At Urbā Living, we seek out overlooked and forgotten properties — spaces with history, character, and unrealised potential — and reimagine them from the ground up.

Each home begins with a fresh vision. We design with intention, balancing function and aesthetics while honouring the original spirit of the space.

Using quality, natural materials and expert craftsmanship, we then breathe new life into the space, ensuring the finish is as refined as the idea behind it.

Once restored, we continue to care for our homes through thoughtful management — offering both long-term tenancies and short-term stays. Whether for a few nights or a few years, we create spaces that feel uniquely home.

Discovery and evaluation

Every Urbā Living project begins with a rigorous search. We review dozens of properties to uncover the ones with exceptional potential — spaces that offer scope for creativity and meaningful transformation, alongside a financial profile that makes long-term sense. It’s a careful balance of instinct, experience, and vision.

Design and refurbishment

We seek out properties ready for a fresh start — and carefully select projects that align with our values and design philosophy. Drawing from multiple disciplines, we design spaces that balance beauty, function, and flow. Our refurbishment process brings that vision to life.

Holistic design process

Our design process is deeply interdisciplinary — drawing from architecture, interior design and product design to shape spaces that are both functional and beautiful. Through endless design iterations, we refine every detail until the vision feels complete. The result is a clear, cohesive concept for the space — and a budget that brings it to life.

Painstaking refurbishment

Our refurbishment process is entirely self-managed, ensuring every detail stays true to the original design vision. We use premium, sustainable and durable materials and never cut corners. We approach every space as if we were creating it for ourselves — with integrity, intention, and uncompromising attention to detail.

Long-term tenancies

Finding the right fit

We see tenancy as a two-way match. We personally host every viewing — to meet our tenants and give give them time to explore, ask questions, and learn about the space and its story. Our selection process is fair and collaborative, focused on finding the right fit for both sides.

Starting with a warm welcome

We want our tenants to feel at home from day one. Each move-in comes with a curated guide to the home — its story, design highlights, and tips for making the most of it — plus our personal picks for local food, cafés, and perhaps favourite running or cycling spots.

Here when needed

We care deeply about our homes, which is why we manage them ourselves. Knowing each property inside-out means we can troubleshoot quickly and effectively. We’re easy to reach, efficient, and down-to-earth — offering support when needed, without overstepping professional boundaries.

Our homes are crafted for people who value thoughtful, modern design that reflects their values. We provide spaces that intentionally support creativity, wellbeing, and connection — and care for each one with the same attention we give to the people who live there.
