The Tatler Homes Design Awards highlights the most beautiful and inspiring abodes in Asia, with editions in Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines
Good design nurtures the human experience. Architects and designers craft interiors as sanctuaries, uplifting moods through innovative concepts tailored to each project's unique context.
Colours, textures, and flow coalesce, transcending utility to stir an emotional connection with our surroundings. These rejuvenating havens transcend utility, beckoning us to embrace restorative moments.
We celebrate these key tenets through the Tatler Homes Design Awards, which will mark its second edition in Malaysia. In Singapore, the awards are entering their eighth edition and in the Philippines, their third, all of which have become highly anticipated events in their respective local design calendars.
The second Tatler Homes Design Awards - Malaysia will be held at the Shangri-la Kuala Lumpur on May 29, 2024, and the winners of the seven categories will be announced.

We look for the most innovative and cohesive home designs in a wide array of styles and scales. These projects must have been either realised by a local studio or an international firm in the country where the awards ceremony is held.
We consider the following five key qualities: design concept, execution, originality, spatial planning, and contextual relevance. These criteria are also examined in response to specific requirements for each individual category.
For instance, the Best Use of Colour category highlights the project that most effectively uses colourful accents and details, while the Best Architectural Concept category considers how the design team creates a unique and contextual solution to the brief.

Just like how every home is uniquely its own, we have also tailored the categories of the Tatler Homes Design Awards to represent the prevailing design trends, tastes, and unique needs of each market.
For instance, the Singapore edition in 2023 introduced a new Best Good Class Bungalow category in recognition of the significant quantity of such projects completed in the past year as well as the uniqueness and scale of the property type that has long been regarded as the cream of the crop in the city-state.
Malaysia's sophomore awards will cover seven award categories:
- Best Architectural Concept
- Best Sustainable Design
- Best Use of Colour
- Best Show Unit
- Best Interior Design
- Designer on the Rise
- Best Innovative Design (Non-residential)
