19 Texas Design Award winners showcase the best new architecture the Lone Star state has to offer in 2025

The selection of 19 projects as part of the Texas Society of Architects’ 2025 Design Awards program has been announced at the conclusion of a cycle that drew 194 applications. 

This year, the projects chosen represented a great variety in client, typology, and size. The winners represent standout design talent in a state that has an estimated 16,000+ architects. Their achievements also add to a growing body of other industry-wide recognition that includes San Antonio-based Lake|Flato's inspiring 2024 AIA Gold Medal victory. The jury for this year’s program included Germane Barnes, Barbara Bestor, Tom Kundig, and Víctor Legorreta. 

The results can be read below. Each of the winning projects will be featured in the Awards issue of Texas Architect magazine later this fall.
