Can the work be done between seasons?

That is how most Cannes commissions are planned. The handover date is set first, commonly before the spring, and the programme is written backwards from it, so the residence is yours again before the season that matters to you.

Do terraces and pools come under the same contract?

Yes. Roofing and waterproofing, decking, terraces and pool surrounds sit in the same scope as the kitchen and the bathrooms, because the same signature answers for all of it. The place a renovation usually fails is the seam between two contractors, so we remove the seam.

What if the residence is let for part of the year?

Then the let dates are fixed points in the programme like any other, and they belong in the written scope. Tell us at the private visit rather than later, and the schedule is built around them from the start.

Do you take on the villas above the town?

Yes, in La Californie, Super Cannes and the Croix des Gardes. A villa takes the envelope first, so roof, waterproofing and terraces, and then the interior behind it.

Ready before the season

Full-Home Renovation inCannes

In Cannes the calendar decides as much as the drawings do. A residence on the Croisette or on the hill above it is wanted in May and wanted again in August, which leaves a window in between. A full renovation either fits that window or it does not. So we scope the work backwards from the date you need the keys, and then we keep it.

Ready before the season

What Cannes Asks

A date that survives the season

The festival, the congresses, the summer: the Cannes year has fixed points that no programme can talk its way around. We set the completion date first and build everything else backwards from it.

Houses that live outdoors

Terraces, pools, pergolas and outdoor kitchens are half of the residence here. Waterproofing and drainage are finished properly before anything beautiful is laid on top of them.

Empty is faster

A residence handed over empty is renovated in a fraction of the time of one worked around. Where the year allows it, that is the quieter and the cheaper route, and we will say so.

Under One Contract

Six disciplines, one signature

In Cannes the work runs outdoors as often as in, and the terrace is not a separate trade with a separate invoice. Every discipline below sits inside the same contract and the same fixed price.

Full-Home Renovation

Strip-out, structure, first and second fix, plaster, floors and fittings. The whole job under one contract and one date. We draw the scheme with you room by room, specify every finish, then sequence the trades against it and hold the programme.

Stone & Bespoke Flooring

The subfloor comes first: levelled, underfloor heating run, screed poured and dried to a reading we take ourselves. Slabs and boards are chosen with you, then laid to the room's own lines: marble, travertine, herringbone oak, sealed and finished on site.

Kitchens & Bathrooms

Layouts are agreed with you, then the services follow that drawing. Waste, water, extraction and power are moved before a unit goes in. Wet rooms are tanked and the falls set to the drain. Cabinetry and worktops are specified to the millimetre, every fitting commissioned.

Roofing & Waterproofing

We take a roof or terrace back to the deck, correct the falls, and lay insulation and membrane with every upstand and outlet detailed by hand. The build-up is flood-tested before anything covers it. Only then do decking, tile or stone go down on top.

Climate, Lighting & Home Systems

Ducted cooling, ventilation and underfloor circuits are routed while the walls are open. Lighting is drawn before the plaster goes on, so coves and drivers sit inside the ceiling rather than on it. Every circuit is zoned, commissioned and set the way you live.

Exterior, Terrace & Pool

Levels, drainage and waterproofing are set before a stone is laid. Decks, paving and coping go down on pedestals or mortar to hold their line, with pool plant, lighting and irrigation run beneath them. Fixings and finishes are chosen for salt air.

How It Proceeds

A private consultationWe meet at the residence, or on a call if you are away from it. We walk the rooms, take the measure of the work, and hear every wish for what stays, what goes, and what the place should become.

A written scope at a fixed priceIt comes back as one quote: every finish named, every sum fixed, nothing buried. Agree it and the keys come to us. You are told where the work stands, week by week, until they come back.

The keys, on the promised dayWhen the work is finished we inspect it ourselves, room by room, and only then set the handover. On the agreed day you are walked through it and the keys are put back in your hand. The house is not the one you left.
