International Architecture & Design Awards 2026
Platinum Winner – Sports, Recreation & Wellness Facilities
In 2026, Black Sable was awarded the Platinum Prize at the International Architecture & Design Awards for Bisate Sanctuary—recognized in the Sports, Recreation & Wellness Facilities category.
The IADA honours built work that demonstrates design excellence, environmental sensitivity, and meaningful innovation. Bisate Sanctuary was selected for its deeply considered approach to wellness architecture: a design that curates an intentional guest journey through material, shadow, light, temperature, and form; without compromising its relationship to the surrounding Rwandan landscape.
