop chair definitely has the feeling of hygge — the Scandinavian idea of utter coziness and relaxation.

Photographer: Jonas Lindström   Picture windows make minimalist design an easy choice because the view does the job of added decorative flourish.

Visualizer: Antonio Rodríguez    Instead of large windows, this dining room has amazing geometric ceilings as its design focal point.

Visualizer: Michal Nowak   The sculpted dining chairs in this modern minimalist black and white dining room have a certain 1980s flair to them.

Visualizer: VN Studio   On the other side of the coin is this rustic-inspired minimalist dining room.

Visualizer: Alexander Korobka   The way that the legs on these dining chairs are exactly parallel to the legs of the dining table is the stuff of a minimalist’s dreams.

Visualizer: Cecilia Corda   This bright white minimalist dining room includes indoor plants as well as an herb planter for added color.

Visualizer: Kseniia D   This dark minimalist dining room includes an unfinished wood table as well as a minimalist framed print.

Visualizer: Rue Temple   A dark industrial dining room can still be minimalist.

Visualizer: Andi Buftea   Finally, mismatched woods and minimalist furnishings that can expand for company make this cozy dining room a cute and practical choice.
