2026 Place in Progress

Park Hill, Sheffield for Urban Splash and Places for People with Mikhail Riches, Austin-Smith:Lord, Broadfield Project Management, Civic, Beechfield and Greengauge Building Energy Consultants

Park Hill, a grade II* listed brutalist housing scheme in Sheffield containing 1000 homes, is Europe’s largest listed building. Urban Splash took on its regeneration in 2004. Its exposed concrete frame: a significant aspect of its listing; is also a cold bridge. Our approach was to retain as much of the existing fabric as possible and upgrade it to the highest achievable standards. Bricks have been cleaned, mortar retained, and party walls upgraded acoustically.
