Western Australian Architecture Awards 2026

The Western Australian Architecture Awards are the premier celebration of built environment excellence in the state, presented annually by the Australian Institute of Architects WA Chapter. Across a broad range of categories — from residential and commercial to heritage, interior architecture, and urban design — the awards spotlight the projects and practices shaping Perth and the wider region.

The awards evening brings together architects, developers, clients, and design professionals for an important night of recognition and celebration. For practices operating in WA, a win or shortlisting carries real weight — both in terms of industry standing and the message it sends to potential clients about the quality of a studio’s work.

Whether you are entering work, supporting a colleague, or simply keeping up with the best of WA architecture, the awards ceremony is a fixture on the Perth design calendar. Details on categories, entry requirements, and the venue will be confirmed closer to the date via the Australian Institute of Architects website.
