At Queens’ College Cambridge, we are delivering an ambitious Net Zero Carbon masterplan at their Owlstone Croft site, adjacent to ancient water meadows. Alongside 13 new terraced houses with 60 generous study bedrooms, we are retrofitting 90 study bedrooms and associated living facilities at Owlstone House. The deep retrofit of both the Georgian and mid-19th century buildings has been carefully designed to utilise bio-based materials and reduce operational carbon. The buildings have been reconfigured and extended where necessary to provide sensitive and contemporary teaching facilities and communal space in the form of a reading room, seminar space, gym, cafe and enhanced entrances.
“We are absolutely delighted with the way the team has captured the objectives of our brief and has created a proposed development that will be both inspiring and nurturing.”
