Eye Witness Works, Sheffield

Eyewitness Works is a built exemplar of creative conservation in Sheffield City Centre. The Grade
II listed, 19th century building is situated in the Devonshire Quarter.


The design incorporates four private courtyards, with extensive planting creating beautiful and inviting
private oasis for its residents. A 6 storey green living wall promotes environmental benefits such as biodiversity, increased air quality, acoustic and thermal control.



The development brings back to life a cobbled street, draped with festoon lighting and lined with trees and foliage. It also includes the restoration of a steel press, weighbridge and other historical artifacts that tell a story of Eyewitness Works and its significance to Sheffield


Approved by Sheffield City Council, councilors voted unanimously to approve the plans welcoming the
regeneration of this part of the city stating:


“This is a great time for the Devonshire Quarter in Sheffield as buildings with a rich cultural history and heritage are repurposed in an exciting and imaginative way for today’s 21st century residents.”

The project won a Sheffield Design award in 2024
