Our Story

In Polish, “DOM” means home. With a passion for converting abandoned architectural gems, Polish-British interior architect Marta Nowicka created DOMstay to house her ever-growing collection of projects. Now featuring more than 30 award-winning properties designed by Marta or friends, we are on a mission to create great architecture and make the experience of good design accessible to everyone.

If you want the extraordinary, look no further. DOMstay helps discover a short stay, holiday getaway or stunning new home. In tune with the trend for designers and architects to open up their homes, our curated selection is personal and considered, meeting Marta’s rigorous architectural criteria for creating forward-thinking conversions. In other words, we are designers but we’re also here to help you find your ideal spatial experience. 

As the brand has developed, we launched the DOMjournal in 2022 to connect further with our community and showcase stories of inspiring places created by our friends. It is a place for tastemakers, influencers, and enthusiasts of good design that inspires and brings joy.

This is the DOMteam! More than just a team, in fact, we are kind of a family. United by a passion for good design, sustainable travel and unique experiences, at DOMstay we work together to bring you the very best of design from all over the world.
