A home that adapts to your new life chapter.

"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."

"I was impressed with the way that Marta instantly connected with the vibe of the house as soon as she entered. We needed advice on kitchen redesign. Before the consultation, we simply thought the issue was making more efficient use of our small space. Marta opened up the possibilities of integrating the kitchen with the overall flow of the house, not only making better use of the space but also creating a sense of continuity. Highly recommended!"

— Mary Gomes, Berkeley

"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."

"Dr. Marta is warm, lively, and knowledgeable. Her expertise and philosophical approach comes through in her suggestions. She helped our home feel more put together, relaxing, and fit our vision. Totally recommend her services!"

— Gisela Garcia, Oakland

"Marta Rodriguez's expertise of maximizing small spaces is without compare. She understood our project, she was genuine — but more than anything, she brought a passion that not a single other architect had. At one point I said 'Is she moving in with us?' She thinks different."

— Jay Marroquin, Homeowner, Photographer

"Even as a carpenter with my own solutions, I appreciate how Marta thinks differently. She sees all angles and brings a creativity that surprised me. From the folding door that almost magically transformed a one-bedroom into two, to the organic stairs in the little cottage, her Japanese-influenced approach feels perfectly in tune with the spirit of the Bay Area."

— Jan Sturmann, Carpenter, Berkeley
