Hello and welcome!

I’m Jelena, an architect based in Vienna with a love for interior design and travel. Let me share a little story about how a casual summer conversation led me down a new path. 

‍

It all started at Vienna’s Neustifter Kirtag, a lively local festival that’s full of community spirit. During the festivities, I found myself chatting with a friend who enjoys renting different Airbnb spots around the city throughout the year—just for a change of scenery. Whether it’s a traditional Viennese apartment or a sleek modern penthouse, he loves exploring different styles without leaving his hometown. That conversation got me thinking.

As an architect, my focus has always been on creating spaces that are not only functional but also meaningful. So why not bring that approach to short-term rentals? I realized that I could use my skills to make these spaces more than just a place to stay—they could become part of the guests' stories. 

‍

That’s when I decided to start a new chapter, blending my love for architecture, design, and travel into the world of short-term rentals. My goal is simple: to create spaces that leave a lasting impression, making each stay feel special. 

‍

Here on the blog, I’ll be sharing more about this journey—how I approach design, what inspires me, and how I bring together travel and architecture in my work. I’m always curious to hear what excites you about your own space or what design challenges you’re facing. Let’s chat, exchange ideas, and see where it takes us. Looking forward to connecting with you!

Best,

Jelena
