Enjoy a Minimalist Vacation at This Boxy Seaside Pad

Since extreme minimalists need vacation getaways just like the rest of us, but simply cannot put up with kitschy, vaguely nautical decor, considerate, Argentina-based architect Juan Carlos Doblado constructed this all-white, pile 'o boxes right on the Pacific Coast in La Jolla, Peru. Apparently built to "bridge the gap between man and nature," the sleek, two-story structure houses all seven of its bedrooms—each with a private bathroom—on the L-shaped bottom floor, with columns of carved out window spaces in place to provide light. Upstairs there's a shockingly busy red kitchen, a few narrow lounge areas, and access to the (equally spare) terraces and an above-ground pool. Take a look, below, then head over to Design Milk for the full gallery.
