Platinum Victory calls for submissions for Paint The Town Green Award

Developer Platinum Victory is calling for submissions for its Paint The Town Green Award, that calls for participants to conceptualise a sustainable and creative design focusing on three aspects: interior design, landscaping and architecture; including designs for wall mural, public and social spaces, and restaurant façade (interior and exterior).

The winning designs will be used for its 7.4-acre lakefront commercial and social space, The Palette in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur.

“We are using the Paint The Town Green Award and The Palette as a platform for this initiative, as we foresee it will be patronised by people from all walks of life. We hope each one of them will take back that sense of ownership as guardians of their respective communities and spread the awareness on sustainability,” said Gan Yee Hin, Executive Director of Platinum Victory.

The competition is open to all nationalities in Malaysia who are 18 years old and above for a chance to walk home with a total of RM23,000 cash and vouchers up for grabs. Participants can choose to submit their conceptual drawing entry as an individual or up to five participants in a group.

“As a home-grown developer, we are glad to play a modest role in providing a meaningful ‘palette’ for designs which promotes sustainability. Hopefully in the long run, it will also set a precedent for fellow industry players to adapt similar concepts in their business Development,” Gan said.

Platinum Victory is collaborating with various universities, institutions and other strategic partners including contest sponsor Kansai Paint for this competition towards nurturing budding talent in the field of design.

The panel of judges include Michael Gibert, Creative Director of Arkilab architectural firm; Iko In, founder of In Publishers; Nur Maihan Muhammad, Landscape Architect from Hashim Design and a representative from Platinum Victory.

Each entry must encompass the overall design for the designated area incorporating hardscape and softscape, complying to the theme of Sustainability. Participants will need to register online in order to obtain reference files in Sketchup and AutoCAD format.

Contestants are to submit their designs with the rationale summary for their drawings. Registration of the contest is now open via https://thepalette.com.my until 31 st August 2019.

Shortlisted participants will be invited to present their submission to the judges and a maximum of 10 finalists will be rewarded. The entry works of the finalists will be featured in news dailies, magazines and various digital platforms. This will certainly bolster their portfolio as budding designers.

The Palette is targeted to be fully operational by the fourth quarter of 2019, which will see a dynamic blend of tenants to breathe new life into Setapak’s flourishing township. Every lot has an alfresco area with architectural features specially designed to encourage social interaction, visibility and a pleasant urban leisure experience, day and night.
