At the top of Hoxton’s oldest surviving Georgian house, Flat 5 is all volume and light. Exposed beams and high ceilings frame an open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, finished with a sleek Rotpunkt kitchen, while the bedroom and bathroom sit quietly off the main room.

The main house was built in the 1720s and the second floor added in 1842 when the family home became a courthouse, a union headquarters then the political headquarters for the Labour Party. Now it’s five apartments, restored with care and designed for modern living - a true Labour of Love ❤️

In her interview with Design Alive, DOMstay founder, Marta Nowicka, discusses what makes the experience of staying in a well-designed space truly special.

“Many people visit us for our design philosophy and methodology. They buy a barn or some other building, plan its renovation, and want to see how we resolved specific design challenges. They frequently photograph details and later ask me about technical solutions: how we connected two panes of glass, how a specific material joint is executed, or how we designed certain structural elements. These are highly practical questions.

People come to experience a space designed from start to finish as a cohesive whole. They are also interested in the broader approach to adapting existing buildings, adaptive reuse and changing a structure’s function. That is the true essence of our work.”

Did you know that Coastguards Cottage was featured in ‘Cottagecore’ by gestalten? In this beautifully curated exploration of rural homes reimagined for contemporary living, DOMstay founder, Marta Nowicka discusses what makes life by the beach incredibly unique.

“The transformation unfolded over several years, a deliberate slowness that allow the structure to dictate its own evolution. Vandalise tears became opportunities for material honesty. Expose plaster replaces wallpaper; salvaged floorboards carry the original scars; and a Medieval dining table anchors a kitchen extension that feels more like a maritime workshop than a country half. Still surfaces and rope handrails acknowledge the seas proximity without coastal cliché.“

In recent interview with the The Standard, DOMstay founder Marta Nowicka talks with Prudence Ivey about the projects and experiences that shaped her approach to architecture, from her former warehouse home in London to remodeling a Grade II* building in Charles Square and an ambulance station in Rye. But perhaps most interesting is how that approach eventually became DOMstay.

After years of converting overlooked buildings, Marta began to question the idea of leaving beautifully designed spaces empty between projects. Instead, she started renting them out filling them with books, records, plants, umbrellas and all the details that make a place feel personal.

“We want to create a home from home.”

It’s a simple idea, but one that sits at the heart of DOMstay. Spaces should feel considered and genuinely welcoming, rather than simply designed to be looked at.

Featured in a recent Open House story in the journal, Flat 3 is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment defined by light, generous proportions and the layers of history within No. 16 Charles Square.

This perfectly proportioned apartment in an early 18th-century Georgian building in Hoxton has undeniable appeal. The three interconnecting rooms retain the elegance of the original Georgian architecture, with beautifully detailed panelling, tall windows and shutters. In the kitchen, an island sits centrally within the space without interrupting the historic fabric, while the contemporary interventions throughout offer quiet contrast to what came before.
