Does your home actually feel like you? For most clients who come to us, this question goes well beyond aesthetics. A thoughtfully designed interior has measurable effects on how you live: your quality of rest, your ability to recover from pressure, the way you host and connect. Environmental psychology is unambiguous on this. Spaces that reflect ourselves reduce cortisol levels, support focus, and create a lasting sense of belonging. Your home is not just shelter. It is the setting in which your life takes place.
Alexandra Henry Interiors designs and delivers high-end interior architecture projects in Geneva, across Switzerland and internationally, for apartments, villas, chalets, second homes and boutique hotels, serving a private clientele that expects complete care, genuine listening, and results that outlast any trend. Every project is guided by a commitment to wellbeing: spaces that are functional, elegant, durable, and above all deeply personal.
With 20 years’ experience in high-end renovations in the UK and Europe and having worked in Switzerland for a decade, Alexandra Henry understands the technical, logistical and cultural realities of the Geneva market precisely. Every project is coordinated with rigour, from concept to handover.
What you experience when you work with the studio
Every client who works with the studio arrives with the same underlying question: who will actually be responsible for this project? The answer is straightforward. From the first consultation to the moment the space is handed over, Alexandra Henry oversees the project personally. You have one point of contact. Every decision is tracked, every milestone is confirmed, and nothing advances without your approval.
Whether you already live in Geneva, are relocating from abroad, or are managing a second home remotely, the studio provides complete local coordination. Artisans, régies and technical specialists are managed in French, to Swiss standards, and you are kept informed throughout in the language you prefer. For clients arriving from elsewhere, this removes the need to navigate a system that was not designed with them in mind. For clients already established in Geneva, it means a single trusted point of contact who takes full responsibility for a process they would otherwise have to manage themselves, alongside their own network of trades and suppliers.
This continuity of oversight is not a secondary benefit. It is the foundation of execution quality. Projects go wrong rarely because of one large failure. They go wrong because of accumulated small decisions taken in the client’s absence, of timelines that slip without warning, of tradespeople left unsupervised. Alexandra Henry’s personal involvement on every project is precisely what prevents that drift.

A complete approach to interior architecture, with wellbeing at its centre
Interior architecture is not a decorative discipline. It is a structural one: it determines how you move through space, how light accompanies you through the day, how proportion and material create calm or stimulation. These are not abstract concerns. They are the difference between a home that restores you and one that quietly exhausts you.
The studio integrates technical constraints, execution requirements and project coherence from the first design decision. Aesthetics and buildability are never treated separately: no material, no spatial move, no lighting scheme is confirmed without being verified for technical feasibility and long-term durability.
In practice, this means execution drawings are coordinated with the trades before any order is placed, joinery details are designed with existing reveals in mind, and material choices are evaluated for how they will perform and age. The result is projects that are realised as they were designed, without the surprises that inflate budgets and extend timelines.
Alexandra Henry’s practice
Based in Geneva, Alexandra Henry has practised interior architecture for over twenty years, across residential and hospitality projects in Switzerland, the United Kingdom, France, Monaco and beyond.
Her approach is grounded in a deep reading of space: colour, light, proportion and materiality treated as structural elements rather than finishing layers. She works far from trends. The interiors her studio produces are designed to remain relevant, to feel right for the people who live in them, not for the season in which they were designed.
This conviction shapes the choice of materials as much as the design decisions. The studio favours natural materials: from travertine to marble and solid timber, from linen to cashmere and wools. Not as a stylistic preference, but because these materials age with character, gain depth over time, and contribute actively to the wellbeing of those who inhabit the spaces. An interior designed to last is not only an aesthetic choice. It is also a sound long-term investment.
As creative director, she holds the artistic direction and coherence of every project personally, from initial concept through to site completion.
She came up with ideas I would never have thought of and gave me the confidence to go with something outside my comfort zone. We absolutely love it.’ Private client, Geneva.
Interior architecture services in Geneva and Switzerland
The studio offers a complete interior architecture and design service, from concept to delivery. Every commission sits within an integrated approach in which creative vision and technical execution remain consistent at every stage. Whether your project is a Geneva apartment, an Alpine chalet, a lakeside villa or a property abroad, the studio’s standard of rigour does not change.
Residential interior architecture, with a focus on wellbeing
You receive a fully bespoke design for your apartment, villa, chalet or second home, calibrated to your way of living, your technical constraints and your own identity. Every spatial choice, every material selection, every joinery detail is considered in relation to how you actually live, not to an abstract decorative ideal. Nothing templated. Nothing approximate.
Hospitality and commercial interior architecture
Boutique hotels, restaurants, bars and commercial spaces: the studio designs interiors where the identity of the property is expressed through precise interior architecture thinking, with operational constraints integrated from the outset. The objective is spaces that work for the teams who run them, that draw in the guests who experience them, and that retain their coherence over time.
High-end interior design
A comprehensive approach to spatial composition, material selection and aesthetic coherence, from floor to ceiling, from the structural to the final finish. Every element is considered in its relationship to the others, and no choice is made in isolation from the broader architectural context.
FF&E selection and sourcing
Selection, sourcing and management of furniture, fixtures and equipment, via a privileged network of international specialists and editors. The studio manages orders, tracks lead times and coordinates delivery and final installation.
A structured process: from vision to handover
Every project follows a structured process designed to ensure continuity between design, coordination and execution. You validate at every stage, and nothing advances without your approval. This process is not only a guarantee of organisation. It is what makes it possible to deliver coherent results even on complex projects involving multiple parties.
Stage 1: Vision and concept
An initial consultation analyses the space, identifies its potential and maps your aesthetic and functional requirements. We listen carefully to your way of living, your routines, your constraints and your long-term ambitions for the space. The studio then develops a complete creative direction: mood boards, space plans, elevations, realistic visualisations, material and finish boards. You see exactly what is being proposed before any commitment is made.
Stage 2: Development, selection and coordination
Once the direction is confirmed, the studio develops the full technical and aesthetic package: rigorous material selection, furniture and finish sourcing, bespoke joinery design, and full coordination of orders and lead times. Materials are selected for their technical quality, their durability, and their coherence with the project as a whole. Bespoke elements, wardrobes, shelving, integrated joinery, are drawn up in detailed execution plans before any fabrication begins.
Stage 3: Execution and delivery
Contractor coordination, technical adjustments, quality controls and finish validation. The studio carries out regular site visits to verify that work is being executed in accordance with the validated intentions. No detail is left to the discretion of the tradespeople without supervision. The space is handed over complete, finished, checked, and ready to live in.
Projects beyond Geneva: Verbier, London, Monaco and further afield
The studio works across Switzerland and internationally, with second homes in Verbier, Gstaad or the Alpine arc, apartments and villas in Monaco, London or Paris, and multi-site projects for clients whose lives extend across several countries. Some of these clients are based locally, in Monaco or London, for example, and choose the studio for the same fully managed process they would expect at home. Others live elsewhere and manage the property remotely, whether they are considering a future move to the region or simply maintaining a second home. Both cases have shaped a proven methodology in which rigorous documentation and regular communication support the project at every stage.
For clients who are not present on site, the studio operates a complete remote project management protocol: structured progress updates, visual site reporting, and full local coordination handled in your absence. You are informed at every significant stage and involved in the decisions that matter, without having to manage what can be managed on your behalf.
Wellbeing by design
The attention paid to structure, light and material throughout a project is never an end in itself. It exists to support how you actually live: the ease of your mornings, the quality of your rest, your ability to host without effort, the sense of arriving somewhere that is unmistakably yours.
Every plan is tested against this standard before it is confirmed. It is not a marketing promise. It is a design methodology.
What clients say about the journey and the result
The feedback we receive rarely focuses on materials or layouts alone. What clients mention most consistently: the clarity of the process, the trust established early, and at handover, the feeling of an interior that genuinely belongs to them. They also mention what they did not expect: ideas they would not have had the confidence to pursue alone, and that they would not change today for anything.
Frequently asked questions
What does your design process look like?
Every project begins with an in-depth consultation: analysis of the space, careful listening to your life habits, and identification of technical and regulatory constraints. The studio then produces a complete creative direction, including mood boards, space plans, elevations, realistic visualisations and finish boards. Each phase is formally approved before the next begins. Design and execution are managed by the studio from start to finish: one point of contact, full accountability throughout, from the first plan to the moment the key is handed over.
Why work with an interior architecture studio rather than a traditional architect or decorator?
An interior architecture studio combines the technical rigour of an architect with the sensitivity of a designer, while assuming full responsibility for the project from concept to handover. You have a single point of contact who coordinates all parties, anticipates constraints and guarantees the coherence of the result. For complex projects and demanding clients, it is the most efficient model, and often the least costly in the long run. The most common pitfalls in renovation, budget overruns, extended timelines, gaps between design intent and built outcome, occur almost invariably in the absence of integrated oversight.
