Odeon Tower, High-rise building in La Rousse district, Monaco.
Odeon Tower is a high-rise building in La Rousse with two connected towers reaching 170 meters across 49 floors. The structure houses 259 apartments, a spa center, swimming pool, and business facilities within its footprint.
Construction was authorized by Prince Albert II in 2009, marking a turning point for Monaco's building policies. This decision lifted the previous restriction on high-rises that had been in place since the 1980s.
The entrance hall displays sculptures by artist Mateo Mornar, showing how contemporary art is woven into the building's spaces. Visitors passing through can see how creative pieces blend with the modern architecture.
The building sits on a steep hillside, which shapes how you move through and around the space. Its location near public areas and amenities makes it accessible to most visitors.
The foundation extends 50 meters deep underground with a specialized diaphragm wall system engineered to manage the steep slope. This hidden engineering feat demonstrates how modern techniques allow construction on challenging terrain.
