The 2025 INDE.Awards Shortlist showcases the very best architecture and design in our Indo-Pacific region.
June 13th, 2025
The moment has arrived! We are thrilled to unveil the incredible shortlist of the 2025 INDE.Awards, the pinnacle of architecture and design in the Indo-Pacific.
Our expert jury has deliberated and the top entries in each category have now been decided. With only 12 entries in each project category, this really is a shortlist and congratulations to everyone named below. To be included on the shortlist is an honour and your incredible work is celebrated.
Now in its ninth year, the INDEs grow year on year and the program is recognised as the most prestigious awards in our region. Through the INDE.Awards, we showcase design that is leading the world for creativity and innovation – all from the outstanding talent that abides in the Indo-Pacific.
This shortlist announcement is far more than just a list, it is a testament to a year of exceptional achievements and provides a glimpse into the vibrant ecosystem of the region. The awards span all realms of design, from commercial and residential to industrial design, interior design and photography and the INDE.Awards shortlist delves into how designers and architects are addressing the challenges and aspirations of their communities.
With rich and diverse materiality and increasingly thoughtful and collaborative design processes, this year’s shortlist showcases how our most creative minds are facing the challenges of the future and designing for today.
The INDE.Awards is an esteemed program and this is reflected in the calibre of our distinguished Jury, whose diverse expertise and expert knowledge ensures a thorough and insightful assessment of the incredible talent the awards attract.
Of course, our 2025 partners play an integral role in the INDE.Awards and we extend special thanks to Zenith, our Platinum Partner and supporter of The Best Of The Best category since the inception of the INDE.Awards as a pillar of the awards.
We would also like to say a huge thank you to each of our category partners who believe in our region, understand connection and community and support the INDEs.
Thank you to AHEC, Autex Acoustics, Colorbond®, Cult, Designer Rugs, Gaggenau, Karndean, Maxton Fox, MillerKnoll, Milliken, Tongue & Groove and Woven Image.
And many thanks also to our strategic Partners, Tilt for the beautiful trophies for the winners and Image Makers Association Australia who support The Photographer categories.
The shortlist this year features some of the most remarkable projects, people and products in the history of the program and we look forward to revealing and celebrating the category winners and announcing The Best Of The Best at the Gala Awards evening in Sydney on Thursday, July 31st, 2025.
For tickets and gala enquiries, please get in touch.
Now it is with immense excitement and pride, we present the 2025 INDE.Awards shortlist. Congratulations to all who have been honoured with this prestigious recognition!
The winner of The Best Of The Best category is chosen from among the category winners. This accolade is the pinnacle of recognition in architecture and design in our region and indeed across the globe and is the most prestigious award of the program. The winner of this award will be announced at the INDE.Awards gala.
