The short version
You’ll have a home that feels intentional because the layout, lighting, finishes, and joinery were decided together, priced from proper drawings, and signed off step by step before the build locks anything in.
You reached out because you want the project to move without guesswork from trades or surprises in the budget. Next, we’ll confirm the rooms and priorities, then start with a measured survey.
We start by measuring what’s there and turning it into plans everyone can read. Then we set the layout, the look and feel, and the exact list of finishes and items. Once each piece is decided, we draw it at a level a carpenter and electrician can price, so the build runs on agreed information.
About us
We’re Larchgasse Studio, a three-person interior design team based in Innsbruck. We do full-home work because it is where small decisions stack up fast. A light point shifts a cabinet. A cabinet changes the tile line. We like being the place where those choices get made once, drawn properly, and then built without backtracking.
People come to us when they want the creative part, but they also want the build to stay steerable. We keep the project on rails with measured plans, options you can compare side by side, and sign-offs that happen before anyone orders or cuts. When a trade asks a question, we answer it with a drawing and a note, not a phone guess.
Who you will work with
You’ll deal with the same three people throughout, so decisions don’t get lost between a sales call and a drawing set.
Team
Hannah Mayr, Interior designer. Hannah leads the overall design, keeps the look consistent room to room, and runs the check-ins where you make the key choices.
Lukas Leitner, Space planning and lighting. Lukas handles space planning and lighting, so furniture fits, circulation works, and the switches and light points match how you use each room.
Theresa Gruber, Joinery and documentation. Theresa draws the joinery and documentation trades price from, so the workshop, electrician, and installer are building from the same page.
Selected work
Here are a few recent full-home and fit-out projects that show how we handle layout decisions, finishes, lighting, and built-ins as one joined-up plan.
Portfolio
Older apartment rework. We re-planned the kitchen and main living space, then set a finish schedule that tied existing timber floors to new cabinetry. The build stayed on schedule because every trade priced the same drawing set before work started.
Two-bathroom redesign. We fixed awkward door swings and storage gaps, then issued a clear tile and fixture schedule per room. The plumber and tiler priced from the same plan, which avoided last-minute swaps when lead times tightened.
Small office fit-out. We planned desks, meeting space, and a kitchenette so the team could move in on time. A simple lighting and switching plan avoided patchwork changes during install and kept the ceiling clean.
“The drawings saved us from expensive changes once the trades were on site.”

How we work
We’ll keep you in control by making decisions in a clean order, showing you the trade-offs before anything is locked in, and signing off each stage so the build runs on agreed information.
1. Measure and map Week 1 We measure the space and photograph key areas, then draw existing plans you can follow. You tell us what has to work day to day, what you want to keep, and what is non-negotiable. At the end of this step, we agree the rooms, priorities, and the overall brief. 2. Layout and concept Weeks 2-3 We develop layout options and a concept direction that ties the whole home together. You choose a preferred plan, and we refine it with furniture positions, key dimensions, and how each room connects. At the end, you sign off the layout so the next decisions sit on a stable base. 3. Finishes and selections Weeks 4-6 We build a finish schedule and an FF&E shortlist so you can make decisions with prices, lead times, and maintenance in view. You’ll make the big calls, and we’ll bring two or three workable options for each item rather than a long list. At the end, we freeze the selection set for documentation. 4. Drawings for pricing Weeks 7-9 We draw the lighting and switching plan, then produce joinery drawings and construction drawings that trades can price from. If you already have a builder, we coordinate with them on practical constraints and questions as they come up. At the end, you have a tender package ready to send for bids.
Measured existing plans
A set of existing floor plans based on our site measure, formatted so you and your trades can talk about the same dimensions.
CONCEPT LAYOUT PACKAGE
Proposed layout plans with key furniture positions and major dimensions, plus a mood board that shows the overall direction across the home.
FINISH SCHEDULE
A room-by-room schedule listing floors, walls, paint, tiles, and key finishes, with product references and enough detail to order correctly.
FF&E shortlist
A curated list of furniture, fixtures, and equipment selections with supplier links, specifications, and quantities so you can approve and purchase with confidence.
LIGHTING AND SWITCHING PLAN
A plan showing light positions, fixture types, and switch locations, drawn so the electrician can price and install without interpreting a sketch.
TENDER DRAWING PACKAGE
A coordinated set of plans and joinery drawings suitable for trades bids, so pricing comes back comparable and the build starts from clear information.
What it costs
The tiers below cover the same 9-week process and differ by how many rooms we document in the tender drawing package and how detailed the selection shortlist is.

Getting started
If you’d like us to hold time in the diary and begin measuring up, the next steps are simple and happen in this order.
1. Sign this proposal to confirm full-home interior design. 2. Pay the 40% booking invoice within 14 days. 3. Book the measured survey and brief call to kick off Week 1.
Signature
Fee summary
Payment
40% is due to book the work when you sign, and 60% is due when we hand over the finished work. Each invoice is payable within 14 days of its date.
What we need from you. To start, we need access for the measured survey and any existing drawings you have. During the project, we’ll ask for decisions at each stage so the next drawings match what you approved.
Reviews and sign off. Each stage ends with a review and a clear sign off: layout and concept, then finishes and selections, then drawings for pricing. We only move to the next stage once you confirm the current one in writing.
Changes. If the scope changes after a stage is signed off, we’ll tell you what needs to be redrawn and quote the extra design time before we do it. That keeps changes visible and priced before work starts.
Budget control
We control budget creep by issuing a finish schedule, a scoped FF&E shortlist, and drawings that trades can price from. If pricing comes back over target, we’ll propose options that reduce cost without guessing.
Working with trades. We can work with your builder and trades, or we can help you invite bids using the tender drawing package. The build contract is between you and the trades you appoint, and they set their own pricing and timing.
Site access and measurements. Our drawings are based on our measured survey and the information available at the time. If site conditions differ once walls and ceilings are opened, we’ll note the impact and agree any redraws before work continues.
Ownership of work. Once your final invoice is paid, you own the finished design package for this project address. We keep the copyright to our drawings and documents, and you can use them to build, price, and maintain the space.
