The awards, in association with Architecture Today, recognise outstanding projects executed with Schüco systems across the UK and Ireland. This year marks the 10th anniversary of these highly regarded awards.
The Schüco Excellence Awards applaud the creativity, innovation, technical expertise, and collaborative efforts behind the most remarkable building projects employing Schüco aluminium and steel systems.
Neil Mathews Architects' project in south Belfast has been shortlisted for the Individual House Improvement category.
The project, a contemporary extension to a 1950s house in the Malone Conservation area, showcases meticulous craftsmanship, timely execution, and adherence to budgetary constraints.
The complex nature of the project required the skilled manipulation of various building materials to harmonise the different spaces seamlessly.
Neil Mathews Architects is honoured to be recognised for the awards event, alongside only one other Northern Ireland-based architect practice, Hall McKnight.
