Welcome to Sunset’s Home & Design Awards Directory, our definitive celebration of the architects, interior designers, landscape visionaries, kitchen thinkers, and next-generation makers who are shaping the way we live in the West. From fire-conscious cliffside retreats and climate-integrated compounds to sculptural seating and color-forward tile, this is design with intention and soul. This inaugural list captures a movement—a convergence of innovation and regional identity—and it marks the beginning of what will be Sunset’s annual recognition of the most compelling talents working in the industry today.
