Welcome to RIBA Yorkshire’s Architecture Review 2006. This
annual review highlights some of the new buildings in the
Yorkshire and Humber region; and showcases those that won
RIBA Awards and RIBA Yorkshire White Rose Awards for
Design Excellence in 2005. Sixty-three buildings from across the
Yorkshire and Humber region were entered for the White Rose
Awards in 2005. Eighteen were shortlisted and twelve awards
were given. The quality and standard of the entries was
extremely high, and the range of projects entered was diverse,
ranging from the new Underground Gallery at the Yorkshire
Sculpture Park to an innovative school classroom and several
domestic extensions.
David Smith
Regional Chairman
The RIBA Yorkshire White Rose Student Medal Awards continue
to recognise the skills and talents of students from Architecture
Schools around the region, together with other allied
professional courses within the construction industry. In 2005,
four students from Architecture Schools at Leeds Metropolitan
University, the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam
University received awards.
The highly successful 4x4 Making Places lecture series goes
from strength to strength, with a strong line-up of participants in
the 2006 ‘International Green’ sessions held in March. The
series is now a nationally-recognised entry on the architectural
calendar. For more details, see the website
www.makingplaces.com.
RIBA Yorkshire Region covers Yorkshire and The Humber: it is
directed by a Council elected from amongst its 1,320 Chartered
Members. Across the Region are nine local Branches, which
promote design excellence locally and support the profession.
The RIBA Regions fulfil a vital co-ordinating role between RIBA
Members and the public. We provide core services for RIBA
Members and administer key RIBA strategies. The Regions
promote architecture and RIBA Members, through events and
initiatives. We also ensure that RIBA Members maintain their
professional competency through provision of a Continuing
Professional Development programme.

This project aims to explore prototypes for the future of classroom design.
The classroom itself is a large space whose volume is formed by a series of portal frames clad
in corrugated steel, oak and polycarbonate sheeting. Internally, the classroom uses natural light
and a variety of materials as natural stimulation.
This building has made a huge impact on the daily lives of children, staff and adults who use it,
offering imaginative design solutions, flexibility of use and access for all.
The White Rose Award jurors found this project delightful and an exemplar for new school
buildings. Much of this was due to the close involvement of the teaching staff in the briefing
process and throughout design development, hence the RIBA Yorkshire White Rose Award judges
awarded the school’s staff and pupils the Client of the Year Award.

This building is characterised externally by its use of a reddish lignum panel and the use of dark
bricks. As quite a large college on a tight site, it is laid out over several storeys and is relatively
compact in its planning.
The jurors were impressed by the way the building provided such an interesting range of spaces,
generating such a pleasant and dynamic atmosphere for learning that many of the students delay
going home after school is over.
This is a completely new college and is a good example of how design can have a critical,
positive effect on the well-being of the institution and on its neighbourhood.

What is the RIBA?
The RIBA is the first and most famous
architectural institute in the world. Founded in
1834, its mission is:
To advance architecture by demonstrating
benefit to society and promoting excellence in
the profession.
It is a registered charity and has more than
32,000 members in over 100 countries.
The RIBA is its architect members. A
voluntary, democratic, self-financing and
independent worldwide association, who
share the same knowledge base and the
same concern for the built environment.
Jack Pringle, RIBA President
The RIBA is an international knowledge-based
network, committed to the improvement and
enjoyment of architecture. The collective voice
of its membership is powerful and is used
effectively in dialogue with Government,
clients and the construction industry.
RIBA is governed by a Council of 62, elected
from its Chartered (ie architect) members. The
RIBA President, Jack Pringle, is separately
elected by the Chartered members and he
chairs RIBA Council.
The 190-strong staff of the RIBA are led by the
Chief Executive, Richard Hastilow. There is a
structure of regions and branches, with 14
regional offices across the UK.

The scheme involved the retention and conversion of early buildings, selective demolition of later
structures and insertion of new buildings to increase density on the site. Wherever possible
original elements were retained and repaired using traditional materials.
The existing and new buildings have been laid out to create a variety of external spaces linked
by pedestrian and vehicle routes. The area has been given a new lease of life by such a vibrant
redevelopment of the existing derelict site.
The judges awarded the Regeneration Award for this sympathetic restoration that sits well with
contemporary new build.

You might be a client whose needs may be
best served through an architectural
competition, enabling you to choose from a
variety of schemes to resolve your project.
The RIBA Competitions Office is able to
advise on the most appropriate competitive
process for your project, and has the
resources to smoothly manage and administer
the whole process for you, through to the
appointment of a winner.
If you are planning to select your architect or
design team through competition, the RIBA
Competitions Office is able to advise on the
most appropriate competitive process for your
project, and if required, can manage the
process smoothly through to the appointment
of the winner.
An RIBA approved competition provides a
client with several valuable benefits – RIBA
endorsement, which is critical in the eyes of
many clients; agreed costs and timescales;
co-ordinated publicity; alternative architectural
designs; and not least a tangible atmosphere
of excitement in the selection of a quality
building through a well structured and
auditable process.
There are two distinct forms
of competition:
1. Find the right architect or design team
for a project
Finding the right architect is usually done
through Competitive Interview. This
process is relatively quick and is
especially suited to projects where
appointing an architect is required to help
the client develop the project brief.
● Competitive Interview: Expressions of
interest are requested from registered
architects, with a shortlist being selected
for interview. Only a broad project brief is
required, and a commitment to build.
2. Find the most appropriate design
solution for a project
Finding the most appropriate design
solution requires a detailed brief to be
issued to all participants to enable
comparative design submissions to be
made.
● Open Ideas Competitions to identify a
range of possible design solutions, against
a broad conceptual brief, with no
commitment to build.
● Open Project Competition to find a single
design solution. Often a two-stage
competition, open to all registered
architects with a detailed project brief
and a commitment to build.
● Invited Competition to find a single design
solution. Restricted to selected architects,
with a detailed project brief and a
commitment to build.

One of the largest purpose-built galleries to have been constructed in Britain in a number of
years, the brief was to create a series of indoor gallery spaces which would be capable of
accommodating large scale pieces.
A particular focus was ensuring a sensitive intervention in the historic landscape. The solution
was to tuck the Gallery under the sloping lawn of the 18th century Bothy Garden, with extensive
views over Bretton Park.
The 300m long gallery concourse is clad internally in Pennine Sandstone. The south-facing front
elevation is fully glazed. Large sliding timber doors can be used to vary the degree of enclosure.
The continuous rooflight washes the rear wall with daylight.
The White Rose Award judges admired the intelligently simple concept of this scheme.
They describe it as a fantastic, atmospheric building with the architects’ use of space providing a
calming atmosphere.

Why use an Architect?
Whether you intend to construct a new
building, expand your current facility, or adapt
an existing structure to a new use, it makes
sense to consult a professional who shares
your concerns.
Are you a commercial client
commissioning architecture?
Architects are trained to take your brief and
can see the big picture – they look beyond
your immediate requirements to design flexible
buildings that will adapt with the changing
needs of your business.
Architects solve problems creatively – when
architects are involved at the earliest planning
stage, they gain more opportunities to
understand your business, develop creative
solutions, and propose ways to reduce costs.
Architects can save you money by maximising
your investment. A well-designed building can
reduce your bills now and increase its longterm value.
Architects can manage your project from site
selection to completion. In many building
projects the role of the architect includes
co-ordinating a team of specialist consultants
such as landscape architects, engineers,
quantity surveyors, interior designers, builders
and subcontractors.
Architects can save you time – by managing
and co-ordinating key project elements,
allowing you to focus on your organisation’s
activities.
Architects can help your business – they
create total environments – interior and
exterior – which are pleasing and functional
for the people who work and do business
within them.

The brief was to develop
Otley’s disused Victorian
Courthouse complex for use
as a multi-purpose
community venue able to
accommodate a wide range
of activities and events.
Rationalising the
accessibility was one of the
principal challenges.
A new building was built to
link the two wings of
accommodation and to
provide a single central
entrance using lightweight
steel and glass.
The restored cell corridor is
a focus for heritage
activities. The new
environmental technologies
included in the
refurbishment works provide
an education and advocacy
showcase.

This traditional Edwardian
property has been
sympathetically extended to
stunning effect. The house is
set in a gorgeous rural
location with a fabulous
garden, of which the fullyglazed south façade allows
uninterrupted views.
Ancient and modern have
been tastefully combined.
The use of slate, stone and
exposed green oak beams
give the space a natural,
rustic feel.
The extension is a light and
airy building which takes its
inspiration from the
proportions and materials of
the original house.
14
The owners say that the
extension has totally
transformed the way in which
the house can be enjoyed
and has become the centre of
family life.

Through this cut stone façade, a cantilevered
cedar-clad bedroom pod projects, giving
modelling and drama to the elevation.
Passing through the double height entrance
slot, through the off-centre pivot door, the
interior opens out into a central double-height
space, forming the focus of the scheme.
An indoor swimming pool, projecting internal
balconies and a fully-glazed western façade
create a thoroughly modern interior, which
embraces the superb view towards the
neighbouring Abbey and golf course.
The design of the house was influenced
heavily by its surroundings to the east.
A strong, fortress-like façade creates a
dramatic backdrop to the entrance courtyard
respecting aspect distances to neighbouring
properties.

Residential
Fleetham House is situated in a highly
sensitive site within a Conservation Area and
on the edge of the Green Belt. Adjacent to a
Grade II Listed building, the design had to
address many constraints whilst creating the
highly modern and individualistic dwelling
requested by the client. Having established a
volume and location of building that was
acceptable to the local area Planning
Department, the new form of access was
established though a gentrified cruck barn to
a newly created courtyard.

The sensitive conservation of the wellpreserved ruins was a key aim. To arrest
decay in the vaulting, the aisle roofs have
been reinstated for the first time since the
Reformation, using traditional materials.
Along with the conservation of stonework
there has been a programme of
enhancements to enable more public access
to the Abbey, and provide a sensitive
floodlighting scheme.
The Laybrothers’ Reredorter, formerly a
medieval toilet building, has been converted
and extended for use as a Visitor Centre and
sensitively conserved to present evidence of
the building’s use over time. A concealed
modern structure now supports the 17th
century barn roof timbers. A section of the
Laybrothers’ toilets has been recreated, so
visitors can interpret how the building may
have looked in the Middle Ages.
The sensitive
conservation of the wellpreserved ruins was a

Public
Leeds City Council, in conjunction with a
range of specialist consultants and
contractors, led by Purcell Miller Tritton, has
completed an ambitious programme of
conservation and improvement to this fine
Cistercian Abbey and its surrounding
parkland, which is a Scheduled Ancient
Monument. The aim of the work is to
preserve the beautiful ruins and parkland for
present and future generations of Leeds to
enjoy. Works were funded by the Heritage
Lottery Fund and the City Council.
