Projects by PFID - Patricia Fonseca Interior Design in Nice, Cannes, and throughout the French Riviera

A young couple who owned this beautiful 198 m² bourgeois apartment in central Nice wanted to divide it into two. On the one hand, a large three-room apartment with a completely open living area and a beautiful wine cellar as the highlight, a master bedroom with a large dressing room, bathroom, steam room, and gym. On the other hand (with the possibility of reuniting them one day), a spacious two-room apartment to welcome friends and family in complete independence.

When the client first contacted me, he was looking for a pied-à-terre in the port district of Nice for himself and his family.

After two days of searching, he called me back to tell me he had found the perfect place! The client, an Australian living in Singapore, was passionate about interior design and already had solid experience in renovation and interior design, but he needed someone he could trust to see his project through while he was on the other side of the world. We hit it off right away, and so we set off on this wonderful adventure.

The project did not involve any major structural changes, but everything had to be redone from floor to ceiling. The old flooring was completely removed and replaced with herringbone parquet. We put a lot of work into the colors, particularly for all the custom-made furniture designed for each room in this apartment.

Another great collaboration with clients who were abroad during the project design and construction phase.

They placed their complete trust in us and gave us carte blanche for this high-end project located in Cannes.

The specifications were simply to design a refined project that was also relaxed and comfortable for the family.

We transformed this apartment with a garden, ideally located in Cannes, into an elegant and bright pied-à-terre, placing essential values at the heart of our approach: quality, attentiveness, and respect for the environment. The apartment was in its original condition and the garden, although promising, was completely neglected.  We optimized every space: creating a custom-made headboard closet with plenty of storage, opening up the kitchen to the living room to maximize light and conviviality. Outside, we redesigned the central driveway and added a step to delineate a separate dining area. The environmentally friendly landscaping was enhanced by the addition of spot lighting and carefully selected Mediterranean plants, making the garden welcoming and conducive to relaxation.

A couple wanted to renovate an apartment to suit their lifestyle. The space needed to feel fluid and open. The client wanted a semi-open kitchen that didn't look like a kitchen at all.

The specifications also called for a large dressing room, two shower rooms (one for the lady of the house and one for the gentleman), and above all, an architectural and decorative design that would incorporate the owners' numerous works of art.

A beautiful, typically Provençal villa needed a little facelift.  The terrace needed to be completely redesigned, as did the master bedroom. We replaced the windows with double glazing and opted for anthracite black for the window frames and shutters to give a more contemporary look. The window in the master bedroom was replaced with a French window to let in more light and to balance the façade and make it more harmonious.

For the terrace floor, we chose Burgundy stone. The bedroom, meanwhile, has a contemporary and timeless look.

At the request of a young couple, this beautiful bourgeois apartment in central Nice was divided into two.

On one side, a large three-room apartment and on the other (with the possibility of combining them one day), a spacious two-room apartment for entertaining friends and family in complete independence.
