Architectural metalwork in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat
For coastal properties, F. Labbé develops metalwork that preserves important views, continues the architectural language and takes marine exposure seriously.

Local project conditions
Preserve the view without compromising protection or durability.
In Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Beaulieu-sur-Mer and Villefranche-sur-Mer, gates, balustrades and pergolas are often seen from several parts of the property. Their lines need to work from the road, garden, terrace and principal rooms of the villa.
Proximity to the sea affects more than the choice of metal. We examine places where salt and water might collect, contact between different metals, drainage details and whether all exposed surfaces can be reached for routine cleaning.
The design may be contemporary, reinterpret an existing historic motif or combine steel, stainless steel, glass, timber and stone. The right answer follows the building and the required degree of transparency rather than a standard workshop model.
Frequently commissioned
Metalwork developed for the building and its setting.
Gates & pedestrian gates
Bespoke steel, wrought-iron and stainless-steel gates, designed, made and installed in Nice for properties across the French Riviera.
Pergolas
Bespoke steel, wrought-iron and stainless-steel pergolas designed to shade terraces, structure gardens and extend Riviera architecture outdoors.
Design office · Workshop · Installation
A precise study before any component is made.
The survey records dimensions, levels, supports and views that must remain open. Balustrade post positions are checked from the living spaces, while a gate is considered as part of the complete entrance rather than as an isolated panel.
Our design office prepares fabrication, anchoring and interface details. Where colour and texture are critical, finish samples can be considered in the natural light of the property before the final specification is agreed.
The work is then made in our Nice workshop. Installation is organised to protect finished stone, terraces, planting and other completed features around the villa.

Practical questions
Working with F. Labbé in this area.
Do you work in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat?
Yes. F. Labbé undertakes suitable projects in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Villefranche-sur-Mer and across the eastern Alpes-Maritimes.
How can a balustrade preserve the view?
Post positions, profile sizes and infill are studied from the main viewpoints while fully respecting the protection and structural requirements of the project.
What maintenance is needed by the sea?
The frequency depends on exposure to salt spray and rain. We design accessible surfaces and provide care guidance suited to the selected metal and finish.
