Derwenthorpe
Derwenthorpe, York
Description
64 low energy homes at Osbaldwick form the first phase of Derwenthorpe. The architecture builds on the rich legacy of Joseph Rowntree’s model village at nearby New Earswick, planned by Raymond Unwin and Barry Parker over a century ago. Large steeply pitched roofs, painted brickwork and striking dormer windows combine to create a distinctive sense of place.
