Alongside winning Architecture Firm of the Year, KPF has received five Design of the Year Awards from the Architecture MasterPrize, celebrating projects across Asia and Europe that demonstrate the firm’s approach to high-rise, adaptive reuse, mixed-use, and urban design.
TCC DAKA Renewable Resource Recycling Center in Taiwan received the highest distinction of “Best of Best” in the Mixed-Use Architecture category. Designed as a living laboratory which combines industrial, cultural, and environmental programs, the project reimagines the traditional waste recovery facility as a public-facing destination that connects industry with landscape, education, and community.
TP-LINK LXD in Shenzhen was recognized in the High-Rise Buildings category. The project connects two office towers and a dormitory through a continuous, one-kilometer landscaped ribbon, transforming circulation into shared social and ecological space and creating a connected, campus-like workplace.
In Lisbon, Oriente Green Campus received two awards, recognized in both the Mixed-Use Architecture and Landscape Architecture categories. Transforming a derelict, unfinished shopping mall into a new technology and education hub, the adaptive reuse project retains much of the existing structure while introducing courtyards, natural ventilation, daylight, and extensive landscaping.
Also recognized in the Mixed-Use Architecture category, Westlake 66 in Hangzhou brings together offices, retail, hospitality, and public space within a landscape-led master plan. Situated between West Lake and the historic Grand Canal, the development establishes a new pedestrian greenway through the site, with its massing computationally optimized to improve views, daylight, and its relationship with the surrounding city.
Now in its eleventh edition, the Architecture MasterPrize celebrates excellence across architecture, interior design, and landscape architecture, with this year’s program receiving entries from 95 countries.
