Semiramis
A terrace facing the Lérins Islands, in the hills of Cannes
Six floors up in the Résidence Semiramis, the view runs south across the bay to the Lérins Islands. This three-bedroom home in the centre of Cannes makes the most of it, with a 22-square-metre terrace facing the sea. Down below, the building’s gardens hold a heated pool, and a concierge takes care of the rest.
A garden hidden within the city
Coco Capitán’s photograph starts from the idea of a pied-à-terre as a garden hidden within the city, somewhere quiet and set apart. It suits a home with the gardens of the Résidence Semiramis six floors below.
About the neighbourhood
Californie is one of Cannes’ most sought-after neighbourhoods, a hillside of stately villas, lush gardens and palm-lined avenues with views across the Côte d’Azur. The beaches, La Croisette and the Palais des Festivals are a 15-minute walk away.
Design direction
The first thing you see when you walk through the door is a photograph by the Spanish artist Coco Capitán, made specifically for this home in Cannes. It sets the tone for the rest of the home before you’ve taken a step inside. The open-plan reception leads into a new kitchen finished in thick marble, and the south-facing windows keep the rooms bright through the day.
