The Danes have a longstanding artistic heritage that traces back to the Vikings and is strongly upheld in today’s modern world. Historically, the architecture of Denmark was reflected by its reigning sovereign, many of which deeply admired French architecture and commissioned the French to build up its monarchical landscape. One will find that Denmark’s various imperial residences, like the Rosenborg Castle in Copenhagen, often resemble the formal and aesthetic qualities of French Renaissance châteaux.

Notwithstanding the foreign influence, a strong nationalist aesthetic flourished in the 20th century, when Nordic Classicism, Functionalist architecture and Modernism dominated. Denmark’s thriving post-war modernist scene positioned many architects like Jørn Utzon and Johan Otto von Spreckelsen on the international map. Denmark’s commitment to urban redevelopment, culture-building and public planning has influenced neighboring countries, positioning the nation as a critical player in the global architecture and planning community. Indeed, their expertise is often called upon internationally (think the Sydney Opera House, the Grande Arche de la Défense near Paris and the Museum of Liverpool).

With so many architecture firms to choose from, it’s challenging for clients to identify the industry leaders that will be an ideal fit for their project needs. Fortunately, Architizer is able to provide guidance on the top design firms in Denmark based on more than a decade of data and industry knowledge.

How are these architecture firms ranked?

The following ranking has been created according to key statistics that demonstrate each firm’s level of architectural excellence. The following metrics have been accumulated to establish each architecture firm’s ranking, in order of priority:

• The number of A+Awards won (2013 to 2025)
• The number of A+Awards finalists (2013 to 2025)
• The number of projects selected as “Project of the Day” (2009 to 2025)
• The number of projects selected as “Featured Project” (2009 to 2025)
• The number of projects uploaded to Architizer (2009 to 2025)

Each of these metrics is explained in more detail at the foot of this article. This ranking list will be updated annually, taking into account new achievements of Denmark architecture firms throughout the year.

Without further ado, here are the 30 best architecture firms in Denmark:

What goes on Down Under? With such a large body of water separating this Oceanic country from the rest of the Western world, it is easy to forget Australia’s similarities to its North American counterparts. When it comes to the built environment, Australia’s architectural landscape is filled with trends and advancements quite similar to those explored in the West. Nevertheless, the country maintains a distinct architectural lexicon rooted in its particular climate, landscape, Indigenous heritage and colonial past.

The country’s Western influence can be attributed to the British colonial period, which is apparent today in the Victorian-style homes and Gothic churches found all over Australia. The nation also maintains a keen interest in heritage, with structures such as the famed Sydney Opera House, Australian Convict Sites and Royal Exhibition Building receiving UNESCO Heritage status. Beyond its British ties lies an incredible landscape well-suited for architectural exploration and indoor-outdoor living as well as a commitment to ecologically responsible design.

With so many architecture firms to choose from, it’s challenging for clients to identify the industry leaders that will be an ideal fit for their project needs. Fortunately, Architizer is able to provide guidance on the top design firms in Australia based on more than a decade of data and industry knowledge.

How are these architecture firms ranked?

The following ranking has been created according to key statistics that demonstrate each firm’s level of architectural excellence. The following metrics have been accumulated to establish each architecture firm’s ranking, in order of priority:

• The number of A+Awards won (2013 to 2025)
• The number of A+Awards finalists (2013 to 2025)
• The number of projects selected as “Project of the Day” (2009 to 2025)
• The number of projects selected as “Featured Project” (2009 to 2025)
• The number of projects uploaded to Architizer (2009 to 2025)

Each of these metrics is explained in more detail at the foot of this article. This ranking list will be updated annually, taking into account new achievements of Australia architecture firms throughout the year.

Without further ado, here are the 30 best architecture firms in Australia:

These annual rankings were last updated on January 30, 2025. Want to see your firm on next year’s list? Continue reading for more on how you can improve your studio’s ranking.

Modernism is often associated with the International Style. However, some of the best examples are those that re-interpret existing architectural traditions through the language of contemporary building materials and technologies. Mexican architecture is exemplary in this regard. Throughout the 20th century, architects found ample inspiration in the country’s architecturally fertile history. Indeed, Mexico’s countless pre-Hispanic and colonial heritages combine to form the largest concentration of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the Americas. In the decades following the Mexican Revolution of 1917, federal funding for housing, education and healthcare programs fueled a creative culture of design and construction.

Today, the country continues to innovate, with socio-political agendas pushing the envelope in volume, materiality and environmental footprint. While Luis Barragán’s name continues to loom large on the scene, Frida Escobedo and Tatiana Bilbao are also making ways by changing the urban landscape into a contemporary and socially responsible space. Mexico’s architectural palimpsest has equally intrigued contemporary designers to revive the vernacular building traditions of its indigenous ancestors.

With so many architecture firms to choose from, it’s challenging for clients to identify the industry leaders that will be an ideal fit for their project needs. Fortunately, Architizer is able to provide guidance on the top design firms in Mexico based on more than a decade of data and industry knowledge.

How are these architecture firms ranked?

The following ranking has been created according to key statistics that demonstrate each firm’s level of architectural excellence. The following metrics have been accumulated to establish each architecture firm’s ranking, in order of priority:

• The number of A+Awards won (2013 to 2025)
• The number of A+Awards finalists (2013 to 2025)
• The number of projects selected as “Project of the Day” (2009 to 2025)
• The number of projects selected as “Featured Project” (2009 to 2025)
• The number of projects uploaded to Architizer (2009 to 2025)

Each of these metrics is explained in more detail at the foot of this article. This ranking list will be updated annually, taking into account new achievements of Mexico architecture firms throughout the year.

Without further ado, here are the 30 best architecture firms in Mexico:

Following the dramatic political changes of the 20th century, a branch of modernist thinking made its way to Vietnam’s architectural landscape. Locals began to embrace this new wave of modernist architecture as a form of self-expression that differentiated itself from past colonial design. Vietnamese architects found unique ways to express themselves in an increasingly international structural language. Concrete, glass and metal took precedence over the past favoring wood, and modern structures began to appear — especially in Ho Chi Minh City — which attracted foreign business, bolstering the country’s urbanization and featuring site-specific architecture and biophilic design.

Like anywhere in the world, Vietnamese architecture is not only informed by its governance and faith but also the local climate. Regionally speaking, the architecture differs to accommodate specific climatic conditions. In the highlands and midlands, for example, one will find stilted homes that accommodate the region’s rain-prone conditions, whereas traditional one-storied dwellings are found in the region’s dryer lands. Such a hybrid blend of architectural styles and diverse topography makes for a fascinating yet widely diverse built environment.

With so many architecture firms to choose from, it’s challenging for clients to identify the industry leaders that will be an ideal fit for their project needs. Fortunately, Architizer is able to provide guidance on the top design firms in Vietnam based on more than a decade of data and industry knowledge.

How are these architecture firms ranked?

The following ranking has been created according to key statistics that demonstrate each firm’s level of architectural excellence. The following metrics have been accumulated to establish each architecture firm’s ranking, in order of priority:

• The number of A+Awards won (2013 to 2024)
• The number of A+Awards finalists (2013 to 2024)
• The number of projects selected as “Project of the Day” (2009 to 2024)
• The number of projects selected as “Featured Project” (2009 to 2024)
• The number of projects uploaded to Architizer (2009 to 2024)

Each of these metrics is explained in more detail at the foot of this article. This ranking list will be updated annually, taking into account new achievements of Vietnam architecture firms throughout the year.
