JNM ARCHITECTURE is available for new projects

Jonathan Monier is a state-qualified architect, holds the French HMONP qualification (Accreditation to Exercise Project Management in One’s Own Name) and is registered with the French Order of Architects. He is the founder and director of JNM Architecture, an architectural practice based in Toulon, working throughout the Var department and along the French Riviera.

Before establishing his own practice, he spent sixteen years working on large-scale public and private projects, involving construction budgets worth several million euros. This experience has given him a strong technical and regulatory background, including in-depth knowledge of local urban planning regulations (PLU), building standards, fire safety, accessibility requirements and the management of contractors during the construction phase.

JNM Architecture supports clients throughout every stage of the architectural and project management process, from initial sketches to final handover. The practice designs new-build villas, extensions and additional storeys, and undertakes the refurbishment of houses and apartments. It also carries out feasibility studies prior to property purchases or construction work, helping clients make informed and secure decisions.

The practice prepares and submits all necessary planning applications, including building permits and prior declarations of works, as well as applications to regularise unauthorised or non-compliant construction. It also works on projects involving buildings open to the public (ERP).

During the construction phase, Jonathan Monier oversees the execution of construction contracts (DET), as well as the scheduling, management and coordination of construction works (OPC). This includes regular progress reports and rigorous financial monitoring.

As an energy auditor specialising in multi-unit residential buildings, he also incorporates thermal performance and summer comfort considerations from the earliest design stages — particularly important challenges in the Mediterranean climate.

His approach is based on three fundamental principles: carefully understanding the client's needs and budget, verifying the project's regulatory feasibility at an early stage, and meeting agreed cost and time commitments. Every recommendation is clearly explained and supported by the relevant regulations and applicable standards.

JNM Architecture holds professional indemnity insurance and ten-year structural liability insurance through the French Architects' Insurance Mutual (Mutuelle des Architectes Français – MAF).

Whether you are planning to build a villa, renovate an older property, extend or add an additional storey to an existing building, or regularise previous construction work, Jonathan Monier carefully assesses each request and proposes a service tailored to both the project and your budget.
