Judges’ Comments
“Affordable housing is much needed in Cambridge, and this scheme aims to provide one- and two-bed housing and to regenerate the area, replacing a dilapidated row of shops with flats above. The scheme comprises fourteen units with a mix of balconies and garden access, a community centre and space for a nursery. The housing is functional and successful, generating positive feedback from tenants, and represents real success from a small budget. We liked the positive use of colour. We urge the Council to make swift progress in letting the shops so that the project can realise its full potential.”
