Avenue de Vallauris
Two terraces and a sea view, in the hills of Montrose
A Cannes apartment on Avenue de Vallauris, in the quiet hills of Montrose above the town. The living spaces gather around the kitchen island, large windows look towards the sea, and two terraces catch the morning sun and the sunset.
Riviera light in every room
The apartment’s architecture is deliberately understated, allowing the light and surrounding landscape to shape the experience of each space. Generous windows open the interiors towards the Riviera, while carefully considered proportions create an easy flow between the living areas and terraces. The result is a home where the architectural backdrop feels calm and uncomplicated, giving the more tactile elements of the interior room to stand out.
About the neighbourhood
Montrose sits just above central Cannes, offering a quieter perspective on the city within a setting of mature pines, gardens and elegant villas. Once part of the grounds of Château Thorenc, the neighbourhood retains traces of its historic character in its winding paths, stone walls and established greenery. Today, it offers a discreet residential atmosphere while remaining close to the energy of Cannes, with the Croisette, beaches, restaurants and boutiques just down the hill.
Design direction
We took our cue from the Mediterranean: sun-washed blues and soft Provençal greens, set against raffia, linen and warm wood. We let the light do most of the work, so the colour comes in quietly, through olive greens, woven lighting and blue stripes that recall the parasols lining La Croisette.
