Welcome to another year of great design in St. Louis. We’re honored to be the media organization that delivers a front row seat to our city’s top talent. The 2025 Architect & Designer Awards competition, now in its 18th consecutive year, attracted more than 270 submissions in 30 categories, from home office/library to house of the year, custom furniture design to traditional kitchen. We are grateful to our five judges—Brittany Bromley, Kelee Katillac, Fern Santini, Samantha Stevenson, and Jess Weeth—for their expertise and attention to each entry.
Winners of the competition will be revealed at a party on April 1 at Contemporary Art Museum of St. Louis, presented by Design & Detail. Until then, congratulations to all of our finalists!
