(About)

World Luxury Residence Design Awards (WLRD) is an international awards program dedicated to recognising excellence in luxury residences and high-end living environments worldwide. Founded in London, WLRD celebrates projects that redefine how people live, feel and experience space at the highest level.

From coastal villas and urban penthouses to private estates, boutique apartments and hybrid cultural–residential landmarks, WLRD looks beyond size and budget. It honours work that demonstrates architectural integrity, spatial innovation, lifestyle insight, craftsmanship, sustainability and long-term asset value.

Every residence tells a story. We look beyond style to understand how people truly live.

Architecture

Landscape

Interiors

Lifestyle

We believe that true luxury is not only about finishes — it’s about how people live, feel and connect in space. WLRD recognises projects where architecture, interiors and landscape come together with clarity, integrity and a deep respect for context.

Every outstanding residence begins with a clear vision. WLRD highlights work that listens to place, responds to lifestyle and pushes residential design forward — across categories such as:

Houses & VillasPrivate estates, family residences
Apartments & PenthousesLuxury towers, serviced residences
Coastal & Retreat ResidencesBeachfront, countryside homes
Urban & Cultural LandmarksCity icons with residential programs
Mixed-Use & Hybrid LivingIntegrated residential within mixed-use
