Marta clearly enjoys the whole process of designing, and
then making, living spaces out of unloved commercial, or
slightly industrial buildings. She has several other properties
in Sussex and London, including a development of five
apartments created from the building that was once the
old Labour Party headquarters in Hoxton. She has recently
decided to stop designing for clients and focus on her own
property portfolio, letting out spaces – her own and other
stylish and interesting homes. The company is called DOM,
a Polish word for home, which references her Polish roots
