South Africa's Hubo Studio Named Global Finalist in Architizer A+Awards, Representing South Africa on the World Stage
Johannesburg-based architecture practice Hubo Studio has been named a finalist in 3 categories for the prestigious Architizer A+Awards, one of the world’s most influential honours in architecture and design.
Hubo Studio is one of just five firms globally shortlisted in the Best Small Firm (6 - 15 employees) category, placing the studio among the most impactful emerging practices worldwide.
In parallel, the studio’s flagship project, the Redhill Early Learning Centre, has also been recognised on the global stage. The Redhill Early Learning Centre has been selected as a Finalist in the Architizer A+Awards Educational Interiors category, and as a Finalist in the Architizer A+Awards Kinderkarten category. This is top 5 in the world!
The Architizer A+Awards celebrate the world’s best architecture annually, recognising excellence across a wide range of categories, from individual buildings to global design practices. Finalists are selected by an international jury of leading architects, designers and cultural figures.
The Redhill Early Learning Centre, located in Johannesburg, is widely recognised as a pioneering educational environment. Designed around principles of child-centred learning, the project reimagines the school as a “mini city” - a network of interconnected spaces that promote curiosity, independence and collaboration. Its central piazza, vertical ateliers and seamless integration of indoor and outdoor environments create a dynamic landscape for early childhood development.
Voting for the Popular Choice Award opens on May 4 and runs until May 15, allowing the global public to select a winner in each category. Supporters can vote once per day.
“This recognition is incredibly meaningful for us”
said Asher Marcus, Founder and Lead Architect of Hubo Studio.
“It reflects not only our work, but a broader belief that architecture can shape the way children learn, think and grow. To be representing South Africa on this platform is something we are deeply proud of.”
The winners of the Architizer A+Awards will be announced in June 2026.
