Park Hill, Sheffield : Deck Access Architecture

Yorkshire Architecture Development, north England, UK - design by Jack Lynn and Ivor Smith

Park Hill Sheffield Deck access housing Grade II* listed in 1998 New photos of Park Hill Phase 1, added 18 Jun 2013: photograph © Daniel Hopkinson Park Hill Renewal 2013 Studio Egret West with Hawkins Brown RIBA Nation Awards 2013 Citation: This is a sensitive regeneration of an heroic Grade II* listed building that had become maligned due to the problems associated with poorly maintained social housing. The client and the architects have addressed the somewhat contradictory demands of conservation and commerce. The team has worked with stakeholders English Heritage to find a balance between retaining the Brutalist language while changing public perception of the building. New iridescent coloured panels give the street frontage a changing face while not challenging the original architecture. The result is visually striking without losing any of the original ‘Park Hill’ look – the ‘streets in the sky’ live on. photographs © Daniel Hopkinson Park Hill Phase 1 South Street, Park Hill, Sheffield, S2 Architect: Hawkins/Brown and Studio Egret West Client: Urban Splash Structural Engineer: Stockley Services Engineer: Ashmount Contractor: Urban Splash Build Contract Value: confidential Date of completion: Feb 2013 Gross internal area: 27,928 sqm RIBA National Award RIBA Yorkshire Award RIBA Yorkshire Conservation Award photographs © Peter Bennett RIBA Awards 2013 : RIBA National Award Winner - 13 Jun 2013 Date: 1960s Architects: Jack Lynn and Ivor Smith Photos © Adrian Welch, Apr 2010: Park Hill redevelopment 2007-12 Studio Egret West & Hawkins Brown Photos © Adrian Welch, Apr 2010: Urban Splash development of listed sixties deck-access housing blocks Aerial view - image taken from the west: photo © webbaviation More Sheffield Architecture photos online soon Studio Egret West + Hawkins & Brown
