Lot M3 occupies a landmark site within Cambridge University’s Eddington development, providing 106 highly sustainable private sale apartments that will complete the central market square. A striking east facing façade of stepping box bay balconies overlooks the new cricket pitch.
The apartments are arranged in two terraces around a central long gallery that gives light and airy circulation. This compact courtyard and rich architectural modelling echo the intricacy of historic Cambridge in a contemporary idiom.
The scheme emphasises the importance of quality shared and public areas and incorporates a street facing gallery/exhibition space at the prominent corner of the site. Resident facilities include a porter’s lodge, secure underground parking, and an extensive, managed rooftop garden.
The low carbon (Code for Sustainable Homes Level 5) building ranges in height from three to five storeys, with most homes having dual aspect accommodation.
Working alongside Hill, the proposals were developed in close collaboration with the University and connect to the new low carbon district energy centre and innovative network of underground waste collection points.
