Bootham House

York, North Yorkshire

​

Described as a truly exceptional contemporary house, the state-of-the-art new build house is located in Bootham only a short walk from York city centre. The property is located in City of York's Historic Core Conservation Area No.1. 

​

The design intent was to create an exemplar sustainable dwelling in a tight city centre site, utilising a holistic approach to sustainability through design, building technology and materials..

​

The project involved successfully obtaining planning permission for demolition in the conservation and erection of a new property on the site. The new building is built on the site of the former house, but involved raising the roof levels and significant areas of contemporary glazing. 

​

The project has technology at the heart and includes Rako light system, Sonos sound, smart opaque glass, electric blinds and fully zoned underfloor heating.
