Casa Nido by Sigfrido Serra: a place to feel protected among art, architecture and nature

Starting from a house from the 80s, with garden, pool and a glazed porch built in brick and wood, Sigfrido Serra and Som Estudio develop a program with a character of its own that achieves a contemporary version of this house, with noble materials and a carefully curated selection of furniture and artworks. Each space receives specific treatment —in color, scale, and choice of pieces— with a coherent design that defines a single style for the whole project. This is the interior designers’ greatest achievement, in an intervention full of such diverse forms and colors.

A living room for togetherness

The high ceilings of this glazed, light-flooded living room deprive it of intimacy, but the sofas and armchair are there to close the circle of conversation and take the lead in a space for togetherness that is young, festive and colorful, with several artworks and a fireplace with character taking part in the gatherings that have the garden as their backdrop.

In the dining room, a shift in chromatic temperature

To enjoy good food and good design, the dining room offers the right setting, with a shift in chromatic temperature. A large-diameter conical lamp in ochre yellow stands witness to long after-dinner conversations. The table, with a sculptural base, and the compact white chairs share space with a wave-shaped piece that introduces material contrast into the ensemble. The mustard rug connects with the stacked ceramics on the table, providing the sophisticated foundation for a space that looks out boldly onto the garden windows and flirts with those red lips stationed at the far end of the pool.

The porch: the most festive space in the house

The glazed porch has an architecture that already justifies it: sloped wooden roof with skylights, exposed brick walls, glazed flooring that reflects light from below. The interior designers reinforce its prominence by giving it color, and not just any color. A grey modular sofa in crochet texture, a low table with red legs, a yellow chair with rounded forms, cylindrical blue tables with small lamps. These are pieces that in another context might feel excessive; here they work, held in check by the materiality of the architecture. The large vases lacquered in intense red add a scale that completes the ensemble and turns the space into the most festive one in the house.

Touches of color on a neutral background in the kitchen

In the kitchen, discretion has been chosen. The plain white cabinetry, the grey granite countertop and the stainless steel hood build an uncompromising neutral background. Color arrives, inevitably, in small pieces: the translucent amber stools, the orange and red kitchen accessories. The wooden windows frame the garden on both sides, and that is worth more than any additional design intervention.

In the bedroom, sophistication becomes calm

The main bedroom takes a different path. Here the palette narrows to linen, cream and walnut. The headboard, upholstered in beige microsuede and spanning the full width of the bed, and the discreet walnut nightstands, everything invites calm. The lamps —folded-paper sculptures on a brass tripod— are the only element that introduces visual tension into a space built for rest.

Above the bed, two abstract paintings in burgundy introduce a note of color and give the space an essential density. The arched mirrors and the white linen curtains at the back finish building an atmosphere that needs nothing more.

Noble materials and timeless elegance

What gives the project its consistency, beyond the design decisions made for each space, is the choice of materials. Wood appears in the flooring, the joinery and the structure of the porch, and this continuity creates a warm undertone present throughout the house. Natural stone, glass and textiles —linen, suede, stoneware— introduce nuances without breaking the overall tone.

This is a house that has chosen well, beyond styles, and that shows in the permanence of its pieces: the Togo, the fireplace, the wood flooring in almost every room. Materials and furniture with character and a trajectory of their own that do not depend on the moment to keep working. Casa Nido will be lived in the same way twenty years from now; it will still be vibrant, offering a space to enjoy the small rituals of everyday life.
