Project 3 - North-West Cambridge Eddington Masterplan Redevelopment

This task conducted throughout my second year of my architecture degree studies involved re-creating a masterplan development for the north-west Cambridge Eddington scheme which opened to the public on the 9th September 2017.

The following are my proposed concepts and re-designed development. The road layouts and open areas have all been devised upon inspiration from the unique qualities of the landscaping around Cambridge. This particularly relates to the significant presence of courtyards and vast greenspaces largely located within the Cambridge University Campuses scattered across the city.

The building typologies and contents of the site such as the residences, communal areas, greenspaces, superstore and school have all been retained however the formation and layouts of the structures, pathways, public areas and roads have all been revised.

Proposed primary school: located North of the site to create sufficient separation space between the school site and the remaining residential sector.

Library: with learning resources, study spaces, communal spaces, private residences allocated for professors, teachers and staff members.

Tier 1: Residential Sector: Basic student accommodation available at the lowest price compared to that of other residences onsite.

Tier 2 Residential Sector: Average yet wellfurnished student accommodation with a variety apartment selection. Sector to contain communal spaces and recreational spaces. Here a dead-end road and car park is proposed to be especially allocated to the school site. Additionally, multiple connecting pathways allow for easy access on foot.

High Class Private Residential

sector: to contain apartments finished to the highest standard and furnished to the finest quality and bespoke styles. Only indented for private occupants.

Tier 3 Residential Sector: High class accommodation for students only. Sector to contain communal spaces, cafes & lounges for user convenience and leisure.

Local superstore: proposed for residents and members of the general public.

Public residential sector: not available for students intended only for private letting. To be purposely isolated and situated away from remaining site sectors which shall be primarily utilized by students. Also to contain communal spaces, lounges, café’s, sports and recreational facilities.
