A family of buildings
Our architects Sheppard Robson and Hawkins Brown have been working with the design team and Council to test ideas and develop detailed designs for each building.
As the plan above shows, the design of each building has been carefully considered to ensure that it responds differently to its context whilst also creating a cohesive family of new buildings. Each building has been curated to create a variety of spaces to support small businesses and spinouts through to established companies.
Site walkthroughs
We have created a virtual reality walkthrough to provide you with an immersive way to experience the redevelopment of 210 – 240 Cambridge Science Park. Click on the three videos below to explore the site.
Height & Massing
Our proposal includes a range of different building heights to define the character of the area and create an overall masterplan that sits sensitively in the landscape.
The scale, massing and edges are the outcome of detailed contextual analysis and the contribution the development can make to near views and be an appropriate height in longer views. It has been an iterative design process to inform the design moves as the scheme has evolved through assessment and refinement.
Our final approach sits within the assessed height parameters set out as part of the Council’s emerging North East Cambridge Area Action Plan, with buildings stepping up from Ground + two storeys at the south east and north east of the site to Ground + five storeys in the centre.
Through analysis and discussions with the Council we are proposing Building C as a ‘marker building’, increasing it by one storey to Ground + six storeys. All buildings will be articulated further through materiality and form, with features including terraces and colonnades to contribute to a human scale environment.
