These long houses are configured in a variety of different ways, including full two and three storey homes and some with room in the roof spaces. Some have ginnels which provide cycle and refuse storage and others include integral garages. They can be used in detached, semi detached and terrace formats. The use of black stained boarding was influenced by local farm buildings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6233602ab7527901a7d6d1ed/406d4b6f-7c0c-4a91-bc9e-0fb2f20e405b/IMG_5532.jpeg Abode, Cambridge - Make it stand out As the development moves eastwards typologies evolve and transition while retaining similar architectural themes. This pocket park terminates the promenade ‘bosque’ space that runs through the great court as it meets Hobsons Avenue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6233602ab7527901a7d6d1ed/228ce5e4-6a60-45bb-99a2-6c86dc1d336d/IMG_5523.jpeg Abode, Cambridge - Make it stand out A carefully designed private mews street provides smaller back to back houses. Suds is provided through the use of a permeable surface and landscape, parking and access to adjoining properties is carefully interwoven. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6233602ab7527901a7d6d1ed/f0b7f5f5-6d38-4523-acb9-e372e0ad3265/IMG_6140.jpeg Abode, Cambridge - Make it stand out Routes from the great court into the surrounding development are carefully framed. This route runs through into an area of long houses and passes a small play area. The perforated metal frieze at high level, using an image of pollarded willows taken from a local meadow and use of repetitive detail and form helps to unite the buildings which contain the Great Court. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6233602ab7527901a7d6d1ed/71286ec7-c855-46b8-a92e-00702342f92a/IMG_1357.JPG Abode, Cambridge - Make it stand out The detailing and materials palette is consistent throughout the development helping to create a sense of legibility, familiarity and a strong sense of place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6233602ab7527901a7d6d1ed/a2d622cd-580a-4ffe-896e-3c75ee62497b/IMG_1346.JPG Abode, Cambridge - Make it stand out Towards the eastern end of the development the long houses become more conventional in nature with gables to the street and the marker block and apartments utilising the same simple materials palette and detailing. The original masterplan and design codes required the road to run into the open space outside Trumpington Park Primary school but with careful consideration this was omitted and a pedestrian/cycle/emergency vehicle route was provided. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6233602ab7527901a7d6d1ed/c67d00a0-8d3d-4df2-b5c9-db497c66c2ea/IMG_1350.JPG Abode, Cambridge - Make it stand out Houses overlook a landscaped open space which provides a Suds swale along with play opportunities for small children. The varying width of the private drive provides servicing for each home alongside opportunities for informal parking. At the head of the space a simple marker block helps identify the transition between this space and the open space located outside Trumpington Park Primary school. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6233602ab7527901a7d6d1ed/ed016a8f-df45-46b2-a2b6-c68d0edc85a5/IMG_6145.jpeg Abode, Cambridge - Make it stand out Elements of the long house typology found further west transition into a courtyard style house with integral garage. Within this typology the house wraps around a courtyard garden with additional private amenity space provided through the use of balconies and roof terraces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6233602ab7527901a7d6d1ed/5f5c2da8-34e3-45ef-bd97-13a9a46c1f2f/IMG_6138.jpeg Abode, Cambridge - Make it stand out The great court includes a unique flat over house typology which helps address the scale of the Addenbrookes Road roundabout. The continuous built form in this area helps to provide a noise barrier from the road to the rest of the development. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6233602ab7527901a7d6d1ed/08df97f0-ca69-4628-85df-4418565a5233/IMG_0309D.JPG Abode, Cambridge - Make it stand out The development ends at a new open space outside Trumpington Park Primary school and which creates a dialogue with a new Country Park on the opposite side of Hobsons Brook. The space includes play for older children along with public art in the form of activity walls. The school, designed and built by others sits and carefully relates to this context. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6233602ab7527901a7d6d1ed/d5e19a1c-6891-45a1-be6d-4f81f8dbdd24/IMG_3694.jpeg Abode, Cambridge - Make it stand out Beyond the Great Court is a more formal mews sheet providing a different range of more formally styled houses and which starts to introduce the Long House typology. The North/South orientation of streets builds upon the ‘yard’ precedent found in local villages. Landscape build outs and subtle changes in street geometry help to slow down vehicles travelling through the space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6233602ab7527901a7d6d1ed/8fb50b50-88fd-4d60-a6a2-28bf9f2e0199/IMG_8152.jpeg Abode, Cambridge - Make it stand out One of the Marker buildings which sits within the ‘great court’ space. The great court helps subvert the scale of the Addenbrookes Road access route, a major road used by thousands of vehicles each day. Wintergardens and full height glazed screens help to mitigate some of the noise from the road and provide outdoor amenity space for the enjoyment of residents https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6233602ab7527901a7d6d1ed/2a35eb73-c01d-43c1-8d31-e85ae48ab8be/IMG_0103.JPG Abode, Cambridge - Make it stand out While some of the ‘lanes’ lined with long houses lead directly through to a retained woodland plantation beyond and provide links into the local community, others terminate in small yard like clusters which provide parking and landscape opportunities. https://www.hlme.ltd/themountmillbrookpark daily 0.75 2023-08-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6233602ab7527901a7d6d1ed/9e9e5245-5ccb-4054-9469-6af2dfa68c89/IMG_3407.jpeg The Mount, Millbrook Park - Make it stand out The buildings and landscapes blend together through the continuation of the building material palette into landscape areas. Generous landscaping helps soften the surrounding area and provides opportunities for wildlife habitats. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6233602ab7527901a7d6d1ed/9ae956ba-2b47-4681-ad8f-1a35a5e35bd0/IMG_2846.JPG The Mount, Millbrook Park - Make it stand out In addition to individual balconies, at the heart of each courtyard is a landscaped semi private communal garden that hides parking and service facilities below and provides additional outdoor living space for residents of the apartments blocks include a small play object which young children are able to interact with.
