About Selectum Babil Whare Noho Nui
Ko Selectum Babil he whare noho nui i hoahoatia ki te ariā hōtera whetū-rima i tētahi rohe tāpoi o Antalya. Ko tēnei whakawhanaketanga e whakakotahi ana i ngā wāhanga noho, ngā rohe arumoni me ngā whare tautoko hapori tuari. E rua ngā poraka e pupuri ana i te 97 wāhanga i te Poraka A, me te 84 wāhanga i te Poraka B, me te teitei tuanui o 3.30 mita. Ko te huarahi hoahoa whare e tō ana i te whakaaro nui mai i nga Māra Iri o Papurona, e whakanoho ana i te kākāriki ki ngā papa terehe. Ko ngā rawa tuari ka whakauru mai i ngā puna kaukau o roto me te taiwhanga, he wai whakaora tinana, he wharekai, he whare whakapakari tinana me te pā waipiro. Ka utu ngā rangatira whare i tētahi utu tuari kia whai wāhi atu ai ki ngā ratonga hōtera.

- 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.
- Inspiration

- Project Duration

- Operation Flow
