Description
Design Marfa's mission is to advance architecture, preservation, economic development and sustainable growth in Marfa through educational programs and special events.
We seek to enhance the quality of life in Marfa, TX.
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
