ABA created 142 net zero-carbon homes that reinterpret Cambridge’s domestic traditions through innovative, low-rise typologies. These include ‘through’ houses spanning street to mews, palazzo-style apartments and garden-access blocks. A shared design language unites varied forms with shifting rooflines, deep entrances and internal layouts, enriched by high ceilings and abundant daylight. All homes exceed national standards by 30%, offering courtyard gardens, terraces or balconies. Designed for well-being, every home is sustainable with district heating and integrated water recycling.
