This paper is devoted to the relaxation and integral representation in the space of functions of bounded variation for an integral energy arising from optimal design problems. The presence of a perimeter penalization is also considered in order to avoid non-existence of admissible solutions and, in addition, this leads to an interaction in the limit energy. More general models have also been taken into account.
