Matter, light, duration.

Across the Mediterranean, from the French Riviera and Provence to Marbella, Ibiza and the Balearics, Atelier Cantera designs private luxury villas, residences and boutique hotels.

Founded in 2024 by Gabriel Chaussée Jiménez, a French-Mexican architect trained at the École Spéciale d'Architecture in Paris. The studio leads every project from first sketch to on-site supervision, architecture and interiors under one hand, in English, French and Spanish.

Local stone, lime and solid wood rather than veneer. An architecture that takes its material from each site and its climate, built to grow more beautiful over the decades rather than to date.
