Sam Bakr – Architect – NEW houses – pool – renovation

Our practice has been operating in St. Rémy de Provence since 1990 and we specialise in the conception and building of private homes: New build ; rénovations, beautiful swimming pools and landscaped gardens…. We work principally in the ‘Alpilles’ region and the beautiful towns and villages around – Les Baux de Provence, Maussane les Alpilles, Eygalières, les Paradou etc..

How we work: In full collaboration with our clients to achieve their homes and dreams. While the emphasis is always on achieving a very high quality of design, our starting point has always been to listen to our clients requirements, to interpret their needs and suggest solutions. The practice is bi-lingual with a very divers clientelle – British, American, German, Danish etc. as well as French, and hence a wide range of cultural needs and desires.

Experience: We have long standing knowledge with the local contractors and artisans in the area and only work with trusted and reputable organisations and over the years we have identified the best of these. Selecting the right ‘maçon’ to renovate a 200 year old barn or the experienced carpenter to craft your windows, cupboards, kitchen etc. will make all the difference.

Planning: We also have a very good understanding of the local planning laws and regulations and can advise on how to navigate the adminstrative proceedures to achieve the necessary consents and approvals.

Overall service: As well as the general and overall conception and design, we devote a great deal of attention to the details and the materials used. In consultation with our clients we provide the full service : Advice on planning issues and constraints ; The design process leading to planning submission and consents ; Selection of the appropriate contractors and sub-contractors and full project management from inception to completion.
