Reimagined Home — Dr. Marta

I'm Marta — a home design advisor with a PhD in Architecture and 25 years of experience across Europe, Japan, and the US, working at the crossroads of space and neuroscience.

I've developed something like a sixth sense: the ability to listen to a home the way I listen to the people living in it.

A home shapes our relationships, our routines, and our mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing — whether we notice it or not.

When life changes, the home often stays behind.

What people don't see

The house may look fine. But it no longer fits the way you live.

Rooms have a function, but not the one your family needs now
Daily routines create friction because the layout hasn't caught up
Some spaces are overcrowded, while others are barely used
Storage exists, but doesn't support how you actually live
Your family has changed, but the home is still organized around an earlier chapter
You know something needs to change, but you don't want months of construction

What I do

Reimagine What You Have

Together, we decide what stays, what moves, what goes, and what can work differently — so every space has a clear purpose and your daily routines flow more naturally.

That could mean turning a room nobody uses into a space that's finally yours. Removing a door that creates friction and disconnection. Bringing color back into a space. Rethinking how furniture is placed so the home works better for the way you live now.

Reimagine Home

When your home needs more than rethinking what is already there, I help define what should be added and select the pieces that support the way you want to live.

That could mean finding the right furniture for a new family rhythm, choosing lighting, rugs, window treatments or art, and bringing old and new pieces together so the home feels coherent, calm and yours.

A different kind of transformation

We invest in nutrition, exercise, and meditation — and often forget how much our home affects our health and relationships.

Real change. Without a major renovation.

You don't need to knock down walls to transform how a home feels and functions.

A clear plan, thoughtful changes, and the right use of what you already have can make a real difference — in weeks, not months.

How it works

Understand. Rethink. Transform.

Step 1

Understand your life + home

We look at how you live now, what has changed, and what is no longer working

Step 2

Rethink your home

We decide what stays, what moves, what goes, and what we add

Step 3

Transform the space

We turn the plan into a home that works for your life now and can keep adapting as your life changes

Step 4

A brief meeting to confirm how the space is working in real life.

"Dr. Marta helped me re-envision the use of my home's quirky compact footprint to give it a more calm and airy feel that has really improved the way we live in my home. She worked with me to identify and amplify the things I loved about it, while giving me concrete, workable ways to improve it. Best of all, she developed and implemented a plan to move my toddler out of my room and into my older child's bedroom without crowding anyone! The room actually feels more spacious and easier to keep organized. The joy I feel when I walk in the door is priceless."

— Lisa Newstrom, Fremont CA

"Marta transformed my home in a single design visit! She found a simple, elegant, and affordable way to turn my unfinished basement into a home office and guest room, and gave me practical ideas for every other space, from my toddler's room to the living room and bedrooms. After that visit, I realized Marta is really a space coach. I decided to treat myself and continue working with her over the next few months."

— Isabel Carreras Baquer, Berkeley

"Marta prepared our tiny home for the arrival of our first daughter, and now we are enjoying it with our second. We often call her just to say thank you. The sense of order and the way light moves through the space bring me a deep feeling of tranquility — and that calm is something my daughters experience too. I truly believe this environment supports their development."
