Royal Festival Hall at the South Bank Centre
Few buildings in Britain generate the public affection given to the Royal Festival Hall. The transformation project has been an opportunity to refurbish this extraordinary building; its clarity of function, composition and organisation; its detail, materials, colour and lighting. The Royal Festival Hall was the first significant public building built after the war and the first modernist building to be Grade I Listed. This recognition came however, at a time when it had become almost unrecognisable, through first radical and later careless change.

Allies and Morrison – major contemporary building
A new £16m multi-story car park, designed by Allies and Morrison Architects for CTP St James Limited, has opened in the heart of Sheffield providing 520 much-needed parking spaces. The building, which is an important part of Allies and Morrison’s masterplan for the regeneration of St Paul’s Place, has already caught the attention of the city with its visually striking cladding system.
The distinctive cladding system is made of a series of aluminium panels mounted in four different orientations resulting in a pattern which creates a varying texture of light and shadow.
