Assorted windows, Sheffield, 2024

A large, grey, three-story concrete building with black trim sits on a street corner. The ground floor hosts “Penny Black” pub with orange and green signs. Three people and a man in sunglasses with a cap stand in the foreground under a partly cloudy sky.
A tall, modern office building with a grey and black facade, multiple rows of large windows, and a flat roof stands against a cloudy sky. At ground level, there is a dark entrance and a sign reading St James House.
The image shows the exterior of a gray, windowed building with dirty white tiles. Some windows are covered with black panels, while others are exposed. A single orange curtain is visible in one window. A black streetlamp stands in front of the building.

Assorted windows to finish off the Sheffield trip.

  1. The Royal Mail delivery office located above the Penny Black pub.
  2. St James House, a 1960’s office block (a hardy perennial of modernism).
  3. Side of the old John Lewis building.

Division House, Sheffield, 2024

Street view of a city with people walking. Foreground buildings have concrete and glass facades, including a shop called MoonKo with a yellow door. The sky is overcast, and there are more modern and older buildings along the busy street.

Division House boasts 39 stylish studios across three floors, delivering a total of 23,713 sq ft of contemporary living space. Conveniently situated in central Sheffield, between Sheffield Hallam University and The University of Sheffield, this development is popular among young professionals and students alike.

Who cares! Division House is a concrete (ex-office?) block of rather small proportions, but that makes it all the more charming. Notice the incised triangles in-between the retrofitted windows.

The block next door is good, too, but I couldn’t get a good shot of it. The tower in-between separates the two buildings nicely.

Charter House, Sheffield, 2024

A three-story, gray and brown building labeled CHARTER HOUSE 14 has large windows, graffiti on the ground floor, and a glass door. The street and curb are in front, with yellow and blue markings on the sidewalk. The building looks rundown.

Lovely big windows, concrete and brick, retro typeface, and basically derelict, what’s not to love.

John Lewis car park, Sheffield, 2024

A large, gray, concrete multi-story car park with a blank, windowless facade, covered in graffiti at the street level. Several people walk nearby under a cloudy sky. Street signs and barriers are visible at the building’s base.

Pleasingly rectangular car park round the back of the old John Lewis in Sheffield. Angles so sharp I feel like I could cut myself on its’ corners. Tile-mania continues, too!

Fountain Precinct, Sheffield, 2024

A modern office building with rectangular, reflective windows and gray tiled exterior. The structure has multiple stories and a geometric design. The sky, with light clouds, is reflected in the windows, adding a soft hue to the building’s facade.
A modern urban courtyard with stone paths, flowerbeds, and benches. Surrounding the area are tall office buildings with bronze-tinted glass windows. The MANAHATTA sign is visible on one building. Trees and cloudy sky are in the background.

Nothing particularly extraordinary about this one, the Fountain Precinct – I just love the way the golden glass reflects beside the brown tiles, particularly beautiful before Tumblr’s compression got to it and dulled it 💔
