17 Green Roofs

Interesting to flick through for 5 minutes and don’t worry, there’s some more modern stuff than the house shown above in there too.

Sheaf Square Sheffield
I visited Sheffield last week and got the chance to visit the Winter Gardens and railway station. The newly renovated public spaces in Sheffield were some of the best I’ve seen and the work has been successfully carried on into the city towards Sheffield Hallam University and the Winter Gardens.

Dalby Visitor Centre - good concept, patchy execution and crap food
The new Dalby Forest Visitor Centre. Mostly timber, with some glulam beams. Let down by inadequate detailing and workmanship, which means poor finish and lots of future maintenance.
Don’t bother with the food - it ranks as one of the worst meals ever.
