Yes, minimalist architecture can incorporate elements of natural materials and textures. In fact, the use of natural materials is often preferred in minimalist design as it creates a sense of warmth, simplicity, and connection to the environment. The key is to use these elements sparingly and in a restrained manner, emphasizing clean lines and simplicity while still allowing the natural materials and textures to shine. This can be achieved through the use of materials like wood, stone, concrete, or even natural fabrics, and incorporating textures like grain patterns, rough surfaces, or organic shapes. By carefully selecting and integrating these elements, minimalist architecture can retain a sense of minimalism while offering a subtle connection to nature.
