The Fuse-designed student village at Lawrence Street in York has been shortlisted for the ‘Residential Development of the Year 2018’ award at the Insider Yorkshire Property Awards. This comes hot on the heels of shortlistings in the 2018 RIBA Awards, the 2018 RICS Awards, the 2018 Construction News Awards and the 2018 York Design Awards – where the project scooped the Best Large Residential Development Award.

The project was designed for Select Property Group, the UK’s market-leading developer and operator of student accommodation and provides 644 student rooms in 15 new and 3 listed existing buildings set in a stunning, mature landscape surrounding a former convent building – which now houses the community facilities. Fuse began working on the project in 2014 and it opened its doors to the first student residents in September 2017.
