About
Less is not emptiness,
it’s space for what matters.
At Simple Dwelling, we believe minimalism isn’t a trend or style you decide on, minimalist design goes beyond aesthetics. We believe that quiet, thoughtful architecture is timeless, where it has the power to nurture and elevate everyday living by giving space for what matters.
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 how “less is more”.
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 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.
To us, minimalism isn’t cold, sterile, empty and soulless, rather, it allows space to focus on what truly matters most to you.
Our stories are meticulously curated to highlight architecture that is pared back, refined and intentional. Every house we feature is timeless, using a limited material palette that brings warmth and texture without unnecessary ornamentation.
