Rooftop Terrace Design · Antibes
From Cap d'Antibes to Juan-les-Pins
Berlin-based manufactory delivering rooftop terrace concepts to the Cap d'Antibes peninsula's most discerning villas and Vieil Antibes heritage residences, with plant design, outdoor kitchens and wellness architecture under one curatorial hand.
Why Antibes is different
Riviera light, mistral wind, and the historic Cap d'Antibes peninsula
Cap d'Antibes is one of the original European HNWI peninsulas – the Eden Roc and La Garoupe tradition predates Côte d'Azur tourism, and Vieil Antibes within the Vauban-era ramparts represents an unbroken Mediterranean architectural heritage. Climate is hot-summer Mediterranean with intense UV, long dry summers, mild humid winters, mistral and tramontane winds, and salt-laden Mediterranean air. The Ville d'Antibes and the ABF protect heritage interventions.
We work in this tension daily: with HMONP-licensed Ordre des Architectes architects and structural engineers, with Service Urbanisme and ABF heritage consultants, and with the lifestyle expectations of Antibes clients between Cap d'Antibes and La Garoupe peninsula villas, Eden Roc-adjacent estates, Vieil Antibes heritage residences, Juan-les-Pins beachfront properties and Hauts d'Antibes hillside estates. Our role is the plant and outdoor lifestyle layer – ecological substrate, Riviera-Mediterranean curation, and the wellness elements (sunset terrace, outdoor kitchen, pool deck, pergola) that turn an Antibes rooftop into a year-round sanctuary.
Our Antibes approach
Curated plants, ecological substrate, lifestyle integration
- Symbiosis methodology – mycorrhizal partnerships, effective microorganisms and humus building replace chemical fertilisation under Riviera drought, UV and salt exposure.
- Riviera-Mediterranean palette – structural specimens (cypress, olive, citrus, Aleppo pine, parasol pine, palms), Mediterranean evergreens (lavender, rosemary, myrtle, lentisk, santolina, oleander), flowering accents (bougainvillea, plumbago, jasmine, hibiscus, mimosa), drought-tolerant succulents.
- Wellness architecture – sunset terrace, outdoor kitchen, pool deck and pergola integration with Mediterranean or peninsula framing.
- Heritage- and salt-aware execution – HMONP-licensed Ordre des Architectes architects and structural engineers, Service Urbanisme and ABF consultation, Site Classé heritage review, salt-resistant detailing.
Areas we serve
Across the Cap d'Antibes peninsula and Vieil Antibes
Most of our Antibes work is concentrated in Cap d'Antibes, La Garoupe, Eden Roc, Vieil Antibes, Juan-les-Pins and Hauts d'Antibes. We also handle select Cannes and Nice-adjacent projects.
How an Antibes project unfolds
From first conversation to handover
- 01
Understanding before drawing
Site visit (or detailed remote survey for first conversations from Berlin), discussion of the people and rhythm using the terrace, early constraint mapping (Service Urbanisme, ABF, salt, mistral, structure).
- 02
Concept and curation
A small set of plant compositions, material moodboards, wellness element placement. Always optionality.
- 03
Engineering and approvals
Load calculations with French-licensed structural engineer, Service Urbanisme permitting, ABF heritage consent for Cap d'Antibes Site Classé.
- 04
Installation and handover
Our team installs on site over one to several weeks. Plants are sourced from Côte d'Azur nurseries and pre-conditioned for the Riviera climate. After handover we offer ongoing care subscriptions following the same symbiosis methodology.
Frequently asked
What clients usually want to know first

- How do you handle ABF heritage review?
- Through experienced HMONP-licensed architects and ABF-trained heritage consultants. Cap d'Antibes Site Classé and Vieil Antibes interventions require careful early engagement with the Architecte des Bâtiments de France.
- How long does a typical Antibes project take?
- Between four and twelve months from first conversation to handover. Larger Cap d'Antibes peninsula villas often need eight to fourteen months of planning.

The first call is unhurried – understanding before any concept. We travel from Berlin for site visits when the project warrants it.
