Jo Cowen Architects is appointed to deliver 400 new BTR homes in Eddington, NW Cambridge. The vision for Eddington is to create a place that is sustainable, long-lasting and ambitious, offering a high quality of life to enhance both the City and University of Cambridge.

Unique measures are integrated in every aspect of Eddington to encourage residents and visitors to lead more sustainable lives. This means using resources in a safe and efficient way, minimising carbon emissions and pollution to help the environment now and in the future. The buildings have all been designed BREEAM Excellent.

“We design neighbourhoods as frameworks for diversity. We amplify the unique elements of briefs and sites to create places that have distinct and longlasting character.” Jo Cowen

Jo Cowen Architects have sought create communities of unique high-quality, high-design homes that appeal to a growing rental demographic of both families with children and the over 65’s. At the core of our vision is a rich community lifestyle where residents invest in their neighbours and their neighbourhood.

Our proposal offers a variety of residential types for the broad demographic that Cambridge presents us with. 1 bed, 2 bed and 3 bed apartments sit alongside 3 and 4 bedroom family homes in a close knit environment that encourages social sustainability and wellness.

Our design creates connections between homes and families by offering high-end shared amenities, luxury health facilities, open green spaces, and a thoughtful layout that works to bring people together. Our modular homes aren’t just beautiful. They are robust, eco-friendly and built to last using off-site modern methods of construction.

“The green spaces between our homes are as important as the houses themselves. Liveable streets and community gardens define and underpin the way we design.” Jo Cowen
