Year in Review: Top 10 Projects of 2025
After a year at BEC, Network Coordinator Kale Grant-Clarke has developed a deep appreciation for the practice of architecture. As the year draws to a close, he’s selected five projects that caught our attention in 2024.
“Thoughtful design is something I’ve come to value more and more. These projects have shown me how architecture profoundly influences our experiences and surroundings. Each project is distinct in its design and approach, and I hope they inspire you as much as they’ve inspired me.”

This project captivated me with its seamless integration into the natural landscape. Elevated above water and crafted from bamboo, it demonstrates a beautiful balance of sustainability and elegance, creating a space that feels at one with its environment. The choice of bamboo not only enhances the building’s aesthetic but also highlights the possibilities of using renewable materials in modern architecture.
