SIGNATURE LES ARCS promotes stylish, inventive and functional interiors to develop, preserve and encourage les Arcs’ distinctive architectural style.
The originality of the buildings in les Arcs’ resorts stems from the architectural thinking which permeated the design – roof lines following ridge lines, no cars in the resorts, open shopping malls, residential complexes positioned so that every resident can enjoy a view, functionally laid out designer apartments where skiers and golfers can stay in comfort. The architectural style of residential complexes in les Arcs is resolutely modern. It does not reflect the traditional image of the mountains, but that of a large leisure centre.
The architectural style of residential complexes in les Arcs is resolutely modern. It does not reflect the traditional image of the mountains, but that of a large leisure centre. This is why the " SIGNATURE LES ARCS " award promotes les Arcs’ distinctive architectural style.
A jury of experts then inspects and assesses the interiors.
The jury is made up of a journalist, an architect, an artist / designer, a photographer or cameraman and a representative of a tourism or community body.
An assessment guide based on the standard of architectural refinement is provided to assist with the appraisal.
The assessment is based on 4 criteria:
- Les Arcs' design pedigree
- Contemporary style
- The practicality and durability of the fittings and materials
- The feeling of well-being and the advantages of the design
The decision to award the SIGNATURE LES ARCS is taken after the jury has deliberated.
A SIGNATURE LES ARCS award ceremony attended by the property owners is then held.
