Renovating in Geneva is not something to take lightly: properties here demand exceptional care, expectations are high, and a project’s success depends as much on the quality of its design as on the rigor of its execution. Choosing the right professional is therefore critical.
Atelier Christophe Sarlandie works in Geneva and throughout Greater Geneva, on both the Left and Right Banks, as well as in Nyon, Annemasse, and Lausanne. The studio handles complete apartment and house renovations, from design through project management. Its expertise is recognized by VSI-ASAI, the leading Swiss professional association for interior architects. For projects on the Swiss side of the border, this recognition is a mark of qualified professional practice.
The studio’s office in the Pays de Gex, at 288 Avenue de Genève in Divonne-les-Bains, is just a short drive from Geneva. Design meetings and site visits are easy to arrange, without the logistical challenges of working with a firm based far away.
The studio begins with a close study of the space, its proportions, and its light, then defines how each area will be used and translates it all into floor plans, perspective drawings, and 3D visualizations. The design is developed in enough detail that every decision, including the choice of materials, can be made before construction begins.
The studio puts together the bid documents, evaluates contractor proposals, and verifies insurance coverage. It then coordinates the trades while continuously monitoring workmanship, budget, and schedule through to final handover.
The studio also designs built-in furniture, custom cabinetry, and interior decor as part of a unified vision, creating a cohesive interior where every element contributes to comfort and quality of life.
In Geneva, professional credentials matter. Christophe Sarlandie is recognized by VSI-ASAI, which unites qualified interior architects across Switzerland, and by the CFAI (French Council of Interior Architects), where he has served as vice president since 2024. He also represents French interior architects at the ECIA, the European Council of Interior Architects, whose membership includes more than 20,000 qualified professionals in 18 countries.
He holds the Diplôme Supérieur en Architecture Intérieure (Advanced Diploma in Interior Architecture), has been practicing since 2009, and works with executives, entrepreneurs, and international clients on renovations that demand exceptional design expertise. He deliberately limits the number of projects he takes on at any one time, so every client works directly with the interior architect, from the first sketch to final handover.
It all starts with an initial conversation and an assessment of the property’s potential, covering technical constraints, feasibility, and early design directions.
Layout options are drawn up, compared, and refined in working sessions using floor plans, diagrams, and 3D visualizations. When the project requires it, the studio calls on specialists such as a surveyor, an acoustic engineer, an energy consultant, a lighting designer, or an engineering firm.
The studio invites contractors to bid and secures reliable, comparable quotes. Construction then proceeds under its close supervision, all the way to final handover and the installation of the interior decor.
The Atelier operates primarily in Lyon and the Greater Lyon area, as well as in the Pays de Gex, the Geneva area, and the Annecy region.

The Atelier also considers complete renovation projects in other areas of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and the Lake Geneva area—in both France and Switzerland—depending on the nature, scale, and timeline of the project.

The budget depends on the property itself: its current condition and size, the scope of the alterations, the technical complexity involved, the quality of finishes, and any custom cabinetry. For an initial idea of costs, Atelier Christophe Sarlandie offers an online cost estimator and explains how its fees work on the pricing page.
Whether it’s a city apartment, a house in the Geneva area, or a home with character ready to be reimagined, the studio will carefully review your project and guide you from design to final handover, working with French-speaking and international clients alike.
