A Mediterranean-inspired landscape where architectural precision, lush vegetation and the timeless elegance of a Basque residence come together to create a refined art of living.
In Biarritz, this distinctive property reveals a landscaped garden conceived as a natural extension of its architecture. Designed by Sébastien Habert, the project draws inspiration from the elegance of Mediterranean gardens while preserving the unique character of the residence, with its light-coloured façades, dark shutters and neoclassical-inspired arches.
The composition unfolds around a geometrically designed swimming pool, a reflecting surface whose shimmering waters extend the architectural perspectives of the house. The natural stone tones of the terrace emphasise the purity of the design, establishing a harmonious dialogue between architecture, planting and light.
The selection of plants reflects a careful balance between structure and exuberance. Slender cypress trees accentuate the architectural volumes, while sculptural agaves, carefully clipped evergreen shrubs and white hydrangeas create a generous landscape, where contrasting forms and textures reveal the richness of the planting.
Climbing plants follow the lines of the façade, softening the architectural structure and gradually integrating the residence into its landscaped surroundings. Each planting contributes to a carefully orchestrated composition, where perspectives are thoughtfully framed and botanical volumes are considered in relation to the surrounding space.
Around the pool, timeless outdoor furniture, complemented by elegantly shaped parasols, defines a series of inviting relaxation areas. The understated materials, soft neutral tones and deep green foliage create an atmosphere that is both refined and effortlessly relaxed, reflecting the distinctive art of living on the Basque Coast.
Through this project, Sébastien Habert expresses a sensitive vision of landscape architecture in Biarritz, where the precision of design meets the spontaneous beauty of nature, and every element contributes to the harmony of the setting.
An authored garden, conceived as a living architecture, where the beauty of the landscape becomes an essential part of the art of living.
