1-5 Davygate, York
"1-5 Davygate is an important development which successfully blends
commercial aspirations with a sense of civic dignity" RIBA
1-5 Davygate is a 4,500 square metre retail development in the centre
of York. The site is in the heart of a conservation area and surrounded
by listed buildings. A previous building on the site provided ground
floor retail space with offices above and a large carpark to the
rear. The new scheme provides three floors of retail space across
the entire footprint. The main limestone clad elevation follows
the gentle curve of the street.
Panter Hudspith's involvement extended to the design of individual
shopfronts ensuring a consistent treatment to the whole facade.
The scheme won approval following the endorsement of both English
Heritage and the Royal Fine Arts Commission. In the course of the
project, the scheme was expanded to incorporate an adjacent 1851
Methodist Chapel.
