Case Study: Derwenthorpe, York by Studio Partington for The Jospeh Rowntree Housing Trust (540 homes)

Bringing together ideas of sustainability, community, and landscape, Derwenthorpe is one of the first largescale low carbon communities in Northern England. The settlement extension focuses on high-quality design in the form of shared public-spaces and ‘builtin’ sustainable housing practices. This multi-layered approach has created a strong sense of communal identity that runs throughout the development.

The development is sustainably connected to existing facilities, including schools, shops and public transport. The masterplan recognises the importance of streets as places for social interaction. A central energy centre also functions as a community meeting space and sustainable education centre for the community to come together.
