Project Description
The main objective of dafabet project is to develop fivesites (Aubazine, La Siauve, Outre- Val, Grange Haute, andChâteau de Val). Each site enjoys unmatched naturalfeatures and distinguished historic buildings of Frencharchitecture dating back to medieval era.
Valcastel S.A. assigned dafabet to design the five sites. Thedevelopment plan includes five different hotels, residentialvillas, conference centers, cinemas and theatres, sportsfacilities, recreational buildings, café, restaurants, servicebuildings and all related required infrastructure works.
Prior to commencing the development plan of theaforementioned five sites, dafabet was assigned to developthe existing site (Château de Val). This phase is called Phase(0) which comprises substituting an existing old 2-starhotel (13 rooms) by a 4-star hotel (60 rooms), businesscenter, in addition to 15 residential villas with two differentfaçade treatments (classic style and modern style).
