TAC International Residential Architecture Awards 2026
International Residential Architecture Awards 2026 is one of the world’s most prestigious awards for residential architecture.
It recognises outstanding ideas that redefine architecture design through the implementation of novel technologies, materials, programs, aesthetics, and spatial organisations along with studies on globalisation, flexibility, adaptability, and the digital revolution. It is a forum that examines the relationship between architecture and the natural world, the community, and the city.
International Residential Architecture Awards will be judged by two stellar panels: one for design, the other for architecture. Each of the panels will be compiled of industry experts who will use their insight and experience to deliberate the results.
The Design panel will be looking for: fresh thinking and originality, beautiful execution, great storytelling, work that pushes and progresses the client brief beyond expectations, and work that emotionally connects with its people.
The Architecture panel will be hoping to see: work that is programmatically, formally, and spatially rich, a design that pushes boundaries, projects that address issues of sustainability a people-focused, client-driven approach.
