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.

The home belongs to a young family with European and Colombian roots. From the outset, the idea was to translate into this monumental architecture a way of living that is more open, sensitive and multicultural: a natural coexistence between Mediterranean serenity and Latin American vitality. Casa Punto inhabits the place with softness, bringing light, organic gestures and a more intimate way of understanding space.

Rounding the story

Sigfrido’s first gesture was to introduce curves where angles once prevailed. Softening junctions, rounding columns, allowing the walls to be accompanied with delicacy. The result is an interior architecture that decompresses and humanizes the original building, making it domestic. The curves generate a fluid, almost musical rhythm that transforms the experience of the place: it now feels like a gentle space where the body moves naturally.

Within this organic continuity, light plays a decisive role. Filtered through light linens, it slides over whitewashed surfaces, caresses the wood and reveals the texture of the materials with a cadence that shifts throughout the day. At dawn, the golden light softens the echoes of the past; at midday it becomes precise; by dusk it wraps every corner with a warmth that makes one forget the severity this building once held.

Latin American energy with a Mediterranean accent

The herringbone wood floor, framed by a smooth perimeter, acts as a continuous base throughout the home. It is a floor that speaks of domesticity, that accompanies movement and adds a human counterpoint. Upon it, a palette of cream, beige and brown evokes Mediterranean landscapes, shaping a serene, honest and almost tactile atmosphere. The chosen materials —linen, cotton, handcrafted ceramics, noble woods— seek to move through stillness. In this context, the original architecture becomes a quiet backdrop upon which the new elements find their place with composure.

Colour appears as a subtle pulse. Amid the neutrality of warm tones, terracotta, ochre or green accents emerge with delicacy. These are not decorative whims: they are emotional echoes of the family’s Colombian heritage. The intention is not a literal translation, but a chromatic heartbeat, a way of intertwining the home with Mediterranean energy. This cultural coexistence takes shape as a balanced duality: Valencian calm and Latin American intensity meet here at an exact point, without one overpowering the other.

The kitchen: sculptural heart

At the centre of the home stands a terracotta kitchen, undoubtedly the project’s boldest gesture: a sculptural piece radiating warmth and vitality. Its fluted fronts, veined marble and carefully studied proportions create a precise, emotional and deeply contemporary ensemble. This space becomes a true protagonist in family life. The kitchen is not a passageway: it is a place with presence, an architecture that is felt.

For the furnishings, Sigfrido selected contemporary pieces, personalized objects and artisanal touches that converse with the spaces. There is no excess, only intention. Each element seems to have found its place naturally. The home is not “finished”: it remains open, awaiting the life that will unfold across it over the years.

Light as narrative

As in any mature work, light is not here to “illuminate” but to reveal —and Sigfrido knows this well. Light becomes another material, perhaps the most important one, because it defines moods, softens the history of the place and writes an emotional narrative that accompanies those who inhabit it.

Casa Punto offers a new reading of a historic building: more intimate and serene, closer to everyday life. Sigfrido Serra’s intervention demonstrates an exceptional maturity in transforming a neo-Gothic structure of strong character into a domestic landscape where architecture becomes emotion, and history ceases to weigh and instead becomes context. Balancing serenity and energy, geometry and curve, Mediterranean heritage and Colombian heartbeat, Casa Punto offers a discreet yet luminous lesson: true luxury lies in the way a space allows us to inhabit it with ease.

Sigfrido Serra

Sigfrido Serra is an interior designer renowned for his ability to fuse functionality with an innovative, sensitive aesthetic, turning each project into a unique experience. With a career marked by meticulous attention to detail and a deep passion for design, Serra has established himself as a defining figure within the contemporary interior design landscape.

An engineer in building construction and an interior designer, he holds a Degree in Technical Architecture Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Valencia. He earned a Diploma in Interior Design from the Escuela de Arte Superior de Diseño de Valencia and Hochschule Rosenheim. He also trained in the specialities of Objekt-Projekt with James Orron, Daily Soap with Rainer Haegele, Campus Store with Frank Marcus, Virtual Architecture with Ricardo Pérez and Naval Interior Design with Arturo Catalá. He completed further studies in London at the Central School of English.

From the beginning, Sigfrido has been distinguished by a vision that transcends convention: every environment he transforms tells a personal story in which tradition and innovation converge. His creative approach allows him to reinterpret everyday spaces, imbuing them with personality, dynamism and an artistic sensibility that invites reflection.

Throughout his career, he has collaborated on high-profile projects at various fairs and industry events such as Marbella Design Week 2021, Feria Hábitat, CES Las Vegas 2022 and ADN Forum 2023. His work at Casa Decor —editions 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025— has been especially notable. In the 2025 edition, his collaboration with the Valencian brand The Masie materialised in La Sala, a living-dining room space that embodies his design philosophy: environments that speak for themselves through the careful interplay of forms, colours and textures. He has been selected by AD magazine as one of the best interior designers on the Spanish scene for two consecutive years.

Serra’s commitment to innovation and his constant pursuit of excellence are evident in each of his works. His ability to transform spaces into true sensory and emotional experiences has earned him the recognition of clients and peers alike, positioning him as a leading voice in contemporary interior design.

Today, Sigfrido Serra continues to explore new horizons, guided by the conviction that design has the power to transform the way we live and feel our spaces. His trajectory stands as a testament to a passion for detail and boundless creativity, inviting every observer to discover the beauty hidden in the everyday.

Sigfrido combines his architectural and interior design practice with teaching, as a professor at Barreira Arte + Diseño in the University Degree in Interior Design and the MINT Master’s programme, as well as co-director of the Master’s in Interior Design: Styling, Decoration and Trends.

One of Serra’s key decisions was to give prominence to the corridor: “We allowed it to claim the space, turning it into the heart of the home. It became the unifying axis that embraces and serves the entire apartment—a curved feature that connects every room. It welcomes you at the entrance and guides you through the entire project, with color palettes that create moods and emotions reflecting the identity and personal style of its owners,” explains Serra. The result is a home with a cohesive and organic atmosphere, where every area engages in dialogue and offers high functionality.

The use of natural wood flooring throughout the home enhances its warmth. The selected flooring is the Classic Herringbone Natural model by L’Antic Colonial, part of the Porcelanosa Group.

In the living room, the Itineraire sofa by Philippe Bouix for Roche Bobois stands out, as well as the Original Classicshelving system by Tylko, which extends along the corridor and plays a major role in the space. Other key pieces include a painting by Eduardo Chillida from the Marita Segovia Gallery, a colorful rug from The Rug Company, coffee tables from The Masie, and a lilac Murano glass vase by Judith San Quintín.

Kitchen and dining area. The open-plan white kitchen with island and dining area features the Vili chairs from The Masie, with metal frames and natural rattan seats and backs, as well as the Cosmos pendant light by Lievore Altherr Molina for Vibia. Sculptural and artistic highlights include a piece by Miquel Navarro and a painting by Luis Feito, both from the Benlliure Gallery.In the corridor, the Original Classic shelving system from Tylko continues and is accompanied by another sculpture by Miquel Navarro from the same gallery.

Serra chose to design the main bedroom as an open suite connected to the bathroom. Wall coverings, cornices, and headboard by Orac Decor, the Streiko Bed & Tu Bundle, and a rug from The Rug Company define the space. The centerpiece is the freestanding Aro bathtub designed by estudi(H)ac for Porcelanosa, paired with Round taps by Norman Foster, also for Porcelanosa, and a striking painting by Manolo Valdés.

The children’s bedroom is a playful and original space featuring a custom-built cabin and slide beside the bed—an attractive and fun environment designed for the family’s daughter by a local carpenter. The room is completed with the Nuances rug by Gan, designed by Patricia Urquiola.
