196 Green End Road, Cambridge

We were approached by a local developer to enhance the planning approval on a scheme for 6 apartments. Twenty-Nine Architecture originally appraised the scheme seeking to maximise the site with a mixed use residential/ commercial scheme providing 9 apartments and ground floor commercial space.

The proposals were unanimously approved at planning committee with the committee making it known the scheme was of a high quality design which was also reinforced by the Urban Design officer. We were inspired by the local context and recent trend of development in the area and the building’s elevations reference the rhythm and finishes of the Victorian houses found locally. High-quality brick and stone detailing integrates the new development seamlessly with the surrounding vernacular and will provide a unique and positive built form contributing to the council’s goals in the regeneration of the area.
