Ensure the eco-efficiency of all dimensions and providers of the project.

Ensure the "eco-efficiency" of all dimensions and providers of the project. Our concept draws its fundamental principles from the heart of the natural site, from the morphology of the city, from its history closely linked to the Mediterranean, and from the depths of this bay so rich in its underwater biodiversity. To design a new urbanism, to best respond to the human and environmental challenges posed by the expansion of the Principality, we have mobilized an international and multidisciplinary team, composed of the best experts in their field, passionate about the sea, and inhabited by the same desire to build the Mediterranean future with respect for its history, its identity and its environment.

We based ourselves on an in-depth analysis and worldwide experience of urbanism and construction at sea.

We based ourselves on an in-depth analysis and worldwide experience of urbanism and construction at sea, research and the latest technological advances in this field. Our approach stems from three axes of reflection:

  • The unique character of the Principality : a natural amphitheater and its founding districts.
  • Sustainable, environmental, economic and social commitment.
  • Invention and innovation.
