Marmalade Lane Co Housing
This cohousing scheme was a project that offered highly flexible modular dwelling types which have been successfully implemented on part of Orchard Park to the north of the city centre. The scheme is in stark contrast to the neighbouring properties. The focus on community and the diversity of the built form of the exteriors has created a quality piece of urban architecture. The scheme was applauded for the whole approach to cohousing, inclusion and well-being as well as delivering a strong sustainability agenda. The determination of the whole team including the end-users, the designers, constructors, and the developer to see the project through was praised by the judges.

The judge praised Marmalade Lane as an exemplar of thoughtful design with sustainable communities at the heart of the project. The project is a shining example of delivering high design quality alongside high thermal performance of the fabric using modular constructive methods.
