2020 Architects were thrilled to be announced UK winners in the 'One to Watch Company'
category of the Construction Computing Awards 2016. As an architectural practice situated
in the North Coast of Northern Ireland, 2020 architects are passionate about pushing the
boundaries of design demonstrating a practical commitment to enhancing the overall
experience of architecture. We see this in the design of our houses across the country -
which have a specialised aesthetic gained through our thorough knowledge of natural,
local materials and how these can be used in house design to create a truly varied and
exclusive design palette. This has been assisted by our fully-immersive Virtual Reality suite
which enables design aesthetics to be changed and tested in real time. Naturally, our award
takes pride position in our office and is a huge testament to the work of all our employees.
