Herzog & de Meuron won Dezeen Awards 2025 architecture project of the year
Architecture
University Children’s Hospital Zurich by Herzog & de Meuron won the prestigious architecture project of the year award, sponsored by Programa. It was also named leisure and wellness project of the year.
“This is a project that should be celebrated, and celebrated widely,” said the architecture master jury.
“It is an exemplary building, in a sector where exemplary buildings are rare but needed more than almost any other. This is what quality architecture should strive for,” they added.
The winning project of the year was up against category winners including a mass-timber office in Finland, a performing arts centre using earth bricks in Uganda and a restored fish and seafood hall in Sweden.
A school framed by bright green steel walkways and a house renovation using corrugated metal for an industrial aesthetic were also amongst the category winners.

Symbolplus won Dezeen Awards 2025 interiors project of the year
Interiors
Symbolplus Office by Japanese studio Symbolplus won the prestigious interiors project of the year award, sponsored by Gaggenau. It was also named workplace interior (small) project of the year, sponsored by Framery.
The interiors master jury praised the office space in Tokyo for being “so on point in terms of how we want to live and what we should create – both in our use of materials and our understanding of context.”
“It’s a fantastic example of how a contemporary interior can be sustainable and respect the past, but also transport you to another world. It’s authentic yet futuristic, a perfect merging of two worlds,” they added.
The winning project of the year was up against category winners including a knife gallery also in Tokyo, a workplace championing British crafts in London and a skatepark in a glass box in central Shanghai.

AtMa won Dezeen Awards 2025 design project of the year
Design
J39.5 by AtMa won the prestigious design project of the year award and was also named collectible design of the year.
According to the design master jury, J39.5 represents “an act of rebellion against the constant churn of newness in our industry; a sort of anti-design statement.”
“This body of work conveys the handwriting of the maker and these low-fi creations celebrate the individual DIY path that the creator pursued,” they said.
“Each object in this body of work stretches expected seating typologies away from the original chair from which they are constructed.”
J39.5 was up against designs that included a table lamp that comes in an A4-size envelope, ceramic basins that can double as barbecues and a bike helmet that flattens to become thinner than a laptop.

“Its impact is sure to be felt far beyond the world of design and architecture, offering a rare glimpse of not just hope but real progress,” they added.
The winning material was competing against projects that included a wellbeing retreat in Indonesia, buildable headphones made for children and a heritage centre pioneering bio-based interior solutions.

Moreover, the jury praised Barnard’s commitment to accessibility and her ability to bring topics such as circularity into mainstream conversation.
“She advocates for circularity, and her work shifts this issue towards the mainstream by creating tangible designs such as refillable products and making them accessible.”
