Palace hotel terraces
Solid teak, multi-level terraces running along the façade of the Hotel Martinez in Cannes — a landmark address on the Croisette — delivered as part of the hotel’s wider renovation programme. The scope went well beyond flat decking: stepped changes of level between terraces, integrated bench seating and surrounds built around the planters, all resolved in the same continuous language of teak.
Work of this kind is measured against a hospitality standard rather than a marine one. Sightlines are long and public, the timber sits directly underfoot for guests, and the margins around steps, benches and planters are where the eye settles — so every interface had to be clean, flush and consistent from one level to the next. Fabrication and installation were carried out on site, sequenced around an operating renovation with the access and phasing constraints that implies.
The finished terraces give the façade a warm, uniform teak surface that ties the levels together, wears predictably under heavy footfall, and can be sanded and maintained for decades rather than resurfaced. A deck detailed to the expectations of a palace hotel, in a material chosen to age gracefully in full sun and sea air.
The correct intervention starts with the correct diagnosis.
