About

We focus on minimalist architecture that allows for quiet reflection – spaces where the eye can rest, the soul can breathe and the beauty of less.

Less clutter.
Less waste.
Less excess.
Less noise.

Welcome to Simple Dwelling, a publication born from a deep appreciation for minimalist architecture and the beauty of less.

Founded by Anthony Richardson, Simple Dwelling is dedicated to showcasing beautifully minimalist homes in Australia and Japan. Through original video and narrative storytelling, we invite you to slow down, breathe and find calm in a world that often feels overwhelming.

At Simple Dwelling, we believe in the power of simplicity and challenge traditional perceptions of minimalism. It’s not just about white walls and stark spaces—it’s about essential design, clean lines, and thoughtful details that elevate daily life. For us, minimalism is about questioning how much we truly need and finding beauty in what remains when everything else is stripped away.

Our stories are meticulously curated to highlight architecture that is pared back, refined and intentional. Every house we feature is designed with care, using a limited material palette that brings warmth and texture without unnecessary ornamentation.
