Seven Yorkshire projects, including two in Leeds, have been nominated for a prestigious regional architecture award.

RIBA Yorkshire jury chair Charlotte Harrison said: "This year's shortlist of seven projects embodied a high level of architectural quality across a broad spectrum of criteria.
“From a large-scale city centre office development and a centre for the advancement of heritage skills to the reuse of a Grade I listed Hall and a secluded residence within a regenerated landscape setting, I'm excited to visit the projects across Yorkshire alongside the jury."
All seven projects will be visited by a regional jury, with the winning projects announced later this spring.
Winners will then be considered for a number of RIBA Yorkshire Special Awards, including awards for sustainability and building of the year, before being considered for the RIBA National Award, announced in the summer.
