A Neo-Gothic Valencia apartment blends Mediterranean calm with Colombian warmth
A historic Neo-Gothic apartment in Valencia’s Russafa district has been transformed into a cultural meeting point. Named Casa Punto, the renovation blends Mediterranean calm with Colombian vibrancy, reflecting the lifestyle of its young, mixed-heritage owners. Interior architect Sigfrido Serra led the project, aiming to merge art, design, and everyday living into one seamless space.
The building itself dates back to the early 1900s, designed by architect José Manuel Cortina Pérez between 1901 and 1909. Though restored in the 2010s under the oversight of Ana Botella—then Mayor of Madrid—the structure remains a striking example of Neo-Gothic architecture.
Serra’s design approach focused on harmony between craftsmanship and contemporary living. Neutral tones dominate the space, punctuated by bold accents that echo the family’s European and Colombian roots. The living room features a woven willow wall hanging by Raúl del Chano, a sofa and armchair custom-designed by Serra, and cushions from Santa Living. A coffee table from Arenaa Home, the La Santa María chair by Malva Studio, and a Domino rug by Casahari complete the curated selection.
The name Casa Punto—meaning ‘pause’ or ‘meeting point’—captures the essence of the project. Here, Mediterranean serenity and Latin American energy coexist, creating an organic, calming interior that feels both timeless and alive.
The renovation of Casa Punto stands as a thoughtful fusion of history and modern living. By combining carefully chosen design pieces with functional spaces, the apartment now serves as a physical reflection of its owners’ blended heritage. The result is a home that balances tranquillity with warmth, craftsmanship with contemporary style.
