A museum built beneath a sand dune, an “impossible” hotel room and an office block that changes with the weather are among the winners of the Building of the Year Awards 2019.

Spanning 15 diverse categories, the winners have been selected from over 4,000 different projects by the readers of architecture website ArchDaily.

There are returning winners such as Zaha Hadid and newcomers like Gianni Botsford.

London-based architect Kieran Wardle said: "​It’s great to see such a variety of buildings recognised. With computer-aided design creating ever more outlandish forms, it’s heartening to see small, crafted projects continue to be recognised in these awards."

The Independent has collected all of the winning buildings in the gallery above.
