A development in Gibraltar has scooped three international awards for its architecture and design. Ocean Village won Best High-Rise Architecture, Best Interior Design and Best Apartment at the CNBC Europe & Africa Property Awards 2008.
The accolade for Best High-Rise Architecture recognised the distinctive design of Royal Ocean Plaza, featuring balconies of blue glass surrounding the expansive terraces of each apartment. The judges were also impressed by innovations of construction, the provision of large communal spaces and the integration with landscaped gardens and pools.
“We are absolutely delighted to have beaten off stiff international competition to win these awards,” said Gregory Butcher, Chairman of Ocean Village. The project — whose foundations feature SEA-Tech mini pile applications — went on to be considered for the Best International Property Awards in the World.
