On this steep plot surrounded by houses, the challenge was above all to create a practicable space: to create flat surfaces by means of terraces, to hold the ground with the support of rock walls, to opt for staircases and to play with the levels of the terraces. Once this was done, we had to find the garden's soul, its character, and here, wild nature was almost detonated. So we opted for refined pruning and playful designs: a garden of plant sculptures, culminating in a majestic three-hundred-year-old olive tree. And yes, in Saint-Tropez, everything has to be... spectacular.Between the terrace and the landscape of the bay, the old olive tree cut "in clouds" is the real star of the garden. Twenty meters of difference in height between the entrance to the garden from the street and its highest point; two responses: a staircase made to measure and then planted with vegetation for direct access to the terrace, and a beautifully winding pathway that circles the house and gradually rises. Another choice, born of the constraints of the terrain, is the change of rhythm between the verticality of the rocks, cypresses and boulders that make up the architecture of the house and an almost flat surface below, left free of any planting. And of course, the umbrella pines, yuccas and dasylirions are there. It couldn't be any other way, in Saint-Tropez.
