odeon tower is newest addition to monaco's skyline since the 1980s
soaring 170 meters into the sky, the ‘odeon tower (tour odeon)‘ currently under construction is the first skyscraper to be built in monaco’s skyline since the 1980s. designed by local architect alexandre giraldi, the new high-rise will contain 70 apartments ranging from 1 to 6 bedrooms and 2 sky duplexes around 1200 square meters each, which still hold no comparison to the 5 story sky penthouse complete with a private rooftop swimming pool accessible by a slide directly from the house.

what kind of illegal activities I have to do to live here; and above all to appreciate this architecture?
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.
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.
