The scheme responds to the topography of the area, which falls and rises on the approach from the Station to the City Centre. The landscape concept, when explained, has a clear and interesting design rationale but it may not be readily accessible to the passer by.

There is a good relationship between landscape materials to building material and an integrated public art strategy that relates to the history of Sheffield. The Winter Gardens are 70 metres long and 22 metres wide and are constructed from large wooden arches that are nearly 21 metres high. There is square metres of glass; and the construction includes and intelligent Building Management System that controls the fans and vents.

The Gardens are built on a human scale, cleverly integrating larger structures with space for people of all ages to enjoy.

There is an ongoing proposal for a new building and environmental improvements: There is considerable recognition of economic growth in the City as a result of the public sector investment made in the public realm. This has generated confidence, excitement and a sense of pride and ownership in the city, which has stimulated private sector investment and seeks to generate economic opportunities for a wide range of business and communities.

It was dedicated in to the imperative need to employ peaceful alternatives to deadly conflict, while honoring those who lost their lives here.

The Garden, with its beautiful native plantings see below for plant list , is open to the public and is a peaceful place for contemplation. Our Peace Stones are a unique feature of our Peace Garden which, by itself, is an unusual if not unique feature of a Quaker Meetinghouse. The Committee members helped design and finance the Peace Garden and in so doing conceived the presence of Peace Stones that would be interesting and complement the beauty of the Garden.

The Peace Stones are made to last. They are cut from Vermont granite, have a footprint of 12 inches by 24 or 30 inches and weigh about lb each. The Peace gardens are situated in the city centre and are beautiful. In summer there are many beautiful flower displays and as the gardens are surrounded by walls, it is shut off from the traffic on the main road.

The beautiful town hall forms one A beautiful oasis of engineered calm in the city centre, I saw them at night when lit up and the fountains were still spraying water. A lovely amenity to enjoy in the concrete jungle that is Sheffield.

Peace Garden

Looks really pretty when fountains are going and it's sunny as the children love them running in and out ,also there are plenty of seats to sit and take a rest,plenty of places round about to have a coffee or something to eat. If you have the chance to come when the sun is out, you'll find this place absolutely stunning in the heart of the city centre. A lovely October morning what better than sitting here and relaxing. Really nice when the place is quiet and not busy.
