Designed by: York Conservation Trust
Built by: Pinnacle Conservation Ltd.
For: York Conservation Trust
York Conservation Trust is responsible for over 70 historic York buildings, from small shops to major civic buildings. Although not the largest, 60 Goodramgate, is one of our oldest and most significant properties.
The building has stood empty for several years while the project has been developed and adapted to suit the unique qualities of the site.
One of the first projects in the Trust’s newly developed 10-year plan, it exemplifies the benefits this will bring by putting an important historic building back into use and creating unique spaces that people will want
to use for a long time.
Judges comments from the Awards evening
“The John Shannon Conservation Award goes to a project which recovers and celebrates a building’s long history. The scheme demonstrates the value of taking a patient and informed approach to understanding our inheritance and of working with it. The result is a distinctive building with rich spaces and intriguing details – all having been repaired and cared for by specialists in each field.”
