The Architect of the Year Awards BD Online celebrate the very best in UK architecture. Every year, influential architects, practices, and industry partners gather to highlight outstanding achievements. The 2025 awards ceremony took place at the London Marriott Hotel on Grosvenor Square.
These awards cover a wide range of categories. For example, they include Net Zero Architect of the Year, Interior Architect of the Year, and Housing Architect of the Year. The jury also confers a Lifetime Achievement Award and a top-level Gold Award for the most outstanding body of work.
Moreover, the judging panel comprises highly respected professionals. Leaders from practices such as Sheppard Robson, U+I, and Eric Parry Architects bring their insights to the selection process. They evaluate entries based on design excellence, sustainability, social value, and innovation.
Each year, winners set new benchmarks. In 2025, Haworth Tompkins won the Gold Award, and Lady Patricia Ann Hopkins received the Lifetime Achievement Award. Other practices won in categories such as public buildings, one-off houses, and small-scale projects.
The Architect of the Year Awards BD Online also spotlight the collaborative relationship between architects and their suppliers. The Industry/Manufacturing Partner of the Year award highlights firms that deliver exceptional products or services that support architectural innovation.
Altogether, this awards programme is more than recognition; it is an influential platform. Architects, developers, clients, and suppliers connect, celebrate creative excellence, and push the boundaries of sustainable and socially responsible architecture.
