Judges and Winners of the CCA Awards 2025
At the grand finale of the Creative Colour Awards (CCA) 2025 held in Tokyo, Japan, Nadun S. Saputhantri from Sri Lanka bagged the Architectural Best in Corporate And Commercial Exterior award for the Nosh77 Container Restaurant, integrating a palette of grey-green and brown-orange hues with recycled construction materials to camouflage the building with the surrounding vegetation and create harmony with nature.
In the transformative essence of colour Nippon Paint seeks to honour through the Creative Colour Awards (CCA) 2025, a global celebration of expression and purpose in spatial design. Now in its third year, CCA continues to spotlight architects and interior designers who dare to dream in colour and understand that the right palette has the power to shape how we live, feel, and connect.
Rooted in Nippon Paint’s unwavering vision to elevate the role of colour in architecture and interior design, CCA stands as a tribute to the creative, innovative, and purposeful use of colour and coatings in shaping meaningful spaces. CCA seeks to spotlight standout talents in the field and connect them to other global industry leaders, fostering a vibrant community that values colour not only as a visual medium but as a vehicle for cultural storytelling and human connection. This year, CCA received 188 submissions from across 10 countries and regions, demonstrating how colour can transcend borders and transform the built environment with purpose and imagination.
Free for all to enter, interior and exterior paint finishes of any projects that span public spaces or indoor environments are judged based on colour delivery, involvement of colour in the design process, the social or environmental integration, and the visual impact of the storytelling.
Nippon Paint India Vice President of Marketing and The NIPSEA Group Marketing Lead Mark Titus said: “More than just a celebration of aesthetic brilliance, CCA seeks to highlight the homegrown architects and designers who harness the transformative potential of colour through coatings to breathe life and soul into spaces. We want to provide a platform for industry professionals to experiment and innovate, and continue tapping into their creativity to create environments that benefit communities. We would like to congratulate this year’s winners for delivering thoughtful and impactful designs that balance beauty and sustainability.”
The awards ceremony was held in tandem with the AYDA Awards finale, a flagship event in the world of architecture and interior design that champions the brightest emerging talents. Since its inception, AYDA has welcomed more than 67,000 entries from over 1,600 tertiary institutions across 20 countries and regions, establishing itself as a beacon for future-forward design.
