Burnhome Green
YORK - ON SITE
Shortlisted: Housing Design Award (Project) 2022
BBUK are part of the multi-disciplinary design team, led by Mikhail Riches working on the Burnhome Green site for The City of York Council as part of their ground-breaking Housing Delivery Programme to achieve Passivhaus zero carbon housing at scale.
Burnhome, located to the east of the city centre includes 85 new homes arranged with traffic calming measures as a single loop. Biodiversity has played a large part in how we developed the public spaces, and a community garden lies at the heart of the scheme, providing a safe place for children to play and people to meet.
Engaging with local communities has been key to developing the plans on both sites which offer a mix of affordable and outright sale homes, are low carbon, walkable, beautiful, local neighbourhoods built in harmony with their surroundings, and adhering to the latest environmental standards.
