Owlstone Croft – Mikhail Riches

Introduction

Owlstone Croft Graduate Housing will provide 13 new postgraduate homes, accommodating 60 student study bedrooms, for Queens’ College Cambridge.

The scheme focuses on the importance of community and social interaction as a support network for students with the creation of ‘homes’ not just rooms. Generous communal space aims to encourage interaction between students, their neighbours and the wider college.

A landscape-led approach permeates the scheme, offering diverse recreational landscapes. The project delivers a low carbon, exemplar scheme for the college’s decarbonisation strategy, which aims to achieve net zero carbon by 2045.
