Winners will be revealed at live Architect of the Year awards on 15 October
The shortlists for the 2025 Architect of the Year Awards have been announced.
The entries for the 21st instalment of the event have been whittled down to the 85 unique finalists shown below. They include BDP, Broadway Malyan, Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, Hawkins\Brown, and Sheppard Robson.
Alongside trophies for work in all the main sectors, there is also a Gold Award that will be presented on the night.
This is our award for the “best of the best”. The winning architectural practice in each category will be put forward for a judges’ vote to determine our Gold Award winner for 2025.
In 2024 a Lifetime Achievement Award was also presented for the first time, which this year will again be decided by our esteemed judging panel and announced on the night.
The judging panel this year includes 30 highly respected figures from across the built environment with a wide array of expertise.
Tickets for the awards ceremony, which will be held at London Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square on 15 October, are now on sale.
