DOM3 PRIZE_

In its pursuit of excellence DOM3 is pleased to announce the fourth edition of the Architecture Award DOM3 PRIZE for the design of world class housing developments.

World-class housing, villas and apartments, are the characteristics of excellence in this area, the flagship of urban planning in Marbella and its influential surroundings.

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 The Businessmen’s Association for High-End Housing (DOM3) brings together entrepreneurs and professionals with expertise in various fields, united by a common interest such as promoting actions to preserve and encourage the business of design, development and construction of high quality housing in Marbella, Estepona, Benahavis and their sphere of influence.

DOM3 believes in the exchange of information, in mutual cooperation and combined action as a vector for the development of the sector as well as of Marbella’s tourism brand.

1.2 In their pursuit of excellence, DOM3 is pleased to announce the third edition of the Architecture Award DOM3 PRIZE on the design of high-end housing developments.

High-end housing developments, both for villas and apartments, are the typologies par excellence and the flagship of urban planning in this area. It should be highlighted that the amount of revenue generated by residential tourists owning these upmarket units has a large impact on the local economy.

In this third edition of the DOM3 PRIZE, a plot for the development of an architectural group of apartments on Avenida Litoral de Estepona is available to the contestants. This plot enjoys a prime location on the sea-front and in an urban environment with unsurpassable views over the Mediterranean.

2 PURPOSE AND LOCATION

2.1 The purpose of this award is to promote development of high-end housing projects in our area as a destination for residential tourism whilst at the same time strengthening and consolidating on an international level trademarks taking part in these projects.

2.2 The proposal is to reflect on high-end housing whilst at the same time striving for excellence in design, opening a debate on this type of modern and contemporary architecture, on beauty, sustainability and respect for the environment. On that basis, participants will be able to develop particularly interesting projects. The intention therefore, apart from this privileged and perfect setting, is to inspire the creation of an architectural project of apartments where contestants manage to unify architecture, landscaping and interior design.

2.3 The location of the plot proposed for the prize is indicated in zipApendix 1, together with the mandatory urban planning regulations. The plot represents 10395.27 sq. All of their features will be available in the Technical Specifications list annexed to these rules.
