Recently, the globally renowned architecture platform Architizer officially released the “2025 100 Best Architecture and Design Firms in China” list. X+Living leaped to 12th place, moving up two spots from last year and maintaining its position on the list for the fourth consecutive year.

The jury highly praised: “X+Living consistently sets industry trends with high-standard design excellence and frequently sparks phenomenal market responses.” This evaluation attests to X+Living's sustained leadership in design innovation and market influence.

As a core judging criterion for the list, the number of A+Awards wins directly correlates with rankings. X+Living has garnered numerous accolades in recent years, including:

2025 A+Awards – Architecture + Brick – Jury Winner, Tianjin Zhongshuge
2025 A+Awards – Commercial Interiors – Jury Winner, Tianjin Zhongshuge
2024 A+Awards – 100 Best Architecture and Design Firms in China
2022 A+Awards – Best Commercial Firm
2021 A+Awards – Commercial Retail – Jury Winner, Dujiangyan Zhongshuge

The organizing committee noted in the list that the innovative designs of Chinese domestic firms are gaining increasing global attention:

“From poetic adaptive reuse cases to profound explorations of traditional elements influencing contemporary design, and cutting-edge transportation designs, Chinese architects and architecture firms are blurring the boundaries between 'traditional' and 'modern,' while rediscovering local architectural characteristics within the context of globalization.

Among the multitude of architecture firms, clients often struggle to identify the top firms that best meet their project needs. To address this, Architizer has meticulously compiled the Top 100 China's Leading Architecture Firms list, leveraging over a decade of data accumulation and deep industry expertise.”

Architizer is one of the world's largest architecture websites, hailed by The New York Times as “the Facebook for architects.” With a user base of over 400 million, its database includes more than 30,000 architecture firms and over 130,000 projects. The platform annually presents the Architizer A+Awards, which, due to its professionalism and extensive participation, has redefined the architecture industry and is acclaimed as the “Oscars of Architecture.”
