About Roberta Penna | Interior Designer in Swiss Riviera
An international background in Architecture, Renovation and Interior Design
Graduating in Architecture and Urban Planning in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2002, I have built extensive international expertise in interior design, space planning and decoration. My holistic approach to living spaces has been shaped by professional experience across two continents, giving me a distinctive, well-rounded perspective and the expertise to lead complex renovation projects with confidence.
From Barcelona to Alsace: embracing sustainable design and meticulous project management
With a strong commitment to environmental sustainability and eco-conscious architecture, I continued my studies in Barcelona in 2010, where I earned a Master’s degree in Renewable Energy in Architecture. This specialisation profoundly shaped my approach to living spaces, inspiring me to integrate sustainable solutions with an aesthetic influenced by the Mediterranean art of living.
My professional journey then took me to Alsace, France, where I spent five years leading a multidisciplinary team of interior architects, carpenters and graphic designers. This pivotal experience strengthened my expertise in project management, on-site supervision, coordination of skilled trades and bespoke design.
Your bespoke renovation project across Lausanne, Pully, Vevey, Montreux and Blonay–Saint-Légier
Now based in Switzerland, where I have further developed my expertise in site supervision and the delivery of projects across the country, I bring my wealth of international experience to Atelier id. Based in Blonay–Saint-Légier, I work with clients throughout the Lake Geneva region, paying meticulous attention to functionality, spatial harmony and the careful selection of materials.
My vision of Interior Design: functionality, aesthetics and well-being
I founded Atelier id with a deep-rooted belief: your home should be a place where you feel at ease, where you can truly be yourself, and where every detail makes everyday life simpler. To achieve this, my approach is built around a few fundamental principles that guide every project:
- Active Listening and Tailored Solutions: every lifestyle is unique. That is why each space plan is thoughtfully designed to suit your habits, preferences and individual needs.
- Natural Materials and Sustainability: I favour authentic textures and timeless materials that stand the test of time with elegance.
- Harmony of Colour and Light: I carefully balance natural and artificial lighting with subtle colour palettes to create harmonious spaces that enhance everyday well-being.
