No clients named.
But the work explained.
Discretion matters in the premium segment. Instead of names or addresses, the projects below describe the kinds of briefs typical to high-end interior fit-out in Munich — and how an owner's representative resolves them.
Brief. An international family had taken a senior role in Munich. The apartment in Schwabing had been bought sight-unseen during a single weekend visit. A complete fit-out was needed within a fixed window — the family was relocating from London with two school-age children and would arrive on a precise date. Living in a half-finished home was not an option.
Challenge. The family was overseas for the entire build. Time-zone communication had to work. All technical decisions had to be translated into a language the client could decide in. School registrations, residence permits, and work onboarding ran in parallel — the renovation could not become an additional source of stress.
Solution. A weekly written report was established, in English, with photos and decisions framed as A/B choices wherever possible. Three suitable interior architects in Munich were proposed; one was selected after a video call. All authority correspondence and trade contracts were handled in our name on the family's behalf. School-age furniture and beds were ordered to coincide with handover. On the day the family arrived, keys were exchanged at the apartment, with bedrooms made up and the kitchen stocked for the first week.
Outcome. Move-in on the planned date. Budget held within four percent. The family reports that the relocation became the easiest part of the move — the apartment was simply waiting for them.
Brief. A family of four had bought an apartment in Lehel with stucco ceilings dating from the 1890s. Modern living was wanted, without losing the historic substance. Before the engagement, the family had spent two years failing to assemble a workable team of interior architect and site management.
Challenge. The stucco ceilings had to be preserved while the entire mechanical and electrical infrastructure was relaid in every room — including smart-home wiring. In three rooms, original timber floors were to be retained. The kitchen had to be planned in a footprint technically too small for modern use.
Solution. Two suitable interior architects with experience in historic substance were proposed; one was selected after introductory meetings. The structural engineer and restorer were involved early. For the timber floors, a master restorer from the book network was engaged; for the kitchen, a master joiner developed a solution with two folding work surfaces.
Outcome. Handover on time. Budget held within three percent. Stucco ceilings fully preserved. Original timber floors restored to original appearance.
Brief. An international client had bought a penthouse handed over by the developer as a shell only. Floors, walls, ceilings, all installations, all bathrooms, all furniture — everything was open. The client comes from sport business and travels constantly. A premium fit-out was expected without their personal presence on site.
Challenge. In a shell penthouse, everything is new — no existing decision can be reused; every position must be tendered. High expectations existed for the lighting installation and smart-home integration; both had to be developed in parallel with the interior architecture. Schedules were tight because the apartment had to be ready by a fixed date.
Solution. Three possible interior architecture firms were proposed; one was selected. In parallel, a lighting designer and a smart-home specialist joined the team. Italian-quarry natural stone, gilded bronze door handles from a Munich metalworker, fully integrated lighting control. The client visited twice in twelve months — the rest ran on weekly reports and video calls.
Outcome. Move-in ready on the agreed deadline. The lighting design was later photographed and published with the designer's permission, fully anonymised.
What you should know about our projects.
Why are no client references shown by name?
Discretion is standard in the premium segment. Our clients value confidentiality and we respect that. The projects above are written as sample briefs — typical of the kind of high-end interior fit-out projects an owner's representative manages.
What kinds of projects do you typically manage in Munich?
Full renovations of period apartments in central Munich (Lehel, Schwabing, Bogenhausen, Maxvorstadt), fit-outs of contemporary penthouses, town villas in greater Munich, and apartments prepared for international clients moving to Munich. Projects from €500,000 in construction value.
How long does a high-quality renovation in Munich take?
A premium full renovation in Munich typically runs 8 to 12 months from groundbreak to handover. Add three to six months of concept and planning ahead of that. Shell-up penthouse fit-outs commonly run 10 to 14 months.
Can you handle projects for clients who are not yet in Munich?
Yes. A typical engagement for international clients begins before they arrive. We oversee the entire fit-out, communicate with the client in English by weekly report, and hand over a move-in-ready home so the family arrives without facing a construction site.
How many trades are involved in a premium fit-out?
Typically twelve to seventeen. A premium interior fit-out involves: joinery, natural stone, metalwork, glass refining, lighting design, electrical, plumbing, heating, painting, flooring, tiling, smart-home integration, and at times saddlery, upholstery and restoration.
Are these projects real?
They are sample briefs that reflect the typical situations our work involves. Specific clients, addresses, and figures are anonymised or generalised for confidentiality. In a personal first call, we are happy to share more concrete experience within the limits of our confidentiality obligations.
What does a high-quality renovation in Munich cost per square metre?
A premium full renovation in a Munich period building typically starts at €3,000–€5,000 per square metre. With premium materials and bespoke joinery, it can easily reach €7,000–€10,000 per square metre. We share an order-of-magnitude estimate in our first call; a robust investment plan follows in the first project phase.
