Burgess House is a new-build residential development, which sits at the gateway to the Heart of the City Sheffield Masterplan on a challenging triangular site.
It has contributed to the transformation of the surrounding area into a sustainable and dynamic mixed-use district that celebrates Sheffield’s historic buildings and streetscapes.
Above four new café and retail units, Burgess House creates 52 new apartments over seven storeys, which range from studios to 3 bedroom apartments. The building comprises several sustainable initiatives, including high thermal peformance to reduce energy consumption, integration of solar panels at roof level to generate power and reduce reliance on the grid, and a blue roof to ease pressures on the local drainage network.
The new entry courtyard and surrounding public realm adds to Sheffield City Council’s exemplar ‘Grey to Green’ initiative which combines biodiverse planting and sustainable urban drainage to create a green network that spreads through the city centre.
