Joining the winning projects of the inaugural Architectural Record Awards are eight Honorable Mention recipients selected from several of the main categories encompassing completed projects, including Health Care, Hospitality, Tall Buildings, and Adaptive Reuse & Renovation. A handful of these honorees, such as the Frick Collection expansion by Selldorf Architects and Beyer Blinder Belle, have been previously featured in the pages of RECORD. Our jury of editors and distinguished guests have also recognized an additional Honorable Mention project in the Unbuilt (student) category. Many of the winning firms were on-hand to be recognized for their work at a celebratory October 30 reception in New York that followed the 2025 Innovation Conference.

Scroll down to see all nine of the 2025 Architectural Record Award’s Honorable Mentions.
