description Objective: The article examines minimalism in architecture, from its origins to its contemporary applications, highlighting its aesthetic, functional and emotional benefits. It aims to analyze how this philosophy can contribute to sustainability and improve quality of life through simplicity and efficiency.Methodology: This was a comprehensive narrative review of scientific literature published between 2020 and 2024, in databases such as Google Scholar, Archidaily and Scielo. Specific terms related to minimalism were used and 11 relevant articles were selected after applying exclusion criteria.Results: Minimalism eliminates the superfluous to highlight the essence of spaces, creating functional and harmonious environments that encourage reflection and connection with the environment. Its applicability in diverse contexts was observed, integrating environmental, social and psychological aspects to improve well-being and sustainability.Conclusions: Minimalism promotes spaces that contribute to emotional well-being and balanced living. It is recommended that professionals and urban managers adopt this approach, considering its multidisciplinary implications to optimize the human experience and quality of life, recognizing that physical space significantly influences perception and well-being.
