The handover date is set. The decisions do not all have to land with you.

Furnishing alone does not only cost furniture. It adds research time, delivery problems and expensive wrong turns.

From short-term letting to a predictable rental product.

Since July 2024, Vienna’s building code regulates short-term tourist letting citywide. Beyond 90 days per year, an exemption from MA 37 is required; in designated residential zones it is heavily restricted in practice.

Not legal advice. Please check your case with MA 37 or your legal adviser.

The alternative: furnished mid-term letting for 1–9 months to a defined, solvent audience, relocating professionals, corporate secondees, international-organisation staff, visiting researchers and doctors.

Who does what?

Clear responsibilities before work begins, so delivery windows and lift dimensions never become last-minute surprises.

Design that survives guests and has to pay for itself.

Most interior designers plan for the person who lives there. I plan for the person who pays to stay there, and for the owner whose numbers have to work.

Built thinking, not just decoration

I read the floor plan

With a background in building, I plan around the structure, not just the surfaces, and know when to bring in an engineer.

Specified for heavy use

Over ten years planning healthcare and institutional buildings across Europe and Africa, where every surface has to be durable, easy to clean and still calm. That same standard goes into your rental.

And I let property myself

I know handovers, turnovers and guest questions from running a property myself, not just from mood boards.

Not the right offer for everyone.

  • Owners looking only for the cheapest possible furnishing.
  • Anyone expecting a €200 shopping list.
  • Hotel groups with 40 or more units.
  • Owners who want their personal taste reproduced rather than a product designed for a defined tenant.

Questions before the first call.

What does it cost in total, including furniture?

For a two-room apartment, the typical furniture budget is €12,000–€25,000. The design fee starts at €890, or full delivery support starts at €3,500.

How long does it take, and can you hit my handover date?

A concept takes around 10 working days. Full projects usually need 4–6 weeks. The first call checks lead times and timing risks in detail.

Do you order and take delivery?

With the concept package, you order. With the full package, I coordinate orders and delivery windows; payment, building access and lift details remain with you.

Do you work outside Vienna?

Vienna and the surrounding area are the core service area. Other locations are considered based on scope and logistics.

Do you speak English?

Yes. Projects and documents can be handled in German or English.

Is furnished mid-term letting legal in my building?

It depends on the property, contracts, building and use. I do not provide legal advice; please check your case with MA 37 or your legal adviser.

What happens in the free call?

We cover the apartment, district, size, timing, furniture budget and rental goal. You will then know whether and how it makes sense to proceed.

Tell me about your apartment.

In 20 minutes we will clarify the property, timing, budget and whether I am the right fit.
