Less, by Design is a series where architects reflect on their work and the role of simplicity in design. In each short episode, an architect or designer shares what simplicity means to them, which materials matter, how light moves, and how spaces support daily life. Told without a host or conversation, these episodes play like small architectural essays, with built environment practitioners examining contemporary residential architecture. Created by Simple Dwelling.
