El Dorado Hills is home to some of Northern California’s most extraordinary residences — from the custom estates of Serrano to the Mediterranean-inspired homes along the golf course. These homes deserve design that matches the quality of their construction and the aspirations of the families who live in them.
Marta Cecilia Rodriguez has spent nearly thirty years designing luxury residences across six continents. She brings that global perspective to every project in El Dorado Hills — sourcing materials from artisan workshops around the world, drawing on design traditions that span cultures, and creating homes that feel collected, personal, and timeless.
Interior Design Services in El Dorado Hills
Whether you are renovating a custom home in Serrano, updating an estate in the EDH hills, or building new construction that reflects your family’s identity, Marta Cecilia provides full-service interior design from concept through construction administration.
Whole-Home Redesign
A complete transformation of how your home functions, flows, and feels. Marta’s five-phase design process — from Pre-Design through Contract Administration — ensures that every detail is considered and every decision serves your vision. For El Dorado Hills homes in the $1.5M to $3M+ range, whole-home redesigns typically invest $200,000 to $500,000.
Kitchen and Great Room Design
In El Dorado Hills’ open floor plans, the kitchen and great room function as one connected space where families gather, entertain, and live. Marta designs these spaces not around appliances and countertops but around the choreography of your daily life — how your family moves, gathers, and connects.
Indoor-Outdoor Living
Sacramento’s foothills climate invites outdoor living eight months of the year, and El Dorado Hills homes sit on generous lots with views that deserve to be honored. Marta designs the transition between indoor and outdoor spaces as a seamless experience — continuity of materials, shade as architecture, and outdoor furniture with the same intention as the living room.
Primary Suite Design
The most personal room in your home deserves the most personal design. Marta approaches the primary suite as a retreat — addressing sound, light control, tactile comfort, and the daily rituals of rest and renewal that this space supports.
Construction Administration
In partnership with architect Jorge Estebanez, Marta provides complete architectural and design oversight during construction. She visits the job site regularly to protect the design intent — catching the details that separate a home that feels carefully designed from one that merely looks expensive.
Why El Dorado Hills Homeowners Choose Marta Cecilia
Global sourcing, local presence. Materials sourced from artisan workshops in Colombia, Poland, Italy, and Morocco — placed in homes designed specifically for the El Dorado Hills lifestyle and climate.
The Cultural Layering Method. Marta’s proprietary design approach builds homes from materials and objects that carry meaning, history, and craft. The result is a home that feels collected over a lifetime, not assembled from a catalog.
