A vibrant and high quality living & learning environment for St John’s and Lucy Cavendish.

Living in a Rich Landscape

The new community is housed in a collegiate cluster of ‘villas’ configured around courtyards, greens and an array of outdoor rooms. The result is a permeable and verdant landscape knitting together eight buildings across the large site. The largest increase on site is trees and biodiversity, with over 30% canopy coverage proposed. The site is unified by a central, sinuous path connecting from a lodge at Madingley Road to a lodge on Clarkson Road: this connects all buildings, entrances and links the three communal spaces, changing in character as it moves through the site.

Communal Living

The villas provide a rich variety of type and size of accommodation, providing apartments, flats and townhouses built on the principle of shared staircases, fostering community within the large campus. The broad range of accommodation is efficient, compact and effective, with step-free access throughout all types of accommodation and minimising long corridors in favour of generous communal lobbies and landings.

Comfort and Passivhaus

Our scheme is designed and tested to a Passivhaus standard: we prioritise internal comfort and sustainability. Orientation of bedrooms has been a key driver for our approach which we have iteratively tested for Passivhaus performance, whilst designing and orientating to avoid overheating.

Living & Learning

MICA’s contemporary villas are inspired by the large Arts & Crafts inspired houses, dominant in the West Cambridge Conservation Area. As with the best of these Edwardian houses, our designs are of high quality, carefully detailed and articulated, connected to landscape, enduring and, above all, joyous places to live.

Villas in Gardens

Cities Streets Buildings Paths Spaces Parts

Informal

courtyard character

Porous, Transparent, Vibrant depth

The buildings are porous and offer a degree of transparency to reveal their depth, particularly at ground floor, to create an inviting prospect, and allowing unexpected pathways through and between buildings. The villas are approachable, intuitive, interesting and elegant, with a glow that invites guests and residents in.

Community

Beyond this, we have suggested a rich mix of student social spaces (both indoor and outdoor) that would create and support a thriving community within the Northwest Cambridge Conservation Area, ranging from generous student kitchens, to the belvedere community space within the back garden of 15 Madingley Road, complemented by social outdoor terraces related to the common rooms, and outdoor play and study areas integrated into the hedged gardens and yards.

These give space for students to unwind from their daily routine, and encourage a wider population to visit. Physical activity can be encouraged through an indoor gym and outdoor equipment that can be used by children and adults alike: play bars functioning as pull-up bars, and mushrooms that are the ideal step-up, warm up location before a jog on the walking path.

Broad interaction: a range of moments

Pathways are designed as social spaces that invite footfall, and are safe, healthy, accessible, inviting, active, and well-lit. We will ensure frequent entrances and active frontages with windows and balconies that overlook the pathways and gardens, encouraging neighbourly engagement and increasing passive surveillance.

The series of moments that offer opportunity for interaction range from the first time the sight site is seen, to the arrival points (arriving by foot, parking your bike), to moving towards the building and coming into the loggia shelter of the Lodges at either end of the site, where again you might pause and interact, to the internal circulation spaces which prioritise the stairs to promote healthy lifestyle and encourage interaction. These spaces are naturally lit and offer moments to pause and interact, take in views of the surrounding landscape and context, and to spontaneously meet fellow students and colleagues, continuing a conversation or catching up.

Planning Considerations

Wolfson Court is an incredible opportunity to improve the student living in the suburban heart of West Cambridge. The possibilities of this site significantly outweigh the risks, and those that we have identified below have readily achievable solutions and mitigations to be worked through with the College clients and Local Authority.

We have reviewed the current local plan, appraised local and relevant nearby development of student accommodation and evaluated the key planning risks that are pertinent to the Wolfson Court redevelopment as follows:

• Demolition: the existing Wolfson Court is not recognised as a positive building in Conservation Area Appraisal (albeit the appraisal is over 12 years old). We believe we could make the case for the demolition through carefully analysing the embodied carbon of a proposed new-build, evaluating the difference in operational carbon between existing and proposed, and demonstrating the improvement to the Whole Life Cycle Carbon Assessment, while reclaiming all viable materials for re-use on site.

• Water: we have shown on the following slides how water can be conserved on site allowing the development to be water-neutral, easing the pressure on the fragile water infrastructure of East Anglia, while increasing the density of the site. Our calculations show the difference between assumed existing water usage, regulation compliant and best practice, while demonstrating the benefits of offsetting water use with harvested rainwater.

• Building heights: we understand staying within the three storey building plus roof or attic rooms with dormers is likely to be the safe and acceptable massing. Anything higher will attract much scrutiny. Could make case for higher buildings in the centre of the site, and against the Maths side (respecting trees)

• Public amenities: show we are giving something back to the community, the city e.g. improve the bike path alongside Maths, public recreation space, and re-providing (and possibly even increasing capacity of) the nursery

• Access: all parts of all buildings should be accessible and include lifts (not just common spaces and accessible rooms)

Nursery

Potential Expansion

We bring expertise in all areas of education design, including a considerable body of high quality nursery design. While schematically shown, the proposed new nursery offers the opportunity to increase the capacity of children, while occupying a largely similar area to the existing nursery. We believe the proposed nursery can be housed in an ideal courtyard setting, offering every room direct access to outdoor play space, and an optimal balance of baby, toddler and pre-school space for up to 120-140 children over two floors in alignment with current Ofsted and EYFS Framework guidelines.
