CASE STUDY 01

When the Market
Changes the Strategy


The property was designed to support multiple income streams, with the main house originally intended for room-by-room rental and the independent apartment for mid-term stays. When the market signaled a different opportunity for the main house, the strategy shifted to short-term rental while preserving the apartment’s mid-term strategy.

THE PIVOT

The Market Told
a Different Story


Once the main house entered the market, the room by room rental strategy struggled to gain traction.

Rather than continuing to force the original plan, the entire home was tested as a short term rental.

The response was immediate.
