This year’s winners also reflect a global dialogue of design - studios from Brazil, Japan, Australia, Belgium, and beyond brought their voices to the stage, each translating context, material, and culture into spaces that resonate universally. The awards not only highlight architectural excellence but also underline the pressing role of design in addressing today’s social, environmental, and experiential challenges.

The winners were selected by a distinguished international jury of leading architects, designers, and thinkers, ensuring that each project was recognized not only for its design excellence but also for its cultural, social, and environmental impact. Among the jury members were Deborah Berke (TenBerke), Juan Ignacio Aranguren (Zaha Hadid Architects), Maria Porro (Salone del Mobile Milano), Patrick Voigt (9sekunden), and Tatiana Bilbao & Team (Tatiana Bilbao Estudio), alongside other renowned voices shaping the future of architecture and design.

At its core, the Architecture Hunter Awards celebrate projects that inspire - not only as structures but as living experiences. The 2025 edition demonstrates that architecture remains a powerful language of transformation, capable of shaping futures, reimagining traditions, and enriching the human journey.
