Gómez Platero Earns 3 Distinctions at the IDA Awards
Gómez Platero received one Gold and two Bronze distinctions at the 2025 International Design Awards for Club Cash, Ramblas del Plata and Hotel Montevideo, across three categories recognising architectural excellence on an international stage.
The 19th edition of the International Design Awards 2025 placed three Gómez Platero projects within a global landscape of benchmarks, awarding the studio one Gold and two Bronze distinctions across architecture categories. More than a one-off accolade, IDA serves as an international showcase where projects from diverse geographies and scales are assessed against shared criteria—emphasising conceptual rigour, clarity of design intent, coherence between vision and delivery, and the impact of design on experience.
With a track record that includes acclaimed firms such as Foster + Partners and Gensler, the International Design Awards have become a global platform that recognises, celebrates, and champions design visionaries, while also spotlighting emerging talent in architecture and related disciplines—broadening the international reach of the selected works. In that context, earning three distinctions in a single edition underscores the consistency of the GP team’s work across diverse typologies and settings.
International Design Awards, a global design platform
The International Design Awards are part of an international network that celebrates multidisciplinary design and its ability to shape contemporary material culture. With a focus on architecture, interior, product, graphic and fashion design, the programme not only recognises established careers, but also elevates new voices and approaches. The evaluation process is led by an international jury of experts, making the recognition particularly meaningful: each project is judged on its merits, the clarity of its proposal, and its contribution within a highly competitive global field.
In this edition of the IDA, Club Cash in Montevideo, Uruguay—recently recognised at the International Architecture Awards and the World Architecture Festival—received Gold in Commercial Architecture, Sports & Recreational Facilities. Conceived as a social, cultural and sports complex, it seeks to strengthen community, wellbeing and shared experience, bringing together pavilions and green spaces within an open, active framework.
Adittionaly, Ramblas del Plata received Bronze in Architectural Project Development in the Mixed-Use category, recognising an urban vision that brings together housing, commerce, culture and public space in direct relationship with Buenos Aires’ waterfront edge and ecological reserve.
Finally, Hotel Montevideo received Bronze in Architectural Project Development in Hospitality, for a proposal that frames a contemporary hotel experience through a precise siting strategy and a carefully calibrated dialogue with the urban fabric of Pocitos, Montevideo, Uruguay.
Together, these distinctions spotlight Uruguayan architecture and our approach to making city on the international stage, within the framework of a globally recognised award that helps define benchmarks and raise standards in contemporary design.
