Urban Flip Studio
About us

More passion than work.

We are two people, married in private life. Urban Flip Studio grew out of our shared passion project.

We renovated our first apartments with our own money, at our own risk. That is where we learned how much a good layout, well-planned light or a precisely finished joint matters.

Today we work for clients too, from A to Z: from survey and design through construction and procurement to furnishing and handover. One of us thinks through the spaces, the light and the materials; the other organises and runs the build — so the decisions made at the drawing board don’t get lost on site.

We don’t want to become a big company. We deliberately take on only a few projects at a time, so that each one gets our real attention.

Our biggest project together so far is the Vámház körút apartment, Project Olive. We spent months searching for the tiles, the lamps, the door handles and the colours — and we bring the same attention to our clients’ homes.

Who we are

Two of us, from two sides

One of us runs the structure and the build, the other the spaces and the interior — yet the decisions are shared, from the drawing board to the handover of the keys.

  • Structure and construction

    Martin

    The technical side of the renovation: surveys, demolition and wall plans, mechanical and electrical systems, structurally demanding solutions — such as the steel-framed gallery on Vámház körút. He organises and runs the build and keeps in touch with the trades.

  • Interior and furnishing

    Sugi

    The spaces, the light and the materials: layout, colour palette, finishes, lighting, furniture and textiles. She thinks through how the renovated apartment becomes a liveable, personal home — and follows the furnishing through to the last detail.

How we work

We are there throughout.

We don’t make off-the-shelf products. We hand-pick the tiles, the lamps, the door handles and the colours — and we test the paint shades on site, in the apartment’s own light, as in the photo. During construction we are on site regularly, so the decisions made at the drawing board end up on the walls the way we imagined them.

The physical work is done by a steady, reliable team we work with from project to project — from demolition to laying the parquet.

The team

Reliable hands in every trade

The team on a garden site: digging and setting out a foundation

We work with a steady team — so quality does not depend on luck.

Principles

What holds our work together

  • Design and construction move forward together
  • One point of contact, coordinated trades
  • Aesthetic and technical decisions in one system
  • Only a few projects at a time — each one gets our full attention

Everyday life in the studio is also on Instagram.
