Winner of the Greater Cambridge Design and Construction Awards 2023 - Best New Building (Under £2m) https://www.cfci.org.uk/awards/awards-winners/2023-2/51-53-argyle-street/ Two new terrace houses in Mill Road conservation area in Cambridge. The small speculative housing development replaces a car repair garage, in a tight urban site, removing contaminated soil and reinstating new garden land. Rather than the typical ’two up - two down’ we introduced highly sustainable three beds and generous modern ground floor living spaces with light filled kitchens enjoying front to back views. Both family homes comply with Part M(4)2 accessibility requirements, allowing them to be adapted to generational needs. The frontages conclude the existing modest terrace with sensitive and crafted details, hoping to add our small contribution to the existing street of railway workers’ houses.
