 Mamalik Lane is Cambridge's first co-housing scheme consisting of 42 houses and apartments. It is situated on a one hectare site within the Orchard Park development on the northern edge of Cambridge. A co-housing community is centred around a communal space, some form of common ownership and investment in time towards the community. It demonstrates that a sense of character and identity can be successfully achieved through the promotion of smaller sites within larger developments for alternative models of housing. A beautiful development crafted to its fullest with the involvement of the community who have been involved right at the start of the process and have worked with the design team and the council to deliver what is an outstanding piece of development. Collaboration between the City Council as the land owner, South Cambridge District Council as the planning authority and the sponsor of the project, between the members, between us as the developer and obviously with the professional team led by the architect. We wanted to deliver a project that delivered the internal environment and the sense of community that the Co-Housing Group wanted, but also delivered a really fantastic piece of design for Orchard Park. Often with co-housing projects the trouble is that the desire to get a really good internal environment slightly compromises the external environment and what's great here is that the streets are fantastic and the development really engages with the community around it. It involved in 2013 and at that time the council had designated this parcel of land called K1 for Co-Housing and the rest is history and now we're standing in a fabulous beautiful site, shared areas, fantastic flat and we're all absolutely delighted to be here. The actual quality of the build, the environmental quality of the windows, the triple glazing, the level of insulation, the mechanical ventilation, heat recovery that we have, the air source heat pumps, everything is there to mitigate using.
