Sustainable Project of the Year Derwenthorpe Phase One by Studio Partington

摘要

Derwenthorpe stands out as an exceptional exercise in place-making and a rigorous exemplar of sustainable housebuilding. 'Many elements of the ambitious first phase of this project are easily replicable,' said the judges.The new neighbourhood of 64 homes, which represents just 12 percent of the eventual masterplan, reads as an extension of York, ratherthan a greenfield build. Green infrastructure lies at the heart of the masterplan, with the open space shaped by flood prevention and landscaping for biodiversity.
