Minarc


Minarc is a design studio founded by Ingjaldsdottir and Thorsteinsson in 1999. [1] Situated in Santa Monica, California.[2] the studio has earned acclaim for its innovative approach to architecture and design. [2]

Minarc's portfolio spans a diverse range of projects, from small-scale renovations to large-scale new constructions, catering to residential, commercial, and public sectors alike. [1] A distinctive feature of their work is the harmonious blending of indoor and outdoor spaces, facilitated by the strategic utilization of natural light, the integration of outdoor living areas, and the framing of picturesque views of nature. [2]

A testament to their commitment to sustainability, Minarc incorporates a variety of environmentally conscious materials in their designs. This includes the use of reclaimed wood, recycled glass, rubber tires, and cement panels, as well as other sustainable materials. Furthermore, the studio opts for natural cross-ventilation methods as opposed to conventional air conditioning systems. This innovative approach not only reduces energy consumption but also highlights Minarc's dedication to creating eco-friendly and aesthetically pleasing spaces.[1]
