Studio Lemon’s ‘El nido’: a contemporary refuge that celebrates materiality, light and wellbeing

With the title The Nest, the space designed by Marta Miñarro of Studio Lemon in her first appearance at Casa Decor presents itself as a contemporary refuge that celebrates materiality, light, and well-being. The name is not coincidental: it is an introspective and enveloping proposal that invites you to slow down and reconnect with nature.

The architecture of the space is organized around curves, earthy tones, and a material palette that exudes warmth. One of the most striking elements is the clay tiles from Ecoclay, which cover part of the space and serve not only as an aesthetic envelope but also as a hygrothermal regulator, providing comfort and sustainability.

The prominence of the ceramic coverings from Nais —with an organic design and a subtly eroded texture— reinforces that feeling of having returned to an intimate, almost primitive place, where materials tell stories of origin and care.

Light, treated with special care, becomes a thread that weaves the atmosphere. Enter Sedanía Studio, the textile design studio of artist Begoña Ordás, who has created the luminaires for the space: sculptural pieces handmade from felt that seem to float, soft and silent, providing a dim and meditative light. Their irregular shapes, colors, and textures enhance the artisanal character of the whole.

An architecture that cares

The Nest is, in essence, a declaration of principles: Marta Miñarro speaks to us of an architecture that does not shout, that does not seek to impress, but to welcome. An architecture of care, of intimacy, that engages with the body and the senses. Casa Decor 2025 thus becomes the perfect showcase for a creator who, from the south, is carving out her own, intimate, and coherent path.

Marta Miñarro, an architect of the essential

From Murcia, architect Marta Miñarro Martínez has skillfully built a practice that seamlessly navigates between architecture, interior design, and the creation of sensitive atmospheres. Founder of Studio Lemon, Miñarro combines the precision of architectural lines with an emotional approach to space. Her education at the University of Madrid and her sensitivity towards natural materials and Mediterranean heritage are reflected in each of her projects.

At Studio Lemon, currently in Madrid and Murcia, Marta cultivates a contained and serene aesthetic, where noble materials, filtered light, and organic textures take center stage. Her approach moves away from superficial effects to focus on what is essential: how a space feels and how it resonates with those who inhabit it.
