Abstract

The research paper aims to study the architectural principles followed and adopted in minimalistic architecture. The study

concept of culture. This paper also discusses the planning and design concepts involved in the vernacular houses of

minimalism with their Simplicity-Bareness-Cleanliness. The methodology adopted was a primary survey, documentation, and
semi-structured interviews of vernacular houses of Gulledgudda. It also emphasized open spaces, natural light, and a sense
of functionality while reducing unnecessary elements to create a serene and uncluttered environment.The result are simple
geometrical forms with functional spaces which are pure white in colour , which generates a sense of emptiness and
serenity.
