A new Passivhaus certified almshouse development for Girton Town Charity in the village of Girton on the outskirts of Cambridge. Specifically designed for the increasing over-55 demographic, the low-rise two-storey community-centred, accessible housing is characterised by white bricks and colourful entrance doors. It consists of three buildings gathered around a newly landscaped communal courtyard, a configuration consistent with the almshouse typology. The 15 energy-efficient, one-bedroom homes are arranged as five bungalows and 10 apartments. The scheme also includes a new office for the charity, adjacent to the homes, which accommodates up to four staff and has been futureproofed for conversion into a one-bedroom bungalow should needs change. Each home has a small terrace area for residents to make their own, as well as access to landscaped communal gardens, orchard, and vegetable garden.
