I am deeply honored that our Coldwell Banker Maximum Headquarters project has been awarded the Platinum Award in the Architecture, Commercial & Retail Architecture, Concept/Professional category at the International Architecture and Design Awards 2025.First and foremost, I would like to sincerely thank Coldwell Banker Maximum family, especially Aylin Pelin Onar, Seçkin Onar, and Murat Erdoğan,for trusting us in this prestigious project and believing in our talent, expertise, and innovative approach.By integrating values such as transparency and sustainability into the architecture, we aimed to create an open,collaborative, and highly functional workspace despite challenging zoning regulations and a limited site.Except for the main staircase core and entrance, the entire structure was designed as a steel-frame system supported by only four columns. This allowed for spacious, uninterrupted,flexible interiors within the constrained site.This project is not only a headquarters but also a strong architectural expression of Coldwell Banker Maximum’s vision.I extend my sincere gratitude to the Architecture & Design Community (ADC) for organizing the International Architecture & Design Awards (IADA) and promoting architectural excellence globally. With over 300 shortlisted projects from more than 45 countries, this competition was carefully reviewed by a distinguished international jury who honored us with this award: Frederick Rickmann /DNgroup, STEENSSEN Aps, DNDC, AFR Thinking Urbans (Denmark),Larry Lim/Anchor Agency (Singapore), Yuting Zhang/Studio RE+N (China),Daryl Villanueva/Bandit9 Motors (Vietnam),Paul Wiseman/The Wiseman Group (USA),Xiaobi (Iris) Pan/Amazon (USA), Alberto Dias Ribeiro/A2OFFICE (Portugal), Jiaru Lin/KMC Corp (USA), Gloria Cabral/STUDIO 4.4 (Brasil), Serhii Makhno/Makhno Studio (Ukraine).I would also like to sincerely thank my project team, Mobina Shafiei and Abel Enabunene Odion, for their dedicated effort and commitment throughout the process.This award belongs to all of us. Looking forward to celebrating many more successes together.https://ad-c.org/winner/cbm-headquarters-platinum-winner-commercial-retail-architecture-category-iada-2025/
