Séjour d'un appartement rénové à Cannes, ouvert sur la terrasse et la vue mer

Le projet

Nothing was kept. Partitions, floors, services, kitchen, bathroom: everything was stripped out before being rebuilt. The apartment regained legible volumes, a kitchen rethought along a constrained run, a bathroom with a walk-in shower, and a terrace treated as a room in its own right — flooring, lighting, shading.

We handled both design and construction, from the first sketch to final acceptance of the works.

Coin repas avec baies vitrées, vue sur les toits de Cannes et la mer — Dining area open to the view

Chambre ouverte sur la terrasse, vue sur les toits de Cannes — Bedroom opening directly onto the terrace

Terrasse en longueur au coucher du soleil, appartement rénové à Cannes — The terrace treated as a room

Three constraints that had to be handled together

Les accès

Cannes ne se livre pas comme une commune ordinaire. Rues étroites, stationnement rare, créneaux de livraison à négocier. Tout le chantier a été alimenté par la cage d’escalier et l’ascenseur, sixième étage compris, matériaux à la montée comme gravats à la descente. Cela ne s’improvise pas en cours de route : c’est un cadencement à établir avant le premier coup de marteau, sous peine de payer des entreprises à attendre sur le trottoir.

Heavy demolition in an occupied building

Demolishing on the sixth floor means working above occupied homes. Protection of common areas, working hours respected, organised waste removal, coordination with the building manager and the neighbours. The quality of a project in a co-owned building is measured as much by what it leaves in the corridors as by what it delivers in the apartment.

Bringing services up to code

This is the item buyers most underestimate, and the one that weighs heaviest. The electrical installation was entirely redone to current standards: new consumer unit, residual current devices, earthing, circuits sized room by room. The plumbing followed — supplies, drainage, waterproofing of the walk-in shower, kitchen connections.

Cuisine en longueur, meubles toute hauteur et plan de travail continu — Kitchen optimised along a constrained run

Salle d'eau avec douche à l'italienne, niche éclairée et meuble vasque suspendu — Bathroom and plumbing entirely rebuilt

Terrasse éclairée à la nuit tombée, appartement rénové à Cannes — Integrated exterior lighting

This is work no one sees once the walls are closed. Yet it determines whether the apartment is safe, insurable and resaleable.

Four months, held

A full renovation of 89 square metres on the sixth floor in four months requires that decisions be made before the works, not during. Materials fixed upfront, contractors consulted on a complete tender file, a programme built around access constraints rather than in spite of them.

That is the difference between a project that is managed and one that is merely endured.
