RIAI Emerging Practice Award Winners

Islander Architects have won the RIAI Emerging Practice Award 2025. We are extremely honoured to receive this award on the 5th anniversary of our practice.

The RIAI Jury citation was:

 “What especially distinguished Islander was the range of work and their engagement in all aspects of architecture. There is a consistency to their work that emerges from an underlying commitment to “tackle the climate emergency”. From small built interventions that actively query scale and push for the possibilities in adaptation, to small scale urban, exhibition and writing, theirs is a focused practice that believes in the power of architecture to engage with the broader issues in society.

They are doing exciting work across a number of different spheres and scales and the selection panel is excited to see the work they produce in the future.”
