September 18, 2025, Denver – AIA Colorado, the Colorado Chapter of The American Institute of Architects, representing over 2,500 licensed architects, emerging professionals, architecture students, and allied professionals, announces the winners of the 2025 Design Awards, Architect of the Year, Young Architect of the Year, Firm of the Year, President’s Award, Impact Award, 25-Year Award, and the inaugural recipients of the Citizen Architect Award and Educator of the Year Award.
Winners were announced at the historic Tivoli Turnalle on the Auraria campus in downtown Denver.
“The quality of the work was exceptionally high and so it was hard to make choices… There were a lot of projects that rose to the top that were looking at questions of adaptive reuse, conservation, and repurposing structures in really inventive ways for contemporary purpose.“
“The range of work that came out of the AIA Colorado projects was really inspiring. The work showed not only real aesthetic value, but I appreciated all the social and sustainable attributes.”
