Seventeen distinguished residential projects received either an award or a commendation, out of a total of 46 recognised architecture projects at the 2025 National Architecture Awards. <\/p>\n

Among the top honours, Hedge and Arbour House<\/a> by Studio Bright in Melbourne was awarded the prestigious Robin Boyd Award for Residential Architecture \u2013 Houses (New), while Niwa House<\/a> by John Ellway in Brisbane received the acclaimed Eleanor Cullis-Hill Award for Residential Architecture \u2013 Houses (Alterations and Additions). <\/p>\n

New Castle<\/a> by Anthony St John Parsons was the only residential project to receive more than one award, winning both the National Award for Interior Architecture and the National Award for Residential Architecture \u2013 Houses (New).<\/p>\n

Jury chair and immediate past national president of the Institute Jane Cassidy commented that the celebrated projects demonstrate a transition \u201cto sustainable low-operational and embodied carbon; to passive-first, all-electric principles; to local and ethical sourcing; to caring for Country; to regenerative practice and embedded biodiversity, social inclusion and connectedness; to waste minimisation and adaptive reuse and recycling; and away from the excesses of the past.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThe projects we encountered this year are more than structures: they are systems of care, of connection, of transformation,\u201d she said. \u201cThis year we have seen a body of work that is unafraid to ask difficult questions \u2013 about equity, climate and care.\u201d <\/p>\n

Alongside Cassidy, the 2025 jury comprised Ninotschka Titchkosky, architectural innovator; Yang Yang Lee, architect at Lee Yang Yang Architect; Martyn Hook, professor at RMIT University and founding director at Iredale Pedersen Hook Architects; and Kavita Gonsalves, associate principal and sustainability design lead Asia-Pacific at Populous.
