From Shape Homes York

Duncombe Square is a development of 34 certified Passivhaus homes on the former Duncombe Barracks site on Burton Stone Lane, a 20-minute walk from York Minster and 1.1 miles from York station. The mix is one-bedroom apartments and two-, three- and four-bedroom terraced houses, sold outright or through shared ownership. Each home has a timber-frame superstructure from sustainably sourced timber, triple glazing, solar PV panels, an air source heat pump and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, with a fitted Howdens kitchen with Silestone worktops and integrated appliances, exposed softwood staircases and oak-veneer window surrounds inside. The homes face a communal green with ginnels, planters and communal growing beds at the rear, covered bike storage and communal cargo-bike storage; the scheme is designed around walking and cycling rather than car use. Designed by Stirling Prize winners Mikhail Riches for City of York Council.
