The Chocolate Works Shortlisted for the Brick Awards 2023!

We are delighted to have been shortlisted for the Brick Development Association (BDA) Brick Awards 2023!

The Chocolate Works, once the location of Terry’s of York chocolate factory, is an ambitious housing project, on the edge of the city of York, bounded by the Racecourse Conservation Area. The development provides over 320 new homes as a mix of apartments, terraced houses and detached houses.

A ‘fabric first’ approach is the basis of the sustainability strategy with good u-values, low air permeability, carefully controlled thermal bridging and modern methods of construction. There is a strong emphasis on creating places for people to meet and children to play. The design of the site prioritises pedestrians and cyclists, encouraging wider sustainability through the provision of cycle paths that connect to the existing Sustrans network and York city centre and dedicated, secure cycle storage for residents.
