INHABIT

What INHABIT does

INHABIT, operating under the legal name OLAUT and the trade names OLAUT and Inhabit Architects, is a privately held architecture and interior design firm founded in 2016 and headquartered in Marbella, Spain. The company delivers bespoke architectural and interior design services across three interconnected offerings: Architecture Services for residential and commercial buildings, Commercial Design for offices and business environments, and Interiors for residential estates and commercial spaces, with named projects including Estate of the Arts, Real Estate Office (Pure Living Properties), Estate of Calm, and Martech Office.

The firm operates a professional services, project-based revenue model, billing clients through quote-based engagements determined by project scope, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Its go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer: client relationships are initiated through portfolio presentations, direct outreach, and referrals, supported by organic social channels (Behance, Instagram, Facebook) and a blog used for thought leadership. The customer base is segmented horizontally into high-end residential clients (affluent individuals seeking bespoke estates and private residences) and commercial/business clients (real estate companies, offices, and businesses requiring distinctive work environments).

INHABIT's geographic footprint spans at least ten countries across Europe (Spain, Sweden, Germany, Italy, Netherlands), South America (Cuba, Brazil), North America (Miami, USA), and the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, Dubai), despite operating with a headcount in the 11-50 range. The firm operates through dual English- and Spanish-language websites (with a Russian-language version) under the OLAUT and Inhabit Architects brands, and positions its value proposition around a "beginner's mindset" philosophy intended to deliver individualized, non-template design solutions. Revenue, customer lists, ownership structure, and capital history are not disclosed in the available data.
