A New Space, Born from Reduction The name RED derives from reduction a gesture of subtraction and return. Through a process of reconfiguring the initial plan, the design arrived at an extreme minimal composition, stripped down to its essentials. The interior is finished with simple paint; the façade, clad in tiles. Lighting is composed of spotlights fixed to a basic track system. Chairs and mirrors were selected in response to the owner’s preferences. The architect’s intent is distilled into the layout and minimalist detailing. This space quietly dwells in the in-between neither fully complete nor unfinished. Only what is truly needed is added over time, in harmony with the owner’s evolving vision. Reduction is neither destruction nor loss. It is the act of leaving only what is essential uncovering the essence of place. RED quietly embodies that philosophy on a small corner of the city.
