The extension of the Seaside of Monaco will be a huge urban renewal for the city. The idea comes directly from the will of the Prince Albert; the new territory will lead the city into the future, preserving its own legend.

The main project’s goal is to create a new neighbourhood which respects the surrounding environment in a tight connection with the sea. 8 new kilometres of coast has been planned, 7 of those will be treated as pedestrian paths.

Two different submarine foundation techniques (the partial ballast and the construction over concrete boxes) have been adopted to avoid the contamination of the oceans bottoms. The ballast is used where the sea’s depth is lower then 40 meters and it allows the construction of building with classical foundations’ technique.

A protection barrier against a 4 meters height wave, whose frequency happens every century, surrounds the whole project creating pedestrian walks.
