Monaco Prince’s Palace extension
More office space is being created without changing the exterior. At last an explanation from the Prince’s Palace in Monaco concerning the crane that has loomed large over it for the last two months. Prince Albert II and his team are badly in need of more office space, and architect Michel Chiappori has come up with a way to make 3,200sqm available for the project. 
It is all taking place in a triangular area behind a tower on the north face of the Palace courtyard which is being converted into a five-level administrative block without altering the exterior. Offices, meeting rooms and storage space are being created, with solar panels installed to heat the water. Completion is expected by the summer of 2008
