A regional competition recognising outstanding sustainable projects in architecture, construction and design across the Baltic states has named its top winners for this year.
The 'Sustainability in Architecture, Construction and Design in the Baltics 2026' competition awarded its Grand Prix to two developments: the 'Sanctum' retreat centre in Vilnius, Lithuania, and the 'Lentas' quarter in Riga, Latvia. Both projects were singled out as this year's leading examples of sustainable design in the region.
The results were announced by the competition's organisers. No further details about the evaluation criteria or the reasoning behind the selections have been made public so far. The contest is held annually to highlight achievements in sustainability within the Baltic architecture, construction and design industries, recognising projects that combine functionality with environmentally conscious and sustainable solutions.
