Every year, the Builder’s Choice Design Awards welcomes a stunning and competitive cohort of entries and winners—and this year is no different. From the bold and attainable Project of the Year to the many fresh yet nostalgic interpretations of new builds, renovations, and additions, the eight 2025 Grand winners hail from across the country dotting urban, waterfront, rural, and countryside settings. Fourteen Merits were also awarded this year.
