A demanding interior design

The interior designers of this home, located in a popular residential area on the outskirts of Madrid, faced a double challenge: on the one hand, they had to connect and give structural coherence to two independent semi-detached houses, transforming them into a single large family house with fewer but more spacious rooms; on the other hand, they had to bring new life to the interior appearance of the construction, creating an urban atmosphere inspired by New York lofts, something more in keeping with the needs of the owners, a young couple with several children and international tastes.

To do so, the space was redistributed allowing for a large open-plan floor of 100 m2 with part of its ceilings at double height. The staircase leading to the basement and the first floor was placed in the centre of the new room, which houses the living room, the dining room, a work area, the kitchen, a toilet and some additional relaxing and reading areas. Made from iron, wood and glass, it acts as an almost sculptural element that visually connects the various areas and, at the same time, helps to create different atmospheres depending on its use.

An industrial yet warm look dominates the décor, combining fine wood with natural finishes, brass, velvet, exposed brick and large-format floors reminiscent of concrete with metal accents, but with better technical performance in terms of resistance. The owners wanted an ‘all-terrain’ flooring solution that could withstand a lively social life (that would not get stained by a glass of wine, for example) and the demanding use of children (scratches, knocks, etc.). The interior designers recommended a safe bet, Dekton Nilium.

Nina Magon’s new space in Houston has transformed into the exclusive meeting place for lovers of luxury and design. Located on the first floor of Texas’ leading jewellery shop, Zadok Jewelers, the designer has opted for a sophisticated interior design very much in keeping with the aesthetic of her NM Lifestyle and Pavus collections, which include custom furniture, lighting, carpets and tableware.

To do this, Magon used an eye-catching customised natural stone from Cosentino in its distinctive emerald green colour to clad parts of the walls and the background of her logo, and combined it with the dynamism of Dekton Liquid Embers.

The NM Lounge is designed not only to showcase her pieces, but also to host small private events such as VIP dinners for jewellery brands or for Zadok Jewelers’ customers to relax and enjoy their time in the shop. An elegant, almost monochromatic space in shades of green is complemented by Dekton Liquid Embers wall cladding in a beautiful magma colour with an attractive wavy texture.
