About Selectum Babil Príomh-Fheidhm Chónaithe
Is ionad cónaithe é Selectum Babil a dearadh le coincheap óstáin cúig réalta i gceantar turasóireachta Antalya. Comhcheanglaíonn an fhorbairt aonaid chónaithe, limistéir tráchtála agus áiseanna sóisialta comhroinnte. Tá 97 n-aonad i mBloc A agus 84 aonad i mBloc B, agus airde uasteorainn 3.30 m acu. Tarraingíonn an cur chuige ailtireachta inspioráid ó Ghairdíní Crochta na Bablóine, ag cur glasraí ar leibhéil na dtaráis. I measc na n-áiseanna comhroinnte tá linnte snámha laistigh agus lasmuigh, spá, bialann, giomnáisiam agus beár. Íocann úinéirí táille chomhroinnte chun rochtain a fháil ar sheirbhísí an óstáin.

Kitchens include built-in appliances by Siemens, Franke, or Samsung; wet areas use Grohe, Hansgrohe, or Vitra fixtures.
- Design Challenge
- The greatest challenge during the design process was obtaining approval from local authorities for a concept not previously present in Antalya. Technical staff struggled to understand solutions combining residential units within a large hotel concept. The project frequently faced questions about how residential and hotel functions would coexist.
- Research
- The project is a two-block development designed as a five-star hotel concept featuring luxury villas. It offers shared amenities including indoor and outdoor pools, spa, restaurant, gym, bar, and mini club. Owners benefit from hotel services through a shared fee, covering facilities from laundry to buffet dining. Construction began after the permit was granted in February 2025 and is currently at the structural shell stage.
