International Residential Architecture Awards 2026. will be judged by two stellar panels: one for design, and the other for architecture. Each of the panels will be comprised of industry experts who will use their insight and experience to deliberate on the results.

The Design panel will be looking for fresh thinking and originality, beautiful execution, great storytelling, work that pushes and progresses the client brief beyond expectations, and work that emotionally connects with its people.

The Architecture panel will be hoping to see: work that is programmatically, formally, and spatially rich, a design that pushes boundaries, projects that address issues of sustainability, and a people-focused, client-driven approach.

Reputable judges will nominate 3 finalists within each award category. Honorable jury members will select the winners of the International Residential Architecture Award 2026. Winners will receive a winner kit(Trophy, Certificate, and poster), and the Award will be published on The Architecture Community’s website and our media partner’s website.
