Speaking with Tribune Business yesterday, Wim Steenbakkers, managing director of Cotton Bay, said that at the moment things are "busy busy busy" at the resort. He said the 150 contractors and sub-contractors were litkr with the completion of construction of villas, the pool and clubhouse lind ensuring that the infrastructure to support the multi-million dollar project was in place. Mr Steenbakkers said that, at current pace, the resort is poised to be ready for a grand opening by the end of the first quarter 2008. Recently, Cotton Bay held a Young Architect Design Competition, with the winning plans to be submitted as choices for future residents. In a press release, the company announced results of its competition, which called for designs featuring one storey or split-level homes suitable for a 3,000-5,000 square ft estate lot on Cotton Bay. According to Mr Steenbakkers, the contest met with tremendous response. A prestigious panel of judges, including architect Richard Meier Costas Kondylis, founder of Costas Kndylis and Partners; Laurinda Spear, founding principal of Arquitectonica; and former model India Hicks, who is a Bahamian resident, designer, and author, selected the winning designs from over 400 entries. Will Shepphird of Shepphird Associates in Los Angeles was awarded $5,000 for first place; Volha Parchyna and Arseni Varabyeu of Architectural Bureau Varabyeu Partnership in Minsk, Belarus, received $3,000 as the second place winner; and Albert Mo of Architects ET in Victoria, Australia, earned $2,000 for third place. TJ Thompson, of Construction Design Services, picked up the T Alberts Sands Award and a $5,000 prize for the best design by a Bahamian architect. The winning designer`s plans will be shown to prospective buyers at Cotton Bay. Winners were selected based on their interpretations of Bahamian Colonial architectural style and regard for the island`s natural environment. "Each design has a strong command of environmental friendliness and ecological responsibility," Mr Steenbakkers said. Cotton Bay, in conjunction with Audubon International, aims to present designs that preserve the natural environment, maintain vegetation and topography, and apply solar and wind energy sources. Located five miles south of Rock Sound, Cotton Bay features 200 acres of unspoiled vegetation. At Cotton Bay Estates and The Cotton Bay Villas, homeowners can choose from beach-front, ocean and Caribbean views, or interior estate home sites. Guests also have access to the private marina on site. Source- The Tribune
