In Cap d’Antibes, Atelier Nérée supports the renovation and transformation of existing villas. The survey considers the envelope, comfort in a coastal climate, interiors, potential extensions and the relationship between house and garden.
In brief
To begin: send existing plans, photographs, available surveys and your priorities for use. A visit then distinguishes what can be kept, repaired or transformed, before the commission is defined in stages.
The project seeks coherence between what is retained, repaired or transformed. The study covers circulation, openings, daylight, solar protection and continuity with outdoor spaces. A potential extension is considered as part of the overall composition, after reviewing the property and the applicable rules.
For the initial review, the owner can provide existing plans, photographs, available surveys and a brief describing uses and priorities. Depending on the commission, the studio produces a survey, sketch and developed design, planning or tender documents, and supports architectural decisions during construction.
Atelier Nérée supports villa owners in Cap d’Antibes. Cécile Dupré guides the client through the reading of the existing building, choices between renovation and transformation, and the progressive definition of an appropriate scope.
A visit and review of available plans help identify the building’s qualities, usability issues and technical matters requiring investigation before design starts.
It can be studied together with the house, interiors and garden. Feasibility depends on the property and applicable rules, which must be checked before the design is fixed.
Depending on the property, the study can address exposure, solar protection, ventilation, the envelope and material performance. Conclusions follow the survey rather than a standard solution.
Plans, photographs, the address, available surveys and the intended brief are a useful basis. Missing information is identified at the start of the commission.
