Sime Darby Property, PAM open Concept Home 2035 competition

PETALING JAYA (Aug 20): Sime Darby Property Bhd and Pertubuhan Akitek Malaysia (PAM) have opened registration for the Concept Home 2035 (CH2035) Competition, which seeks residential design proposals for a proposed 171.93-acre site at Elmina Hills in the City of Elmina township, Selangor.

In a press release on Thursday (Aug 20), Sime Darby Property said the competition will explore buildable residential products and housing typologies beyond conventional terrace homes.

The proposed site is located in the Elmina West precinct of Sime Darby Property’s City of Elmina township.

Entries will be assessed against five design pillars: climate-responsive planning; cost-effective and marketable; pragmatic and scalable; flexible planning; and biophilic and sustainability.

The competition is open to PAM-registered architects and participating consortium teams. It will be conducted in two stages, comprising initial submissions and shortlisting, followed by refined proposals and a final jury evaluation.

Registration is scheduled to close on Sept 8. Sime Darby Property said the competition will run for about three months, with the winning concept expected to be announced in early December.

The winning entry will receive RM150,000, while the second- and third-placed entries will receive RM90,000 and RM70,000 respectively. A People’s Choice Award carries a RM20,000 prize.

CH2035 follows the inaugural Concept Home 2030 Competition held in 2021.

Sime Darby Property and PAM said the initiative aims to translate housing concepts into practical applications for future townships, while balancing design quality, liveability, sustainability, cost and buildability.
