Palm 1890 by S.A.I.T. Studio Wins Bronze at the A' Architecture Awards

Coastal Hospitality Residence in Alacati Recognized for Stepped Massing and Uninterrupted Sea Views

COMO, CO, ITALY, July 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The A' Design Award has announced S.A.I.T. Studio as a Bronze winner in the Architecture, Building and Structure Design category for the work titled Palm 1890. The A' Design Award is one of the world's highly respected design recognitions, conducted through a rigorous evaluation process by a panel of design professionals, academics, and industry experts. This designation acknowledges Palm 1890 as an outstanding example of good design within the field of architecture. Located in Alacati, Izmir, Palm 1890 is a hospitality residence that integrates uninterrupted sea views with terraced gardens and water elements. The recognition positions the project among notable contributions to contemporary coastal architecture.

The Bronze A' Design Award for Palm 1890 holds relevance for the broader architecture industry and for those seeking thoughtful coastal living solutions. The project addresses a growing demand for developments that unify residential privacy with hotel level functionality, a balance that reflects current trends in mixed use design. By prioritizing sea view orientation, terraced massing efficiency, and landscape integration, Palm 1890 demonstrates how high density hospitality developments can remain climate responsive. The design aligns with established standards for environmental responsiveness while supporting long term spatial quality. These qualities offer practical benefits to residents, guests, and stakeholders alike.

Palm 1890 establishes a strong relationship between architecture and landscape, creating a lush and climate responsive environment. A carefully calibrated stepped massing strategy ensures uninterrupted sea views for all residential units and hotel rooms while respecting strict zoning parameters and topographical constraints. Green terraces, open vistas, and a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces unify the residential and hospitality functions. Terraced structural systems support green roofs and water features in combination with reinforced concrete construction. Natural stone, timber surfaces, and high performance glazing enhance durability and visual continuity throughout the site.

This recognition serves as encouragement for S.A.I.T. Studio to continue exploring contemporary coastal living models within the Aegean region and beyond. The award may inspire future projects that further refine terrain responsive site planning and landscape continuity. By reinterpreting local coastal living traditions through a research driven approach, the studio reinforces its commitment to balancing environmental responsiveness with spatial quality. The acknowledgment motivates the team to pursue continued innovation across architecture, interior design, and landscape disciplines.
