Keith Hayman Award for Public Art. Winner.

Leavygreave Plantables by Artist David Appleyard.

The SCT judging panel felt that the integration of an artist into the design process from the outset has had a significant impact on the scheme, with nods to local heritage in the bronze bottles sat atop monumental sculptural slabs. These form table tops containing circular planting pockets, which use plants connected with food to create a multi‐sensory triumph.

Small Project Award (up to £150k) Sponsored by MSA. Winner.

Public by Melling Ridgeway + Partners for The Rockingham Group.

The winning scheme is not only a jewel in the city but recently won best bar in the country at the OFM awards. Hidden from view in a disused public toilet below Sheffield town hall the space has been reimaged as an oasis of decadence that celebrates and hints at its previous use. The only suggestion of this new life is a simple sign at the top of the stairs. Its tiny interiors invite a limited number to linger, chat and enjoy the irony of spending time in what was a public convenience.
