International Property Award Entry in Hardcover Books
Dual Award Submissions for a Landmark Beachfront Development
We were commissioned to produce two hardback competition books for Sole Mio Residences, a luxury beachfront condominium development in Bang Tao Beach, Phuket, as part of their submission to the International Property Awards.
The project was entered into two separate award categories:
- Architecture / Multiple Residence
- Apartment / Condominium Development
Each submission required a dedicated book, carefully structured to meet the International Property Awards’ strict content framework while clearly communicating the project’s architectural vision, lifestyle positioning, and investment credentials.
Creating a Refined Award Submission
Designed for International Judging Criteria
International Property Award entry submissions are assessed against a detailed set of judging criteria — and the quality of presentation, clarity of information, and execution form a scoring category in their own right.
How a project is presented matters just as much as the project itself.
We take this responsibility seriously. Award submission books are not treated as standard marketing collateral, but as strategic showcase pieces that influence judges’ perception, industry credibility, and long-term sales and marketing impact. Every layout decision is made to support clarity, consistency, and professionalism at an international level.
This disciplined approach reflects the same thinking we apply across our brand strategy services and luxury print design solutions, where structure, messaging, and presentation are designed to support long-term commercial goals.
Front & Back Covers
Establishing Presence and Positioning
The covers were designed to immediately communicate luxury, exclusivity, and beachfront living. Drawing inspiration from the project’s yacht-inspired architecture, we focused on strong hero imagery, restrained typography, and a calm, confident layout that signals quality without excess.
The books feature a cover treatment aligned to its specific award category, ensuring clarity of purpose while maintaining a unified visual system.
Design Approach
Architecture-Led, Calm, and Confident
With no conventional marketing brief, our design decisions were guided by three principles:
- Clarity – judges should immediately understand the project’s intent and strengths
- Elegance – layouts that feel premium, calm, and timeless
- Discipline – strict adherence to award criteria without compromising aesthetics
Typography, spacing, and colour usage were deliberately restrained, allowing the architecture, interiors, and lifestyle imagery to lead. The result is a presentation that feels considered, credible, and appropriate for an international judging panel.
Internal Pages
From Concept to Lifestyle and Investment Value
The internal layouts follow the award-mandated structure, covering:
- Project overview and development brief
- Location context and surrounding amenities
- Site planning and unit placement
- Architectural design and layout efficiency
- Interior design, finishes, and lifestyle experience
- Safety, sustainability, and innovation
- Marketing strategy and international appeal
Clear hierarchy and consistent layout systems ensure the content is easy to navigate, while allowing imagery and editorial content to work together as a unified narrative.
Visual Storytelling
Beachfront Living, Yacht-Inspired Architecture
Using the client’s image library, we curated a visual journey that moves seamlessly from coastal context and architectural form through to interior lifestyle and spatial quality.
Where required, imagery was resized, refined, and optimised for print to ensure consistent clarity and impact across full-bleed spreads, architectural features, and detailed interior shots. Floor plans and diagrams were carefully integrated to enhance readability while maintaining visual balance across each spread.
Precision, Craft, and Print Quality
Proving Quality in Every Detail
For Sole Mio Residences, we meticulously refined and adjusted site plans and floorplans to ensure they reproduced crisp, sharp, and fully legible at print scale. We also created custom maps, diagrams, and iconography, elevating the presentation well beyond standard developer collateral.
The books were printed on super-luxury stock with a soft satin feel, selected to enhance colour depth while delivering a tactile experience that immediately communicates quality. From colour calibration to paper selection, every production decision was made to ensure the finished book feels as premium as the project it represents.
This attention to detail extends beyond the award submission itself. Our work for the Sole Mio brand also includes the Sole Mio Hotel website, along with bespoke business cards for the residential sales team and Railand Property Group, ensuring a consistent, high-quality brand experience across digital, print, and in-person touchpoints.
We don’t just talk about high-quality projects.
We prove it — in print.
