A truly remarkable building, and wonderfully brought back to life by the whole team who participated. Mikhail Riches have done a remarkable job on Phase 2 - I saw the building before the work started on the restoration and know what a great outcome this has been. Bring on Phases 4 & 5!
Phase 2 is so different to phase 1, but it all still works (though personally, I prefer phase 1 - just love the massive windows!). With all due respect to Mikhail Riches, it's a shame phases 4 and 5 weren't given to different architects, it would have been interesting to see another different approach to the building.
It's funny how often people say this about buildings like this or the Barbican/Balfron as some sort of gotcha when in truth the answer is so many. All these modernist buildings are jammed with architects and designers.
@@secularstagflation2913 Fine, but you haven't answered my question, which relates to Sheffield Park Hill and not London's Barbican. I wonder how many architects live there?
@@jasongray4517 It's a Grade 2 (star) listed building which speaks volumes about it's value in architectural terms...on a par with the Golden Lane estate in London EC1 which is very popular with architects...I can't see why an architect wouldn't be drawn here. It's been a successful project where the resale flats have high value. If you know Sheffield then you'll know this is special. There are certainly architectural practices in the commercial spaces. You'll need to join the guys as they knock on doors for the next census to see how many architects reside here....
Phase 2 was the most recent stage of renovations at park hill. Al the flats with beige/ white/ brown panels and full height windows are part of phase 2

This reminds me of Buijlmer in Amsterdam - specifically Hakfort, where I grew up as a child.
Great architects. Need to hear more from them! Built for generations to come

I wonder how many architects live there - or want to?

I know an architect who not only lives there, but runs his practice from there
The video says there's and architects business run out of the building so I can imagine a few.
What was there BEFORE these flats were built?
A Park Hill
Residential streets, the name of the levels take their names from them
Victorian slums.
That's all great and cinematic, but what is actually happening in phase 2?

Lovely way to gentrify it.
Nice! Just like our Pentagon.
Fab job. If only the cars weren't visible.
Sadly, for Phase 4 they want to add even more parking on a space that's currently green. Because Urban Splash think it's still 1982, apparently!
