Chair of the Yorkshire judging panel, Roger Hawkins, said: "The RIBA awards are the most rigorously judged awards for architectural excellence.

"In Yorkshire we are at the start of this journey for 2018 considering a wide range of projects from throughout the Region. On offer were buildings and places, both large and small, public and private, including new construction and conservation work that demonstrated innovation in architecture.

"All members of the jury were impressed at the quality of submissions and detailed information provided. This year has been a new focus on sustainability, both economic and environmental as well as the capacity to stimulate, engage or delight. Our lively debate resulted in an exciting shortlist for jury visits next month."
