The «best architects award» is one of Europe’s leading architecture awards, recognising projects that demonstrate outstanding architectural quality and a distinctive design approach. Since its inception, the «best architects» award has stood as a mark of excellence in architecture, highlighting pioneering contributions to European architectural culture.
award
The «best architects award» was created in 2006 to filter out the best and most interesting architecture projects the German-speaking countries have to offer in order to present them to a broad, interested public. In 2015 the award competition was opened up to participants Europe-wide.
The award is conferred each year on completed architecture projects in the categories renovation and addition, residential, office and administrative buildings, commercial and industrial buildings, educational buildings, public buildings, infrastructure buildings, other buildings and interior design that are distinguished by outstanding architectural quality.
The call for entries for the «best architects 28» award opens in January 2027.
jury
An independent jury of prominent architects awards the «best architects» label and the «best architects in gold» label for exceptional quality.

The award-winning projects are presented and documented in detail each year in a showcase publication. The publications have already won major domestic and international design awards on several occasions, e.g. the Red Dot Award. The lavishly produced books are available in bookstores or directly in our online book shop.
