Designed in 2026, the module facilities on a tree, bringing its sleeping space and toilet towards a framed inside void whereas broad glazing opens the inside to the lake. Arches, sinuous geometries, and a vivid palette give the compact structure a distinctly Mediterranean character.
About Nomadaria
At Laghi Nabi, a regenerated pure space on the Litorale Domizio in Campania, Nomadaria recasts the prefab module as a compact lakeside dwelling. Officine Tamborrino develops it by HouseTree, a system devised by architect Paolo Scoglio and reinterpreted right here by Elena Salmistraro. The structure pairs this spatial premise with arches, sinuous varieties, and a vivid shade remedy.
An Open Middle
The module takes its spatial cue from the tree round which it’s constructed. The sleeping space and toilet face a central void that frames the trunk, bringing these rooms into direct relation with the location. Giant glazed surfaces prolong the connection outward, erasing the space between enclosure and surrounding panorama. A non-public patio on the water’s edge affords a spot for nearer contact with the lake, balancing intimacy and the open panorama.
A Southern Palette Throughout the Module
Kerakoll’s Coloration Assortment spans the inside and exterior: Decor coats the partitions, Absolute the ceiling, and Out of doors Plaster provides the outer partitions blue, pink, and white tones. The bottom and roof use burgundy Microresina. The palette remembers sun-faded facades and the fabric character of ceramics, references related right here with the lands of southern Italy. Used throughout the enclosure reasonably than confined to ornament, shade provides the module a visible identification and connects its inside and exterior.
A Mediterranean Formal Vocabulary
The venture makes use of arches, rhythmic geometries, and sinuous contours to provide the quantity a lightweight, softened profile. The Mediterranean reference is seen within the varieties themselves, which reinterpret acquainted regional indicators reasonably than treating them as utilized ornament. They sit alongside the glazing and the water-facing patio, so the module’s identification comes from each its define and its direct contact with the location.
Craft on the Smaller Scale
Chosen items carry the identical mixture of curve, weave, and saturated shade into the inside. Bottega Intreccio provides two pendant lights: Seia 35, constituted of interlocking woven modules, and Antonym, which pairs weaving with embroidery. Bolzan’s Tata mattress introduces curved traces to the sleeping space, whereas Scapin Collezioni’s Anodo tables deliver a spherical, pedestal-based kind. Within the rest room, Salmistraro selects Flaminia’s Falala basins in Uva and matching App goclean wall-hung sanitaryware, and matte-black Hoop equipment. Tiles and ground finishes within the rest room and sleeping space come from Galleria delle Idee in Ostuni.
