This project was conceived as a sustainable development from the outset. Our team worked closely with the Yorkshire Agricultural Society (YAS) to create a multi-use building to support the rural community and highlight its agricultural heritage. Included are a hugely popular shop and cafe promoting local food, offices for the Agricultural Society, space for fledgling rural businesses and community meeting rooms.
This highly sustainable building won numerous awards for its green credentials, including:
EG Green Award 2009 - Best Green Building

RICS Renaissance Award for Best Yorkshire Project 2010
RIBA White Rose Award 2010

Local materials and labour were used at every opportunity.
