Design Marfa is conducting an international ideas Competition to propose designs for multi-family housing in Marfa, Texas.
Currently, Marfa has limited property zoned for multi-family housing. Please see Marfa's zoning requirements on our Downloads page. As tourism increases in Marfa, the availability of housing for full-time residents has the potential to become even more limited as the attractiveness of vacation rentals and part-time residences remove inventory from the market.
The objectives of the Competition are to:
Encourage multi-family housing projects
Consider housing as an urgent and basic component of improving the urban environment in Marfa
Promote dialogue on how to improve the housing shortage
Encourage city planners and property owners to rethink existing code limitations and potentially rezone appropriate properties for multi-family housing
