Recognizing excellence
The Asia Pacific International Property & Hotel Awards 2024-2025 welcomed over 500 guests and industry luminaries to celebrate excellence across architecture, interior design, real estate and property development.
This year’s edition unveiled the Asia Pacific Hotel Awards category to recognize excellence in the hospitality sector. Entries were judged by a panel of 50 industry experts and peers. Each was evaluated for design, quality, service, innovation, originality and dedication to sustainability.
“Our partnership with the International Property Awards (IPA) has put the global spotlight on outstanding projects from across the region and lifted the profile of deserving architects, designers and developers. We have experienced terrific interest and growth in the Asia Pacific Property awards, and we expect the new Hotel award category and new GROHE Luxury Award to generate even more international interest and attention,” Audrey Yeo, leader at LIXIL Water Technology Asia Pacific, said.
Asia continues to be an economic and trendsetting powerhouse. Solid economic fundamentals and growing urbanization across the region will continue to benefit the property industry. These will result to the increase of consumer aspirations for better homes. Spending power will increase demand for thoughtfully designed, inclusive properties that prioritize health and sustainability.

The American Standard Innovation Award was presented to the Future Car Park project, Hangzhou by Daniel Statham Studio. The project aims to create harmony between the “Automobile and the City” and features a high-tech automated car parking system, a rooftop park area and events space. Cars are parked, or stacked, in futuristic towers that ‘blossom” upwards to accommodate roof gardens and entertainment facilities. The roof provides shade and shelter to the ground level plaza in a “canopy of trees.” The porous cladding creates a see-through effect of the automated parking system within the towers, while simultaneously letting light into the building and acting as a natural ventilation system.
