Marta Carvalho Design

We are a boutique design firm specializing in complete residential renovations. From design concepts through construction, including interior design, finishes and furniture. We believe in creating a cohesive aesthetic language throughout the houses and grounds, connecting interior to exterior spaces. How a place reveals itself as one moves through the various spaces should tell a story about the people who inhabit it and their personalities. Marta brings her global ethos to everything she does. She combines design and passion to create environments with a unique multicultural essence. From her childhood in Rio de Janeiro to mountain resort projects, to beach and golf resorts in Mexico, to high quality residential design in the San Francisco Bay Area, she brings a distinct style that fulfills clients’ needs and objectives. Marta’s background in architecture and planning informs her multi-disciplinary design approach. She conceives spaces using a holistic vision - designing interior spaces while considering the relationship to the outdoor environment. "My objective is to make each project feel special and unique, reflecting the aspirations and style of individual clients. I work with clients to develop a theme and style that suits their lives’ needs and reflects their personalities. My design development process also takes into consideration the architectural style of the building and its surroundings, while understanding the clients’ short and long-term goals."
