A Modern Minimalist Home For Young Couple With Love by Radical Passive

What set them apart from the cold and uncompromising architecture of their time was the search for materials and techniques that help create a more human space.

With love to Alvar and Aino is a modern minimalist home located in Minsk, Belarus, designed in 2021 by Radical Passive. This apartment in a new suburb of Minsk was designed for a young couple who wanted to create a living space filled with light and warmth.

For inspiration, we turned to the works of two Finnish architects: Alvar and Aino Aalto. What set them apart from the cold and uncompromising architecture of their time was the search for materials and techniques that help create a more human space.

The furniture is simple in form, the materials are oak veneer in accent pieces, white MDF, and neutral colored textiles elsewhere, with fittings made of stainless steel. The white color of the walls expands the space, filling it with air. Combined with the oak veneer and the afternoon sun, it also brings warmth.
