A budding architect at Sheffield Hallam University has scooped a top award from the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).
Suki Sehmbi, 21, was given the Gold Prize in the undergraduate category of RIBA Yorkshire’s Student Awards 2013 for his design that sought to improve the economy, environment and architecture in the seaside town of Whitby.
His award-winning project looked at generating business and economic growth through the design of a regenerated site to encourage more fishing vessels to import and export through the area, with predicted profits making room for further developments.
The project would be based around the marina close to the mouth of the River Esk.
