      Hello! We have a question, in the full brief of the contest, it specifies that the building must not pass the area of 2300m2 (plus 10%). In case we want to implement a basement; does that count in the total area? Thank you in advance for your assistance.

      Hi there!

      Yes, underground levels also count towards the total area of the building.

      Unless otherwise stated you should consider this to always be the case (not only for this competition), otherwise you could just go 5 levels underground keeping a minimum entrance at ground level and say your project is only 50 square meters, which would not be true.

      Hope this makes sense and answers your question 😉
