Situated next to Grade II listed Ousefield House, Urban Renaissance consists of 4 luxury 4-bed and 5-bed new build homes on the edge of the City of York.

Each property has been designed to respond to the sensitive nature of the site, respecting the existing mature trees and prominence of Ousefield. The features also take reference from the surrounding conservation area.

The dynamic massing and contemporary appearance ensures the homes are architecturally distinctive within the setting. Equally, the use of high-quality materials and focus on external environment provides a solution which compliments the surrounding qualities.

The selection and design of the brickwork and exterior detailing assists in visually referencing Ousefield, while timber cladding and bespoke timber fins soften elements of the properties, adding architectural interest and solar shading.

Zinc cladding matches the tone of traditional slate, yet provides a contemporary look.

High levels of insulation, Air Source heat pumps, Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery, and 22 KW three-phase electric car charging points all contribute to the sustainability credentials of these premium new homes near York.

Kitchen’s are custom designed by Nixons Project Exclusive and equipped with a range of high-end Neff appliances that offer smart connectivity via the Home Connect app; a Quooker fusion tap; island with waterfall edge; smooth painted shaker doors and contrasting high structure Feelwood slab décor on a brushed granite handleless rail system; a bespoke bar with wine cooler, LED lit splash back and bottle chiller; and ample flexibility for formal dining.

Bathrooms have been beautifully designed by Abacus and feature chic Villeroy and Boch sanitary ware, along with sleek Hansgrohe brassware, ensuring function is as impressive as form.
