The Design
About Selectum Babil Bostadskomplex
Selectum Babil är ett bostadskomplex utformat med ett femstjärnigt hotellkoncept i ett turistdistrikt i Antalya. Projektet kombinerar bostadsenheter, kommersiella ytor och gemensamma sociala anläggningar. Två huskroppar rymmer 97 enheter i Block A och 84 enheter i Block B, med en takhöjd på 3,30 m. Det arkitektoniska greppet hämtar inspiration från Babylons hängande trädgårdar, med grönska placerad på terrassnivåerna. Gemensamma bekvämligheter inkluderar inomhus- och utomhuspooler, spa, restaurang, gym och bar. Ägarna betalar en delad avgift för att få tillgång till hotelltjänsterna.

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.
