No Finish Line final results for the Monaco Projects sponsored team

Many congratulations from Monaco Projects to everyone in the PussyFootingAround Team for their amazing results at the end of the No Finish Line 2016 event.

The statistics are very impressive.  Our top finisher, Adrian Mac Dermott covered 608 KM and finished 15th in the whole event.  Each of the Rolfe children, Emily (233KM), Alice (170KM) and Izzy (147KM) finished 1st in their age classes.

Izzy even spent her 11th birthday doing laps and managed to squeeze in a birthday cake at the team tent.

Overall each team member managed an average of 62km and the team ended up in 12th position with a very impressive total of over 6,000km!

Participants in this year’s No Finish Line event covered 392,516km, further than the target of the distance from the Earth to the Moon!  This means that €392,516 was raised for the Children and Future Charity http://childrenandfuture.com/no-finish-line/.  Well done to all concerned.

Monaco Projects sponsors charity No Finish Line Monaco 2016 team

Monaco Projects is sponsoring the PussyFootingAround team, aiming to help it reach its fundraising target at the 2016 No Finish Line charity event that is taking place in Monaco from 12th to 20th November 2016.

No Finish Line is an event organised by Children and Future http://childrenandfuture.com/no-finish-line/, a charity that supports underprivileged and sick children. The charity provides funds to carry out cardiac operations to repair genetic defects in children from developing countries.

For every kilometre covered by participants €1 is donated to Children and Future. The aim for 2016 is to cover 384,400km, the distance from the Earth to the Moon. Our team has already covered 3,068km and we are aiming for a top 10 position in 2016, a very impressive objective given the relatively small size of the team of 80 members!

Thirty Nine Monte Carlo Spin Room

Monaco Projects has installed the latest technology to ensure that spin classes at the Thirty Nine Monte Carlo members’ club are exhilarating, fun and competitive.

Sophisticated electronic systems synchronise the colours and the flashing of the LED lights to the music in the fully-soundproofed room.

The enormous screen shows either constantly changing dynamic patterns or the heart outputs and revolutions per minute of all the riders – perfect for encouraging competition and that extra bit of performance!

For those wanting to take spinning to the next level, the hi-tech room can also change in altitude. Failsafe systems adjust the levels of nitrogen in the air to simulate exercising at altitudes of up to 5,000m – that is about the level of the Everest base camp.

This altitude training enables riders’ bodies to perform more efficiently with less oxygen. When they “return” to sea level, performance is significantly enhanced in the oxygen-rich air.

The spin room is one of two altitude rooms installed by Monaco Projects at Thirty Nine Monte Carlo. Members can be instructed in the large training room at up to 5,000m in altitude on weights, bikes, rowing and running machines.

Buying a property in Monaco? Expert renovation advice before you buy

Buying Property Monaco, Properties for sale Monaco, Builders Monaco, Construction Monaco

Expert advice before buying your property in Monaco and the Côte d’Azur

Monaco Projects offers a unique new product for clients in Monaco and the Côte d’Azur, the Property Pre-purchase Advice Service.

Rozz Marcel, MD of Monaco Projects explains: “we often become involved in a client’s renovation or interior design project after the property has been purchased, when the client has learned to their dismay that the modifications that they hoped to carry out will not gain the approval of the planning authorities, or that the works will cost significantly more than expected.

We can attend property viewings with purchasers to give immediate advice on the feasibility and costs of a project. This refundable fee-based service will give enormous reassurance to clients and help them buy the correct property at the correct price.” Please feel free to contact us if you are thinking of buying a property in Monaco.

The Project Manager – an orchestral conductor for your renovation

I have been a project manager of luxury residential and business property renovations in Monaco and the Côte d’Azur for the last 15 years and I have been asked the question many times: why would I need a project manager if I employ a main contractor?

In response to this question, I liken myself to the conductor of an orchestra. You can have the best musicians in the world; however, without a conductor, your musicians will not start or finish at the correct times, and the music they produce will be discordant.

what is project management, home renovation, Thirty Nine Monte Carlo, Renovation Companies Monaco, Construction Monaco

Project management of Thirty Nine Monte Carlo

I help the client to select the most talented professionals for the project and oversee all aspects of the renovation works, from planning applications and sourcing products to management of costs to ensure that your renovation is completed on time and on budget.

To return to the conductor analogy, my role is to set the tempo of the orchestra and to shape their performance in order to produce a work of the highest quality for the client.

Bar and dining area at Thirty Nine Monte Carlo

This has been particularly relevant in our current project, the creation of THIRTY NINE Monte Carlo (http://www.39montecarlo.com), a new luxury lifestyle members’ club in Monaco with state-of-the-art sports floor. It has been necessary, over the last 2 years, to organise in excess of 200 contractor and supplier “musicians” from all sections of the orchestra to create a harmonious symphony, ahead of its opening performance in September 2016.

Thirty Nine Monte Carlo – train at 4,000m altitude – at sea level!

Monaco Projects has just completed final commissioning of the 2 altitude training rooms at THIRTY NINE Monte Carlo http://www.39montecarlo.com, a new luxury lifestyle members’ club with state-of-the-art sports floor which is being project-managed by Monaco Projects.

The highly specialist equipment adjusts the oxygen and nitrogen levels in the air of the training rooms to simulate different altitudes. This enables users’ bodies to adapt to training with less oxygen at up to 4,000m above sea level so that when they “return” to sea level their body is “turbo-charged” with the higher levels of oxygen.

This training method provides a performance advantage to professional athletes and keen amateurs. It is just one of the specialist training aids being installed in THIRTY NINE, which is located on the Larvotto beachfront in Monaco, and which opens in September 2016.

Interior Design Impressions from the Milan Furniture Fair

Our team has just returned from a visit to the world-famous Milan Furniture Fair to explore the latest in interior design, furniture, bathroom and kitchen fashion and trends and to speak to the most exciting new suppliers in the marketplace.

In the furniture section of the show, we saw an increasing retro feel using fifties and sixties styling, with a modern twist, using high quality fabrics and leathers. What was most impressive were the suppliers of solid wood furniture for kitchens and gardens, with one manufacturer infilling wood with transparent resin to dramatic effect in their very thick, very solid, kitchen tables and worktops.

In the bathrooms section, we loved the bronze and copper finishes for bathtubs, a number of extremely innovative towel rails, with as much artistic impact as practical effect, and some beautiful sinks in stone and resin. One bathtub was even covered in fabric on the outside – interesting, but probably not appropriate for every client!

We returned with a wealth of catalogues and new, fresh, contacts ensuring that we can give our clients access to the most up to date and breath-taking high quality furniture, fixtures and fittings.
