This modest new-build house, located in a central Cambridge conservation area, displays remarkable ingenuity in the way it utilises its compact site to create an intimate and intriguing home. The house provides accommodation for a couple, together with an apartment for their adult daughter. It has the character almost of a three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle and a capacity to surprise as spaces unfold and are revealed, often using carefully designed joinery to define thresholds and entrances.
This character and ingenuity are the result of what was clearly a creative collaboration between the architects and their client, for whom this is their home. It demonstrates the value that architects can bring to unlocking the potential of constrained sites and responding to the aspirations and specific requirements of their clients.
