Why enter Dezeen Awards?
Dezeen Awards celebrates the world’s best architecture, interiors and design. It is entered by studios large and small and provides a platform for new talent and established names. It has become the ultimate accolade for architects and designers across the globe.
Balinese practice Pablo Luna Studio, which won Dezeen Awards 2025 sustainable building of the year for a wellness retreat topped with undulating bamboo roofs modelled on seashells, fish and manta rays, spoke to Dezeen about the impact of the recognition.
“Being shortlisted in several categories, including emerging architect of the year, and receiving the sustainable building award has been an honour we will never forget,” the studio told Dezeen.
Pablo Luna Studio added that last month’s awards party created an opportunity “to meet inspiring people, exchange ideas and celebrate design in all its forms.”
“It was truly a special and memorable experience for us”, it said.
You could also have the chance for your work to be seen by the industry’s leading names and published on Dezeen for global recognition.
