We’re still reflecting on the BALI Awards 2025 and feeling incredibly moved - what a reminder of how important the people are to making this great industry as special and successful as it is.
 
While we celebrated outstanding projects across every category, the Special Award for Posthumous Recognition reminded us what truly matters in this industry. Honouring Nigel Gray’s personal and professional dedication through his work on Water Gems (Alba) at Maggie’s Forth Valley was a poignant moment – a testament to the lasting impact one individual can make. These awards aren’t just about beautiful spaces; they’re about the people who pour their hearts into creating environments that heal, inspire, and endure. If you missed being part of this special evening, don’t let 2026 pass you by.
