Architectural stakes in Nice
In Nice, the heights of Cimiez, Mont Boron and Fabron offer exceptional views but call for projects designed around terrain, slope, orientation and light. The historic urban fabric and the local PLU require a precise approach tailored to each plot.

Atelier Nérée works on contemporary villas, renovations of existing villas, extensions, interior restructurings, opening to the sea view, terraces, swimming pools, guest houses and the enhancement of prestige properties.
From feasibility to planning permission

Contemporary Mediterranean architecture
The project works with natural light and shade, natural ventilation, stone, mineral renders, wood and concrete. Spaces are designed in continuity with the Mediterranean garden, for lasting landscape integration.
Each project in Nice is designed in close relation to terrain, urban landscape and Mediterranean light.
Architect or villa builder?
A villa builder generally offers a framed answer built around a construction system, a catalogue or a network of contractors. An architect designs a bespoke answer from the site, the brief, the planning constraints, the heritage value of the property and the way the owners will live in it. For a luxury villa on the French Riviera, working with an architect means controlling the siting, the views, the volumes, the materials, the permits and the overall coherence of the project.
Atelier Nérée works as an architecture studio: design, permits and project supervision, in coordination with the appointed contractors.
Why consult Atelier Nérée?

- Bespoke design, adjusted to the brief, to daily use and to Mediterranean light.
- Planning anticipated: urban-planning rules built into the design from the first sketch, files prepared for assessment.
- Continuous support, from the feasibility study to the administrative file and contractor follow-up.
