Bradwell's Court, Cambridge

Christ’s Lane is situated in the height of Cambridge City Centre, between  historic college buildings, the main shopping district, bus station and Christ’s Pieces park. The mixed use development for Land Securities replaces an unforgiving 1950s shopping complex on the site and aims to repair the broken street pattern by reinstating the historic Christ’s Lane and creating a new public piazza on the edge of Christ’s Pieces.

The development consists of two lower storeys of retail units, including a restaurant facing the park with private residential dwellings over. The dwellings are arranged around both communal and private terraces.

The proposal seeks to respond to the grain of the neighbouring buildings in the historic conservation area, offering carefully scaled elevations and an articulated roofscape.

Budget: £13 million
Due for completion in: 2007
