International Architecture Award for Malmö Stadsteater Hippodromen 11.08.25

The renovation of the Malmö Stadsteater Hippodromen has been announced as one of the winners of the prestigious Chicago Athenaeum International Architecture Awards in the Restoration/Renovation category.

The awards, in their 20th year, presented in conjunction with the Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies is the oldest and most prestigious global architecture prize, highlighting new and groundbreaking design from around the world. This year's competition saw a record number of submissions from renowned architects around the world. An international jury of prominent designers then selected the winners from a shortlist of over 500 projects.

Designed by Haworth Tompkins and White Arkitekter in collaboration with Malmö City Theatre and Malmö Stadsfastigheter the theatre reopened in 2023 after a five-year major renovation. The theatre’s transformation reintegrates it into the city’s social fabric, making it a visible and accessible cultural landmark, remaining in keeping with its founding purpose as a meeting place for the people of Malmo. While much of the original building fabric remains and is intrinsically historically valuable, the deeper value is in its ongoing cultural role as a good host to the people of Malmo.
