ARCHITECTURE LORD NORMAN FOSTER’S Club de Yacht BY MÉLANIE BALSANE Monaco YACHT CLUB DE MONACO, SIGNÉ LORD NORMAN FOSTER years. That’s how much time has passed since word of the new building was first uttered and its completed version unveiled. Six years of design, an equal number of construction. There was no bidding war; it was a private order on the part of the Sovereign ttwelve Prince himself. Between Albert II of Monaco and Norman Foster, a shared vision and dialogue the architect would describe as fruitful. While the Foster + Partners firm remains the project initiator, that team worked with Monegasque architect Alexandre Giraldi, supervised by the Department of Public Works. An HQE liner In the middle of Port Hercule, opening onto the Mediterranean and on the very edge of downtown, this gigantic ship, stretching 204 meters in length, seems to perch on the water. Yachting has become a state of mind in the Principality, a philosophy, a way of life. Forget not that the first regatta took place here in 1862. In the 21st century, technology is now the willing servant of the imagination. For Lord Norman Foster, after months of research and computer simulations, the image of a colossal liner was a supremely logical choice. This vision took shape, with 4,000 square meters of terraces resembling the decks of a vessel and a landscaped roof that impeccably integrates with the existing structures. As would a sailor, the British architect composed with the elements of nature, sun, wind. He played with shadow and light, tracing strong horizontal lines, blending Monaco’s traditional spirit with a timeless, international, contemporary flair. The building offers a clever mix of “in & out,” public areas, and more intimate spaces. It rubs shoulders with excess without ever entirely embracing it. True, the spiral staircase suspended from the ceiling is monumental and, yes, the pool with the retractable bottom is spectacular, as is the champagne bar designed by Nelson Wilmotte. Utterly distinctive in the landscape, 75 75
