What The Landscape Awards Recognise
The Landscape Awards honour landscape architectural design — the discipline that increasingly defines how communities, properties and cities are experienced. The category set spans Residential Landscape Of The Year, Commercial Landscape Of The Year, Hospitality Landscape Of The Year, Urban Landscape Of The Year, Master-Plan Landscape Of The Year and Villa Landscape Of The Year.
Recognition matters in landscape because the landscape layer of a property is increasingly understood as a primary value driver — particularly in luxury residential, hospitality, commercial public-realm and master-plan property. Independent third-party recognition is a meaningful signal in landscape competitions, major commissions and HNW client engagement.
The 2026 programme spans every region. The landscape jury includes leading landscape architects, urbanists, ecological specialists and adjacent design professionals.
