El Departamento brings hollywood TO madrid with nude house
At 28 Fuencarral Street, in the center of Madrid, El Departamento completes the latest flagship store for fashion brand Nude Project named Nude House. Designed by studio founders Alberto Eltini and Marina Martín, the 195-square-meter space channels the glamorous spirit of vintage Hollywood mansions, fusing laid-back hedonism with urban energy. With nearly four meters of ceiling height and a fluid, barrier-free layout, the flagship operates more like an open house than a conventional store.
With other locations already established in Barcelona, Lisbon, Valencia, Ibiza, Bilbao, and Milan, the Madrid store cements El Departamento and Nude Project’s shared vision of a network of immersive spaces.

music and game rooms deepen the space’s intimacy
Stepping inside the Valencia-based El Departamento team’s flagship store design, a circular counter in wood and steel, illuminated with the backlit logo of the ready-to-wear label Nude Project, greets the visitors. The entrance space doubles as a lounge, outfitted with low sofas and a curved library shelf stocked with books and branded memorabilia. A soft terrazzo floor in white and green tones underlines the vintage mood, while technical lighting by Ilumisa draws attention to the streetwear collections of the brand.
As the journey continues, a hallway inspired by retro Hall of Fame designs leads to the music room, a cozy space wrapped in dark wood. Floor-to-ceiling shelves host curated vinyls, while sculptural Aurefect speakers and green leather armchairs rest atop a vintage Persian rug from Home Carpets. A velvet ceiling in emerald green sets the atmosphere, and a glowing Tekio lamp by Santa & Cole casts a warm, domestic light that reinforces the store’s residential feel.
The final stop is the game room, where a poker table doubles as a product display, surrounded by softly curved wood shelving and the brand’s signature baby blue flooring. Stainless steel details and a backlit coffered ceiling create cinematic reflections, turning the space into a stage for expression, self-discovery, and community.
