Freedom Lofts - CANNOdesign
Photographer: Jeffrey Totaro
Jury Comments:
This was a thoughtful intervention that met programmatic demands and existing challenges in a clever way. The addition is clearly delineated- with a restrained modern palette- while still complementing the existing buildings. The decision to pull the new volume away from the existing edges pays homage to the existing buildings, letting their historic character shine.

This project was recognized for its restrained design, which combines timeless aesthetics with a net-zero energy strategy. The jury appreciated its seamless integration of sustainability without compromising the architectural integrity of the educational environment. Its subtle material palette and play of light offer a dignified yet sustainable solution​.
Fahy Commons - Re:Vision Architecture
Photographer: Don Pearse Photographers
Jury Comments:
Fahy Commons was celebrated for its strong integration of sustainable design principles within a thoughtful architectural framework. The jury highlighted the building’s passive strategies and communal focus, which enhance both environmental performance and user experience. The project’s architectural language is rooted in function, creating a balanced and contextual response.
Hidden Basketball Hoop - Ford 3 Architects
Jury Comments:
It’s not every day one is presented with the challenge of a glass-walled sporting facility. I appreciate the straight-forward nature of the design solution, which allows for uninterrupted views from within when the hoops are not in use. It solves a practical problem in a deceptively simple, but elegant way.
Murmuration - CANNOdesign
Photographer: Jeffrey Totaro
Jury Comments:
This project brings lightness and playfulness to brick as it twists, turns, swoops and swirls across the facade in beautiful shape-shifting clouds. The jury appreciates the attention to detail in creating a dynamic façade from a simple brick.
