Expert in Mediterranean Dry Gardens Serving Antibes with 20 Years of Experience
Studio Mathieu Besnier brings its expertise in sustainable Mediterranean landscaping to Antibes, creating drought-resistant gardens that blend elegance with environmental responsibility. Based in the French Riviera hinterland, our studio specializes in landscape design that transforms outdoor spaces into living sanctuaries, while our project portfolio showcases unique creations tailored to the Mediterranean climate.
Founded by Mathieu Besnier after a transformative decade in California studying Japanese garden art and aesthetic pruning, the studio has been crafting exceptional dry gardens since 2015. This international experience, combined with constant exposure to drought conditions, shaped a unique approach to water-wise landscaping… one that perfectly suits Antibes’ Mediterranean environment.
Our philosophy merges contemporary design with Wabi-Sabi principles, creating gardens that aren’t mere decorative elements but authentic living spaces. We select noble materials that age gracefully and curate drought-tolerant plant palettes that celebrate the natural beauty of Mediterranean vegetation. Each project becomes a harmonious dialogue between architecture and nature.
What sets us apart? A comprehensive approach spanning from initial conception to long-term maintenance, technical expertise backed by detailed specifications, and close collaboration with carefully selected local craftsmen. Our gardens aren’t just designed to survive dry conditions—they thrive in them, developing character and biodiversity over time.
Antibes’ unique coastal position and microclimate require specific understanding of salt exposure, mistral winds, and seasonal water restrictions. Our experience across the Alpes-Maritimes region has taught us to work with these natural constraints rather than against them, creating resilient landscapes that honor the local terroir.
Ready to transform your outdoor space into a stunning dry garden that celebrates Antibes’ Mediterranean essence? Let’s discuss how we can create a sustainable oasis that will flourish for years to come.
