The 2025 ADNZ Design Awards celebrated a remarkable breadth of New Zealand architecture and this year, a standout theme emerged: every winner featured below has a profile on ArchiPro for you to discover their portfolio of work. From coastal homes crafted with lightness to ambitious alpine commercial work, these projects reflect the calibre of design flourishing across our community.

From a teenage apprentice to the owner of Craftbuilt, Simon Raikes has spent more than 30 years carving and shaping timber using traditional woodworking techniques while embracing the modern precision of technology.

Each year, the NZIA Awards reveal the projects shaping the future of New Zealand’s built environment. From intimate homes to transformative public works, they honour architecture that elevates the way we live, learn, gather and move through the world.
