from which there are wonderful views of the tiled roofs of<br />

Marta clearly enjoys the whole process of designing, and<br />
then making, living spaces out of unloved commercial, or<br />
slightly industrial buildings. She has several other properties<br />

stylish and interesting homes. The company is called DOM,<br />
a Polish word for home, which references her Polish roots <br />
