The Philharmonic Hall in Monte Carlo was chosen as the basis of the project, which by its beauty occupies one of the first places in Europe. An abundance of terraces, verandas, where light and shadow are the means of plastic expression of bulk masses, the building resembles an Italian villa of the Renaissance and fits perfectly not only in the composition of the governor’s garden but also in the entire surrounding architectural landscape.
