Seven projects shortlisted for the RIBA Yorkshire Awards 2024. 

“The range of schemes submitted for the RIBA Yorkshire Awards demonstrate the growing trend of retrofit and a sustainability-first approach to design,” said RIBA Yorkshire jury Chair Lucy Plumridge, associate director of HLM Architects. “We commend these practices for their innovative designs, which reflect the social and economic impact of reinventing existing buildings.”

“From the radical restoration of Clifford’s Tower which unlocks rooms that have been inaccessible for over 300 years, to a sustainable farmers market building which sensitively connects to the surrounding Crimple Valley and habitats, as well as a concert hall upgrade which enriches a town hall’s cultural offering, there is a fantastic breadth of architecture across the region.”
