unbelievable that there hasn’t been a new tower since the 80’s and this is what is proposed, a post modern, tasteless 80’s looking tower, looking more suited to one of the smaller cities in mainland china….
blue tinted glass with white mullions has been a design faux pas for the last 20 years, and claiming that architect is a master of contemporary European architecture is simply a joke, especially after perusing his other heavy handed, post modern and still born “creations”. What a wasted opportunity in Monaco, such a shame.
Blech. How is this a masterful work of contemporary European architecture? Like every other luxury condo high rise in the world. And, even if I was looking to drop 9-figs on a penthouse in a tax haven, not sure I want my panoramic view of the Med ruined by totally unnecessary triangles of glass jutting two stories above the roofline. Also destroys the effect of the whole infinity-pool design. Also, what’s with the gashing division on the balcony façades between glass and white render: why do architects do that? Looks like a plasticky tower in San Diego or a B-list building in the Dubai Marina. I’m sure it will sell out quick to tax dodgers but it’s more Coronado than Corniche.
what kind of illegal activities I have to do to live here; and above all to appreciate this architecture?
