Les Niveaux is a small, newly built hamlet with an exquisitely Walser flavor in Courmayeur, Aosta Valley. We had the pleasure of intervening in the interior design of a chalet owned by a young couple. The house is on three levels, the semi-basement floor houses a large cinema room with bar corner, here a gym area with sauna has also been created; a staircase leads to the immediately upper floor where, in large living room are articulated the kitchen with dining area and reading area with stone fireplace; continuing along the staircase is the sleeping area, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The house is warm and welcoming and speaks a taste that dialogues between contemporary and mountainous. Wood is the protagonist, but without overdoing it, covering some walls while leaving freshness to other corners that are instead treated in lime. The furniture was designed and studied specifically to make the most of the space, connote the rooms and integrate into the space by dialoguing with the parquet floor, creating an enveloping material and color continuity. Light plays an important role in the home, deliberately discreet, apt to create corners, areas illuminated and emphasized by adjustable spotlights and integrated LEDs, which light up and give life to the rooms. The tones are natural, warm, with contrasting black accents that make the chalet contemporary. The bathrooms are clad in Luserna stone casing, masterfully treated and carved by local craftsmen. A home that beautifully reflects the combination of intent and taste of the clients and Nomade!

A conservation project in one of the most beautiful and lively areas of the city, inside a building designed by the architect Caccia Dominioni. The project marks our third collaboration with the client, Jacopo Canclini of JMC spa, real estate developer and interior designer enthusiast, who has chosen to entrust us with the renovation of his future home. Not being able to intervene on the layout, nor on the floors, the greatest effort was to manage the complete renovation of the systems and the renovation of the bathrooms, impacting as little as possible on the existing one, maintaining and restoring the wooden floors and the original doors. The apartment opens onto a large entrance around which the master suite, the living area and the service area are distributed. From the entrance you then enter the long corridor onto which two other bedrooms and the children’s bathroom overlook. The eclectic style of the project comes from the synergy with the customer, with whom we collaborated closely in the different phases of the construction site, defining all the choices together, from plant solutions to finishes, from custom-made furnishings to textiles.

There is a legend that advises against designing a friend’s house. Well, we’ve never been happier to debunk this myth. The house in question is owned by an Italian-Moroccan couple of great friends of Selina, the owners of Casa Amar, which deals with the import of well-made Moroccan carpets, with a particular eye to the sustainability of their production. The couple, fond of their Milanese home, decided it was time for a restyling. The layout has remained almost unchanged, but what we have particularly focused on are the lights, the finishing materials and the furnishings. Starting with the living area, enriched by a mural with deliberately bright colors and a Moroccan appeal, which seems to want to draw a sun that illuminates the room and the design of a furniture that creates a sort of booth-bookcase with respect to the entrance. The living area has been enriched with gold-colored wall lamps and the chandelier that dominates the dining table. The corridor leading to the sleeping area was deliberately poped-up with the use of wallpaper that covers part of the walls and ceiling, creating a decidedly enveloping effect with a taste of magic. The corridor opensto the master bedroom, with soft colors and delicate North African accents and the children’s room, enriched by a beautiful watercolor effect wallpaper and a large furniture in Vienna straw and wood that contains both clothes and toys. some children. A colorful and enveloping house, just like the family that lives in it!

People grow up, families are expanding and for us architects it is really a pleasure to be able to follow their evolution. Casa Lazit is the new home of a beautiful family for which we had already followed the renovation of the previous apartment (viale Abruzzi apartment). The family has expanded and needs have changed and with them the tastes and the desire to create a house with a new and fresh character. The apartment, very large of 200 square meters, was designed in an eclectic style, a basically neutral palette on the walls, which however was characterized by colorful accents given by the furnishings and accessories. The eclectic style is perfect for homes that want to grow and change without distorting themselves, gradually composing accessories and accents that renew their varied and sometimes eccentric character. The heart of the house is undoubtedly the living area, a large space overlooking a beautiful garden, consisting of the sofa area and the dining table, connected by a large white iron window overlooking the kitchen. The kitchen, with a central island, is colored in powder blue and warm white, with the central island to which an oak table is attached. The character of this environment is further emphasized by the Mipa colored terrazzo material used as a backsplash for the worktop. It was decided to leave a concrete column in the living area exposed, on this wall were placed a sideboard with a Scandinavian taste and a composition of paintings with a multicolored palette that connote the space with bright accents. The sleeping area is organized with a master bedroom containing the bedroom, a large walk-in closet and the “lei” bathroom. The tones used in the room are more traditional, with a silky wallpaper. The bathroom is played in shades of antique pink and forest green, with gold accents. In the sleeping area there is also the child’s bedroom, characterized by tropical-themed wallpaper and the “he” bathroom, in grit-effect stoneware with black and wood accents. A blue telescope-effect corridor leads to the service area of the house, with a guest bathroom, deliberately treated in an elegant and simple way, the laundry area and his study. An apartment that we really liked to design and follow, for the open plan and the great possibilities that ensued and for the great participation of the customers. A curiosity, she is Lucia, the influencer lucia_lazit!

One of those projects in which we were able to express our love for details, materials and refined solutions. Located in one of the most beautiful residential areas of Milan, the apartment has been completely renovated, both in terms of internal distribution and taste. We opted for an intervention that would enhance and dialogue with the period details of the building from the early twentieth century, through a game of references and citations that pay homage to historical figures of Italian and Milanese design. The result is an elegant and delicate project, with extremely accurate details. The apartment opens onto a small entrance illuminated by the custom-designed iron and glass door, which leads to the study and which dialogues with the coat closet covered in Nuvolette wallpaper by Fornasetti. The floor is a Venetian-style seminato by Fantini Mosaici, with a shaded design that
changes from an intense red perimeter to a warm white in the center, in line with the large glass chandelier by Vistosi. The entrance leads to the corridor that leads to the bedrooms and bathrooms, and then opens onto the large living area. In the great room the stuccos and frames meet historical protagonists of design, from the mirror by Gio Ponti hanging over the late 19th century marble fireplace, to the lamps by Sarfatti aligned with the large molded windows; all the result of careful research and selection carried out in constant dialogue with the client. The kitchen is the last room and concludes the project, the pair of iron and glass doors and the seminato floor by Fantini Mosaici return, but this time with Candoglia marble, the same as in the Milan Cathedral; the wall units by Valcucine in clear etched glass match the top and
shelves in gold Calacatta marble. The bathrooms deserve a separate chapter: the master one, connected directly to the bedroom, has floors and walls in Salvatori’s Carrara marble, in Raw and Honed finishes; the second bathroom, the children’s one, is covered in Zellige tiles by MosaicFactory, combined with the
blue grit floor. Everything in this project tells of our passion for design, for materials and their combinations, for hidden details and sudden accents, for dialogue, comparison and constant learning that our profession gives us every time.

A special project, both because it is a beautiful house and because it belongs to the sister of Selina Bertola (founder of the studio) Alice and her family. Alice is one of the two founding members of Asterisco Creative Agency, a communication agency with which Nomade has been collaborating for years when it comes to adding a touch of graphics to her projects. The Pure salad bar is the best example! The house is truly unique, a semi-detached villa on 4 levels in a residential area of ​​Turin a stone’s throw from the Po. The architecture of the house dates back to the 1920s, some truly wonderful original traces remain (the staircase, the ceiling frescoes for example), but a previous renovation had distorted many rooms. The idea was to intervene with a project that would enhance the original characteristics and intervene with a contemporary taste, which smelled of “home”. The entrance opens onto the living area. Here a passage was opened that allowed the view of the garden from the house. The passage can remain completely open or be closed, through the use of a specially designed and built iron and glass door. The living area overlooks the garden, where the living room and the dining room are located, connected by a large opening. The furniture is simple, colorful, the result of past inheritances, family pieces and design touches. On the same floor are the study, the kitchen and a guest bathroom. The sleeping area is on the first floor, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and the children’s study. The bathrooms have been completely revisited, clean, with a hint of color and some elegant accents. The attic on the top floor is a large games room, the kingdom of the 2 children. A house where you can breathe a sunny atmosphere, just like the family that lives there, a furniture that makes you feel at ease, without giving up a touch, conscious and refined between vintage and design.

Since the first ideas for a project, we can’t wait for the apartment to be built. Nothing could ever be more true, especially for this specific project. The client, a truly unique person, with his wife and three twin children, approached our studio when the Abitare In Maggiolina complex was still only on paper, with very clear ideas: he wanted a beautiful, comfortable home tailored to their family, and with a small swimming pool. The project developed over 4 years, with times that followed the events of the Abitare In construction site, but the enthusiasm both on the part of the clients and obviously of the studio, has always remained high and has led us to the desired results: a beautiful house , comfortable, with a swimming pool! The apartment is clearly divided into two areas, the living area which is accessed opens onto the living room communicating with the kitchen, which in turn open onto a terrace with a truly unique view. Kitchen and living room are characterized by an element that designs and envelops them, a bookcase, which becomes a TV wall and then becomes a kitchen, a strong geometry, lightened by the use of white in stark contrast with dark oak. The choice of the “wanded” design of the wood is dictated by the desire to highlight the geometry, emphasizing its shadows. The furnishings are elegant and comfortable and blend perfectly with the environment. The bookcase divides the living room, with the help of a portal, from the study area. From the desks it is possible to see the pool water and hear its noise, what better way to work from home? From the study you pass to the corridor that leads to the sleeping area, a corridor onto which the 4 bedrooms and bathrooms open. The corridor was emphasized and underlined by the use of color, an ultramarine blue of the ceiling and wall that plays with the white of the opposite wall. The children’s bedrooms are custom designed, the idea was applied in 3 slightly different ways, a wallpaper for each child, which is accompanied by the nuance of the details of the bookcase and desk. The master bedroom is deliberately airy and simple, connected to the walk-in closet and the master bathroom. The bathroom is covered in marble and plays on light-dark contrasts, marbles Calacatta vogue White and Armani grey. The children’s bathroom and the guest bathroom are covered with materials from Porcelanosa. A paragraph itself is deserved by the terrace of this house, large, with a splendid view and a small heated swimming pool, to be used both in summer and in winter. Particular attention was given to the design of the green, with the wise help of Fratelli Ignegnoli. The art project, followed in collaboration with Vera Canevazzi Art Consultant, saw a close collaboration between the Parisian artist Nowart (already an old acquaintance of the Nomade studio) and the client. The theme that was explored was “Van Gogh”, a colorful portrait characterizes the living room, accompanied by the Irises in the corridor (reinterpreted by the artist), ending with the wheat field in the bedroom, a fil rouge that accompanies the whole house theme. The wait for the project was worth it, we and our customers are fully satisfied!

There are homes, projects and customers that are “meant to be”, Casa EF is undoubtedly one of them, the perfect customers for the perfect home, united by the project that combines the potential of the home and the spirit of the customers. The style of Casa EF is classic, but revisited in a modern key, elements such as the ceiling frames and herringbone parquet are revisited in a contemporary key. The oval hallway was emphasized on the ground by the radial pattern of the parquet. The living room is connected to the dining area. The rhombuses on the ceiling help to visually mark the space. The contrast between black and white is underlined by the choice of furnishings and lighting bodies. The kitchen, which is connected to the dining area via two iron and glass doors designed specifically for the project, develops along the three main walls, with a clean design made elegant by the use of wood and marble. The sleeping area have the children’s bedrooms and the master bedroom. There are three bathrooms in the house. The master bedroom in polished Bardiglio marble, designed in a filing cabinet, the children’s bathroom covered in Mutina tiles, from the Mews collection, which plays with the geometries of the black claddings and elements, and the guest bathroom with three-dimensional cladding in Bianco Perla and flooring in Pietra di Polished fossena. The apartment is elegant, refined, without losing the warmth of a beautiful family home.

Milan has been changing for some years, new neighborhoods are being born, the city seems to project itself towards the future and increasingly look to foreign models. Some neighborhoods simply change, becoming new pulsating centers of Milano. This is the case of Porta Nuova, a neighborhood that rewrites the history of a piece of Milan, a modern neighborhood, of glass buildings and skyscrapers that soar into the sky. Torre Solaria is at the center of these new architecture, with its 143 meters it is the tallest residential building in Italy. Here the home project of a young professional couple came to life who wanted to completely rethink the interior and layout of the apartment, to transform it into something they could call and feel like Home. Hygge the style that was requested, this is an untranslatable word in our language, but we can explain it: Hygge is about personal well-being, sharing with loved ones and attachment to one’s home. And so a research was born, which managed to combine warmth and comfort with a modern apartment with a contemporary cut. The entrance opens onto a small corridor that leads to the living area. Here the kitchen opens onto the living area. Light is the absolute protagonist, with a truly unique view of the city. The intention, right from the start, was to create interiors with warm finishes, with a particular eye on functionality. The wood is a warm oak, with details in brass and black iron, all embellished with the Calacatta marble used in the kitchen and on the counter that connects the two areas. The furnishings were made to a design by the studio, everything is tailor-made for the home. The sleeping area has two bedrooms and two bathrooms connected to each other by a large and bright wooden walk-in closet, mirror and iron details. The master bedroom enjoys a splendid view, even here wood is the protagonist of the furnishings, studied and designed in detail. The wadded wood embellishes the head of the bed.

Cescolina² is the “older sister” of Cescolina, the first home of Selina Bertola (founder of the studio) and her family, “to the square” because in the meantime the family has doubled and from 2 it has gone to 4. This house has something magical, also linked to particular coincidences of fate that convinced Selina to pursue her dream and buy it. The house had been renovated in the late 90s by a Milanese architect who had masterfully transformed an old factory into a home where light is the real protagonist. The house is spread over 4 levels, connected by a sculptural staircase that overlooks the large inclined window. The house looks like a modern reinterpretation of the Roman Domus, which opens onto a central courtyard, in this house made of windows that look at each other. The interiors have been revised, but the plan layout has remained almost unchanged, with the exception of a few small demolitions. ‘Eclectic’ is the adjective that best describes the choices followed in the interiors, a succession of colorful environments, different from each other, as if they were small neighborhoods within a city, each characterized by its own spirit. As much as it can be generically defined Loft, this house manages to maintain separation and privacy, with a secluded and traditional sleeping area. The entrance opens onto a large room that allows the gaze to perceive the complex architecture of the house, in the background the large double-height window that floods the space with light. Here the neon sign Cescolina², crowned by a large chandelier, welcomes those who enter. On this floor are the double bedroom with its bathroom in Moroccan cement tiles with gray-green nuances and the children’s bedroom, with a bathroom directly connected. On this level there is another small guest bathroom strongly characterized by the Fornasetti Theater wallpaper. The staircase continues towards the highest part of the house, where there is the kitchen with island overlooking the courtyard and the dining room. The kitchen has clean lines, characterized by a Statuario marble, in the dining area the blue table designed specifically for the project captures the view, accompanied by a wall colored by photographs and illustrations. From this level it is possible to access the spacious terrace. Going down the stairs you reach the TV area and the study. The TV area is very colorful, characterized by a large Hermes wallpaper with an illustration by the French artist Kevin Lucbert, the sofas are the Togo by Ligne Roset, the carpet is a purchase of Selina on a trip to Morocco and the library was specially designed by her for the environment. The study, which is located on the same level, is instead characterized by a more retro flavor, lamp, furniture and decorations are family memories. On the lower floor, the descent was an excuse to create a cinema room, a truly unique setting for a Milanese.

The history of this house caught us immediately. The village of Montechiarugolo was built around the year 1000 around its castle. A small town surrounded by the Parma countryside, by the sound of cicadas and agricultural fields. The small house, overlooking the main street of the town, has belonged to the family for generations, the home of grandparents, and grandparents of grandparents. The house that has seen entire generations grow. Customers have decided to give it new life, to continue enjoying it together with the family. The house is spread over 2 floors, connected by a staircase, the living area is located on the ground floor with an entrance, a kitchen and a conversation area with a small bathroom. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms and a bathroom. The project was very conservative, where possible openings were created and some rooms were breathed in, a new bathroom was created upstairs but essentially, completely unexpectedly, it was possible to rediscover the old beams, the walls in stone and the vaults in mattioni that had been covered for centuries. The house has thus acquired a truly fascinating rural character, which more than ever brings to mind the long history lived in those walls. The materials chosen are in line with the type of project and the final effect that was wanted to be obtained, the furnishings were largely recovered and rearranged.

In the magnificent setting of Lake Como, in an extremely characteristic small town, an old hotel had been converted into apartments. The ground floor and the mezzanine floor had been designed to become a restaurant, but the project had never been realized. The original state of the premises was unfinished, without systems with very thick walls and vaults in stone and brick, all of which gave the rooms a splendid atmosphere. The clients, in love with the place and the potential enclosed in those walls, immediately asked that it be kept as much of those pre-existences as possible, however much they wanted a house full of comfort. The challenge was immediately accepted with great enthusiasm, thus creating a splendid home. The house is divided into two floors, connected by an internal staircase, on the upper floor the entrance opens onto the large kitchen which is deliberately left clean and linear, to underline the importance of the stone wall. This overlooks the living room and the master bedroom with attached bathroom that look directly onto the lake. From the kitchen you continue towards the dining room, a truly unique environment because it is enclosed between stone walls and a large vaulted brick ceiling, which surmounts the space by wrapping it. A guest bedroom with its internal bathroom concludes the first floor. The stone staircase leads to the lower floor which opens onto a play room entirely covered in stone. This in turn is connected to a TV area that allows access to the children’s room with dedicated bathroom and a second living area that overlooks the internal garden. On the lower floor there is also an additional guest bedroom with bathroom and a laundry room. Great importance was given to the existing finishes, stone and brick walls, arches and passages. The project was aimed at creating a contrast between the elements that are so strongly characterizing and a clean and minimal furniture that embellished the rooms without competing with the existing character. The bathrooms are mainly in resin and stone, with natural colors, designed to accompany the atmosphere of the house with a touch of charm.

In the magnificent setting of Lake Como, a splendid 1920s villa has been given new life, which links it to its past and projects it into the future. The clients, a truly unique family, bought the villa after seeing several properties on the lake. Although their taste is particularly contemporary and clean, they have chosen a historic property, and so this project has represented a magnificent challenge. Right from the start it was decided to play on the dualism between pre-existing liberty style of the facades and a contemporary and contrasting taste in the interiors, maintaining as a common thread the choice of materials, which would dialogue with the lake environment, so that the colors of the exterior and of the interior communicating with each other. The kitchen / dining room, communicating with the living room through a passage emphasized by a Nemo lamp, is a single room, characterized by a kitchen designed specifically for the project in Cardoso stone and smoked oak wood. The kitchen is clean, elegant and dialogues with the stone that was chosen for the floor covering. The bathroom of the living area is a small jewel, entirely covered in Ceppo di Gre, where all the elements are designed for the project. A large door in iron and wrought glass, custom-designed, leads to the staircase that develops on the 4 floors of the house. On the first floor there are the bedrooms, 3 in total. The master bedroom revolves around the splendid view of the lake, the bed and headboard, also designed to measure, separate the sleeping area from the wardrobe area. The room communicates directly with the master bathroom. In this environment, a large bathtub covered in Louis Gris marble was designed under the window that looks at the magnificent view, the play between the two marbles Gris Louis and Carrara creates a design that is clean and rich at the same time. On the same floor are the other two bedrooms, which share the bathroom completely covered in Bardiglio, the spaces are fresh and bright. The staircase leads to the top floor of the house, which culminates with the turret, which enjoys a breathtaking view of Lake Como. The turret was used for the study, a specially designed desk marks the perimeter of the room and follows the windows that illuminate it. Next to this, a cinema / relaxation room has been studied, characterized by comfortable and comfortable sofas and seats.

Soft intervention in an apartment located in a beautiful residential area of Milan. The apartment has not undergone changes in terms of layout and systems, maintaining the existing layout that worked well at the distribution level. The renovation, however, was aimed at improving and enhancing the potential of the apartment, modifying the kitchen, which has been opened to the living area and going to design most of the furnishings of the house, to create ad hoc solutions for the home. The design choices are clean and elegant. Contrast of palettes on grays warmed by oak and teak wood accents. The choice of lighting is played between designer icons lamps (Luminator, Parentesi, Lampadina by Achille Castiglioni) and contemporary objects.

Located in the heart of the prominent residential area of Milan, City Life, the apartment is a little gem. Forty square meters exploited to the fullest and twenty square meters of terrace. Home of a young and enterprising professional, who has chosen to live in the new Milanese heart, in a dining table and kitchen by Ernesto Meda, all optimized and designed for everyday use and for dinners with friends thanks to the extendable table. The terrace becomes an integral part of the living area, and the view of City Life becomes a painting.

The apartment is spread over two levels, each with an area of about 200 square meters, connected by an internal staircase. The rooms are large and sophisticated, great importance has been given to the color palette, to the finish of the finishes and to the choice of lights. All the furnishings of the house have been designed and tailor-made for the project.

The apartment is the result of the conversion of an industrial building, the loft par excellence, in one of the most fashionable areas of the moment, Shoreditch. The desire from the beginning was to create a home that let the flavor of the story that had been lived within those walls. An industrial flavor that does not conceal the past, indeed it kept it alive. The living area occupies the lower part of the loft, with a kitchen, dining area and large double height living room, on which overlooks the sleeping area located on the mezzanine. The colors and the materials are of a warm palette, enveloping. A mix between industrial and residential, where the raw wax iron and the large windows play an important role as a binder between the past and the future of the property. The bathrooms have a retro feel, with cement tiles that characterize the environment connoting a taste that ties in perfectly with the rest of the house. The owners, a young Italian couple, brought with them memories of their trips, Sundays spent in vintage markets such as Portobello Road, so that the house becomes also a kind of travelogue, where every corner, every detail speaks of their history. The basement of the house has been converted into a tavern for the parties, with a kitchen and a large dining table, built to host the whole family from Italy for special occasions! The TV area is surrounded by a large sofa, perfect for relaxed Sundays with friends!

Located in a nice residential area in Milan, the apartment is part of an elegant and well designed 1920’s complex. The project was focused on the specific needs and requirements of the clients, a nice family made of 6 people (father, mother and 4 kids from 0 to 7 years old). The intention was to open up the space, visually connecting the rooms by creating a game of sights that could whisper but not reveal the interiors. The living room and Kitchen are visually connected and enriched by two full height custom made glazed doors. These are thought to become discrete decorating panels while opened, or elegant doors when closed. The living room is fully embraced by the natural light that comes from the windows facing the park in front of the house. The atmosphere is elegant and relaxing, an important role is played by the lights that become sculptures on the ceiling. The Tv is hidden behind a painting that moves up or down when needed. The kitchen is fully designed and custom made, the central island is a block of Calacatta Marble, the chandeliers once again give an interesting character to the space, by creating a twist between classic and design. The girls bedroom is a precious gem, a sort of doll house for the baby girls and their toys. A Romantic bow window is enriched by a comfortable sofa, where little tea pots and cups become lights. The guest bathroom is decorated with dark grey resin and Calcatta Vagli marble in the full height shower and sink. The contrast between the dark color and the golden veins of the marble creates a unexpected and pleasant atmosphere. The main bathroom, connected to the bedroom, is luminous and elegant, the white Calacatta marble illuminates the space, a touch of romance permeates the space.

A renovation in an apartment in the heart of Navigli in Milan. We wanted to play with the original peculiarities of the apartment, like the original beams in the ceiling , covered until now, or the original fixtures , in contrast with a number of design strongest choices. The kitchen is enclosed in a box of iron and glass , communicating and open, but at the same time it is a room itself. The atmosphere is warm and captivating, with a special eye to design!

Brand new construction, the idea to create a “nest” perfectly integrated with the surrounding nature. The architecture wants to be a blend of Creole architecture (with its patios, pitched roofs, shingles) and the typical Italian taste of the clients. Inside and Outside want to be unique: the large windows allow to forget that there is a limit between the vegetation and the environments of the house. The House wants to breathe and integrate seamlessly with the environment.
