The Nest House: A Memphis – Constructivist home design

The colorful dining room of the Nest House, designed with Memphis influences.
We really went nuts with this Memphis-style-inspired design. This rendered image shows the colorful dining room of the Nest House.

Back in 2018 when we were just starting this studio, we entered this competition called the “Blitz Contest – Small House, Nest House”. Held annually by the Romanian Architects Order, this contest is open to any house proposals, as long as they are under 100 sqm.

We aimed to create a very serene exterior design so that anyone would be really surprised to find the colorful interior we designed in a mix of Memphis and Constructivist styles.

Here’s another colorful, pink project we worked on with Karim Rashid back in 2018.

Monica Safta

FOUNDER/CREATIVE DIRECTOR
architect & 3D artist - Bucharest/Brasov, Romania
A few years of working in several architectural practices in Europe made it clear to me that I need to find a way of speaking my mind and enabling my ideas. Evoke my thoughts in a pure way, with no intermediary between mind and hand.

That was the flame that ultimately materialized into our studio, and we keep it true to ourselves.
Razvan Socol, founder at OVERLAP

Razvan Socol

FOUNDER/CEO
architect, 3D artist, brand strategist & digital marketer.
I'm a 30 years young architect, former digital marketer and graphic designer. Born and raised in Brașov, Romania.

I always strive to capture a glimpse of demiurgical essence within my work. After all, God is a Designer.

I dare to say that I'm self-taught, since traditional education isn't ever enough. I like to get out of my comfort zone and learn, adapt, overcome.

Challenge(s) accepted.
Laura Voinescu, architect at Overlap.

ART DIRECTOR
architect, video/photo grapher & editor - Copenhagen
Living in Copenhagen allowed me to explore this city, learn its intimacies and, on top of that, I use photography as a tool to study human nature.

These circumstances changed the way I approach architecture, seeing the impact it has on human behaviour and psyche.

In one way or the other, I focus on solving social problems when designing pretty much anything.
