It’s true: 2020 brought great heartbreak, but it also brought great joys. We were fortune to see long-awaited projects finish and open, team members honored for years of hard work, and designs celebrated for the ways in which they enhance their communities and impact their local economies.

Great work – award-winning work – is the culmination of years of effort, hundreds of hours, and the dedication of many. Which is why, when projects are nominated for awards (or even better: win them), it’s a testament to the power of teamwork, creative collisions, and the people who made vision reality. We were fortunate to have a few such projects this year.
