SMEG’s headquarters, Monaco

Reasserting a corporate identity through the renovation of the current building

Located in the Fontvieille district of Monaco, the project for the new headquarters of SMEG, the Monegasque Electricity and Gas Company, is located in a key area between the port and the cliff.

The 13,400 m² project is being developed partly in an existing building, consisting of 9 floors and 3 levels of parking, which is now equipped with a 4-storey elevation overhung by a terrace.

The architectural concept focuses on two main issues: the upgrading of the existing building and the creation of a new SMEG identity more in line with its values.

In the renovated part, the redefinition of the core position frees up the office space to increase the amount of natural light and consequently to reduce the need for artificial lighting.

The new SMEG headquarters offers a skyline with the city of Monaco and is perfectly integrated into the immediate urban fabric thanks to its base. The elevation in “light” structure written by a succession of facade elements, defines the crowning of the building in the Monegasque skyline.
