The INDE.Award Winners are Revealed – Celebrating the best of Regional Design in the Indo-Pacific for 2025

Now in its ninth year, the INDE.Awards is regarded as the premier awards program for architecture and design in the Indo-Pacific.

The INDEs showcase the extraordinary projects, people and products for the year and creates a shortlist of only 12 projects for each main category. Those entries from practices judged as shortlisted should be proud of their achievement, as ours is a true and concise shortlist of exceptional work. As the winners are celebrated, they represent many countries and a region that is leading the world in design expertise.

As a region, the Indo-Pacific encompasses an enormous variety of architecture and design through people, place and culture and in 2025, the originality and expertise of our community knows no bounds.

On the evening of Thursday 31^st July, the leaders of the design community came together to celebrate these achievements at a VIP Gala Event at Saltbox in Sydney.

Entrants from across the region gathered as the honourable mentions and winners of the 2025 INDE.Awards were announced, and we celebrated their achievements at a glittering party after the formalities.

Along with acknowledging their achievements, the winners received a uniquely crafted trophy created by INDE partner Tilt Industrial Design.

The INDE team would like to congratulate all entrants, shortlisted and awarded entries of this year’s program. We also extend our heartfelt thanks to our esteemed and illustrious jury who gave their time and expertise to assess the immense entry pool.

To all of our event partners whose regional design leadership helps to drive the INDEs forward, thank you for your incredible support that helps continue our quest to bring to the attention of the world the depth of talent that resides in the Indo-Pacific.

While the gala marks the end of the 2025 INDE.Awards, it is also a time to reflect on the breadth of outstanding talent that resides in our region. The Indo-Pacific countries are a collective, with great thinkers and expert practitioners who are pushing the boundaries and leading the world in architecture and design. We have made our place, not only on the regional stage that connects us, but on a global platform that influences the world.

Entries for the 2026 awards will open in December!
