RAD+ar won the Restaurant Category of the 2025 Arcasia Awards with its project Aruma Split Garden, marking another milestone in the studio’s journey of crafting architecture that is deeply rooted in context and culture.
The Arcasia Awards, one of the most recognized global platforms celebrating architectural excellence, acknowledged Aruma Split Garden for its innovative approach to integrating nature, community, and spatial storytelling. The Split Garden addresses rising land values with a split-level design that creates distinct zones and incorporates nature into a compact footprint. RAD+ar optimized circulation using contemporary elements that blend with tropical surroundings, integrating natural light, greenery, and sensory experiences.
Balancing functionality, aesthetics, and environmental responsibility, the design minimizes material usage and energy consumption through efficient construction techniques and sustainable materials. This approach showcases RAD+ar’s strong commitment to sustainability in commercial projects, where architecture becomes both a creative and ethical practice.
This achievement reinforces RAD+ar’s vision of weaving stories into the built environment—creating spaces that are adaptive, reflective, and profoundly human.
