Landscape architect for second homes on the French Riviera
Owning a second home on the French Riviera is an invitation to embrace an exceptional Mediterranean lifestyle. At Studio Mathieu Besnier, every landscape architect project begins with a simple ambition: to create timeless outdoor spaces where architecture, native nature and the spirit of Provence come together in perfect harmony. Our gardens are designed as peaceful retreats, offering elegant outdoor living design that enhances both daily life and the long-term value of your property.
After nearly ten years in California studying and practicing landscape design in a Mediterranean climate similar to the Côte d’Azur, Mathieu Besnier founded the studio with a clear vision: creating authentic, water-wise gardens deeply rooted in their surroundings. Today, our garden designer and landscape architect approach blends Provençal landscapes, garrigue vegetation, natural stone and refined architectural lines into immersive spaces inspired by the region around Nice. Every mediterranean garden is carefully tailored to its site, using climate-adapted planting, noble materials and thoughtful circulation to create a seamless transition between the villa and its landscape. Detailed sketches, technical plans and close collaboration with skilled local craftsmen ensure that every stage of the project reflects the original design intent and delivers outstanding outdoor living design.
Whether your residence is used year-round or only a few months each year, our landscape architect studio creates sustainable gardens that remain beautiful with minimal maintenance. Across the French Riviera, we oversee every detail to ensure durability, elegance and lasting harmony. If you are planning a landscape project in Nice, Cannes, Antibes, Mougins, Valbonne, Biot, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Saint-Paul-de-Vence or nearby, we would be delighted to discuss your vision and design an exceptional outdoor living design experience for your property on the French Riviera.
