The Architects' Darling Award honours leading innovative forces within the building industry. For the eleventh annual ceremony, Gira was selected twice as the winner:

• Gold for best electrotechnology

• Gold for best advertisement

No less than 1,800 architects and planners cast their vote for the award’s survey in 2021. A jury of renowned representatives from international architectural offices, along with media and communications experts, also weighed in.

In 2021, Gira won two awards as well. The first gold price was awarded for their trailblazing product range in the field of electrotechnology. The second one honoured a German advertisement for the Gira System 106 in black matt: just as the product itself, the print ad stands out with a monochrome-minimalistic, yet striking design.  

Within the category of "Best Website", Gira competed with almost 200 manufacturers who participated in Germany's largest industry survey.

In 2020, 25 types of products were evaluated – from floor coverings to technical innovations that became more important during the pandemic, f. ex. air conditioning and ventilation. Moreover, 12 theme awards were presented by a jury consisting of communication experts as well as renowned representatives of top international architecture firms. Gira won gold "Best Website".

The Architects‘ Darling Award has recognsed Gira as one of the most creative and competitors in the industry.

The video that gained us a prize for "Best Film" tells our story: We're the ones with switches, and so much more beyond that. We're Smart Home pioneers, KNX experts, and designers of the future. The prize for "Best Product Innovation – Technology" honoured our Gira Pushbutton Sensor 4. This smart device can perform up to eight individual functions in KNX systems. The colour-adjustable LEDs serve as a status display for connected devices.
