These clean renders by Rafael Reis show minimalist designs where the contents of the home blend with the surroundings, with palettes of pale neutrals only giving way to a few select accessories. The CGI layouts show wide open plan spaces that are bathed in light by huge floor to ceiling windows, with views of the city beyond.

The furniture is kept simple and functional, and a series of concrete block walls brings a utilitarian feel to the space.

A leather recliner chair paired with footstool creates a zone in which relax with a choice from the vast book collection from the bank of extensive floating shelves.

The casually arranged personal items prevent the place from appearing over staged and instead creates a pleasant lived in look, whilst the glow from the concealed strip lighting gives the large space a feeling of warmth.

Glossy finishes add to the contemporary luxury in this sophisticated room.

Islands of comfort are created with huge rugs.

A monochrome look gives this kitchen strong lines, so the dining area and over table lighting have been kept simple to prevent the two areas from clashing.
