Christophe

My goal is to design a quality product that is both elegant and pleasant to live with on a daily basis.

I carefully listen to my clients and their needs to offer an architectural design and an aesthetic directly linked to your expectations and your deep aspirations. My work extends to residential interior architecture projects, housing renovations, interior decoration, and occasionally the development-rehabilitation of professional sites as well.

I design spaces in a way that respects the unique personality and identity of each client, keeping in line with the different initial objectives.

Having obtained a Diplôme Supérieur d’Arts Appliqués en Architecture Intérieure – Higher Diploma of Applied Arts in Interior Architecture and Design – in 2010 and as a member recognized by the CFAI – French Council of Interior Architects I have been in contact and collaborated for several years with experienced professionals in architecture and design. Some notable collaborations include SBBT Sophie Berthelier et Benoit Tribouillet, Rudy Ricciotti, Jean Paul Dampierre, Olivier Detroyat architect and Bryan Chastang architect and designer, who all contributed to the creation of my own design method.

This experience allows me to support you in your interior architecture and design project, from design to completion. For fifteen years, I have specialized in the development of housing of quality and character. Projects have included Haussmann apartments, historical mansions, contemporary duplexes, and contemporary villas.

I work mainly between Lyon and Geneva but also carry out projects throughout France as well as abroad – most recently Switzerland, Thailand or the United States. Throughout all projects, building a relationship of trust with the clients is key.

I’ve always been committed to growing in my profession as an interior architect. This commitment led me to work within education as well, notably as a national educational coordinator for the private universities ESDAC where I oversaw twelve schools in France for a period of seven years. I was also myself a teacher in project design for Master-level students for fourteen years.

In 2019, I was elected president of the CFAI Teaching Commission, which monitors the evolution of teaching in interior architecture in France and assists schools in educating future interior architect professionals. The teaching commission participates in a rigorous identification of training courses in interior architecture and design in France.

In 2023 I represented France at the ECIA – European Council of Interior Architects, a European organization for our profession which brings together eighteen countries and more than fifteen thousand interior architects. In February 2024 I became Vice-President of the French Council of Interior Architects. More recently with increasing focus on working in Switzerland, I was admitted to the Swiss professional organization of interior architects, the VSI-ASAI.

I like to work with interior spaces but also with windows and light sources, which allow views of landscape, city, and natural light to pass through. Another essential element is the use of different materials. Wood, metal, stone, glass, fabric or even Corian® and silestone quartz are all materials that bring identity and aesthetic to architecture and interior spaces.

Interior lighting should create an atmosphere that highlights the space and enhances each material present. It is after this essential work that the furniture and layout can finalize the process and make a coherent interior space.
