Nominees announced for AIA 2025 NSW Regional Architecture Awards

Some of regional NSW’s best new residential, commercial and community buildings have been shortlisted for the Australian Institute of Architects 2025 NSW Regional Architecture Awards.

Featuring innovative, sustainable and inspirational homes as well as commercial and community buildings from across the state’s regions, this year’s shortlist gives a unique perspective on the evolving built environment in NSW, and showcases how architecture is shaping the future of our regions.

The NSW Regional Architecture Awards program celebrates exemplary examples of architecture in areas outside of greater Sydney, with award-winning entries invited to progress to the NSW Architecture Awards.

The 2025 NSW Regional Architecture Awards received its largest number of entries this year, with the jury impressed by the calibre of entrants. The jury will travel to shortlisted projects to view the architecture in-situ and gain a deeper understanding about how it performs and exists within its context.

The awards presentation will be held in Mudgee on Friday 18th October 2024.
