Avenue Montrose
Riviera light from both sides, in Cannes’ Californie
A light-filled pied-à-terre in Cannes’ Californie neighbourhood, designed around the easy rhythm of Riviera living. Double windows open onto generous terraces on both sides of the apartment, with the living and dining space extending towards manicured gardens. Two bedrooms each have their own terrace, while a new kitchen, shared pool and landscaped grounds complete the home.
Marble, warm wood and Riviera light
The renovation pairs natural materials with a soft, tonal palette. Marble gives the kitchen a French feel, warm wood and organic textures add depth, and sculptural furniture brings character without losing the apartment’s relaxed Riviera spirit.
About the neighbourhood
Californie occupies a quieter hillside position above Cannes, known for its grand villas, lush gardens and palm-lined avenues. The neighbourhood captures a more residential side of the Riviera, while the beaches, La Croisette and the Palais des Festivals are around a 20-minute walk away. From the hillside, sweeping views extend across the Côte d’Azur, bringing a sense of space and calm to one of Cannes’ most sought-after addresses.
Design direction
We designed the apartment around what’s outside it. Windows on both sides mean the light moves through the home from morning to evening, and the living and dining space opens straight onto the terrace, looking out over the gardens. Inside, the coast is never far away: a series of coastal artwork runs throughout the home, bringing a playful nod to the Riviera.
