Race Cottam design concept for the new-build acute wards at Kendray Hospital revolves around the notion of a natural environment.
The development is next to the site of the proposed St Vincent's Park which will be Sheffield's first public open space to be located on top of a multi-storey car park and will be 'green roofed'.
The St Vincent's Quarter, in the north west of Sheffield, features a series of other important listed buildings along streets which still follow historic strip field boundaries.
Sitting high above the Don Valley basin, the area is famed for its panoramic city views towards the northern peaks and beyond.
Solly Street architects Race Cottam have been based in the area for 13 years and are a leading player in the transformation of the Quarter with past and current proposals for several sites in the area.
Architect Matt Beach, from Race Cottam Associates, said: "This development is fantastic news for the ongoing regeneration of the St Vincent's Quarter.
Big things are happening in the area currently and Race Cottam are proud to be having a helping hand in it." The units have been designed by Race Cottam on behalf of development managers AQH Micklegate.
