We’re excited to share the AZ Awards 2025 finalists – 86 projects, products and concepts that won over our esteemed international jury. Inspiring approaches to adaptive re-use, urban revitalization and multi-unit housing made the list – so did elegant and refined homes, products and interiors. Practices from around the world, including Neri&Hu, OPEN Architecture, Studio MK27, 3XN and Fernanda Canales, join Canadian talents including LGA Architectural Partners, Patkau Architects, and MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects as contenders.

Congratulations to all the finalists – who now go on to the People’s Choice portion of the AZ Awards program. Everyone is welcome to vote for their favourites now! All winners and People’s Choice favourites will be announced at the AZ Awards 2025 gala on Thursday, June 19. This special evening will commemorate 15 years of the AZ Awards and 40 years of Azure magazine!

At the gala, we will also announce the EMERGING winners in the categories of Architecture, Design and Interiors.
