Henri or Henry Martinet is known by his work as an architect / real estate / landscape designer. He created both Regina Hotels in Biarritz or Panorama in the Pyrenees, the Garden of Parc Beaumont in Pau and Imperial gardens in Japan, but mostly he was the real estate of Hendaye Plage with its famous marina. So when the crazy project to transform Anglet in “Bayonne-Plage” on the model of Atlantic beach resorts, He was naturally requested. This project will not happen, but there is this wonderful pencil, pastel and watercolor drawing. Framed. There is an other architect project at The Basque Museum in Bayonne.
