BARMINA Design

She is an incredible creative lady. She is also very honest and reasonable. She completed my 7,500-square-foot house in Los Altos Hills with phenomenal quality in design, construction, and furnishings. I will hire her again and again. I would like her to build me a new house in Malibu after the LA fire destroyed my home!

Masha Barmina is very knowledgeable,polite, and intelligent!. I would recommend any one of my family and friends to . Amazing work, very professional and great customer service and energy! Masha and our contractor had a great relationship which made for a great managed project. We highly recommend Barmina design studio.

I have worked with Barmina Studio on a number of creative projects ranging from a new spec home construction, my own house modifications and additions, commercial multi-story, commercial re-design, etc. Masha is a rare professional that combines impeccable architectural style, practicality, responsiveness, and a technical know how. I would always offer my project to her first and would trust her without hesitation. She offers a convenience of dealing with a sole practitioner combined with an expertise of a seasoned professional who has done a great number of successful projects. I have heard only great things about her from her other customers and has seen many of her impressive and elegant buildings. Plus, she is tacful, focused and responsible, overall, a real pleasure to work with.

Working with Maria (Masha) has been a great pleasure. Both Margaret and I are sorely lacking in design skills, but we knew the overall feeling and ambiance we wanted to create. Masha guided us through the whole remodel project from design to implementation to finish, helping us create the house we always wanted. The proof is in the pudding: a few weeks ago we had friends over for the first time after the remodel, and they told us, completely unprompted, "It's so comfortable, warm, and inviting in here now," which was exactly what we were going for! Bullseye. Her ideas and creativity were outstanding, and her guidance through the overwhelming design choices was absolutely invaluable. We would definitely recommend her to anyone, and if we ever do any projects again, she'll be the first call we make.

Masha recently worked on bedroom/bathroom remodel of our home. This was 3rd peoject she helped us on and we are thrilled with the results. Our house is very unusual in the way that most walls are curved and our bedroom and bathroom area had many dividing half walls breaking the space up. We wanted to open it up and create an open room, but still have visual divisions for the spaces with different purposes. Masha understood what we were after and offered us multiple solutions. She worked through our comments until we were happy with the layout. Working with her was pleasant and fun experience and I can’t wait for us to work on other areas of our house together!
