This comprehensive regeneration scheme repurposes a previously underutilised site adjacent to York’s Central Historic Core Conservation Area. Styled to complement the local vernacular, the new building is sympathetic in its external design
and detail.
Internally it provides generously sized and immaculately planned sustainable living and amenity
space for 303 students.
Bordering on BREEAM Excellent, the predominantly vehicle-free development, featuring 155 cycle spaces, sits between the city’s two universities. With its bold architecture, imaginative public-access pocket park and active ground-floor frontage, this landmark scheme, impressive in its own right, also provides the catalyst for the further regeneration of James Street.
