One critical advantage of New Urbanism is that it blends residential, commercial, and retail spaces within the same multi-family development. This approach fosters a strong sense of community, making it easier for residents to connect and engage with their local environment. Morris Square in Charleston is a prime example of how small-scale developers can successfully implement New Urbanism. Allison Ramsey Architects played a crucial role in this vibrant, mixed-use community, designing everything from single-family homes to large mixed-use buildings alongside townhouses, a duplex, and a quadruplex. For small-scale developers, the growing focus on multi-family housing within New Urbanism represents more than a passing trend. It marks a significant transformation in the way cities are planned and lived in.

Thank you to Greater Cambridge Shared Planning Service Design Review Panel Members Maggie Baddeley (Chair), Chris Jones, David Knight, Helen Goodwin PhD, Paul Bourgeois and vanessa ross for contributing your expertise in architecture, landscape design, community development, urban design, transport and sustainability at site visits and the panel meeting to review two schemes on Thursday 14th December 2023. The two schemes reviewed included a residential proposal in Cambridge and an extension and conversion of the existing R&D building proposal at a science park in the Greater Cambridge region, supporting employment opportunities and economic growth. The panel draws from 40 knowledgeable and experienced panelists who provide independent advice and challenge across four areas: Character, Community, Connectivity, Climate Proofing which make up the cornerstones of the #CambridgshireQualityCharterforGrowth. They act as a critical friend, to provide impartial expert advice to applicants on design issues in new development schemes and proposals. The desired outcome being high quality design that sits well and is pleasing to our communities when built out. Looking forward to seeing the next design stage of these 2 schemes.

Following last week’s #heritagetreasures post, we are sharing a micro case study on one of our smaller, but just as important heritage projects; Foley House in Great Malvern. The project was managed by Associate Director of Architecture, Sandy Fishpool. Objective: To return the Grade II listed Foley House to residential use through a sensitive conversion to apartments, working to a tight budget whilst ensuring a restoration that would meet planning requirements. It was discovered that the building was in a dilapidated state which required prompt action and the project was expanded to include major repair works. Approach: We took an interdisciplinary approach, involving planning, listed building consents, design and onsite project management. The local community asked for the retention of the historical plaque on the building façade and we worked hard to ensure this and other important heritage features were retained. Outcome: Success. Planning permission and listed building consent were achieved and the building’s new life as residential apartments began in 2023 when the new occupants of this heritage building moved in. #Heritage #CaseStudy #ResidentialDevelopment #ListedBuilding #PlanningPermission #RuralDevelopment #WeAreRural #ADifferentView

New Opportunities In Multifamily Housing Did you know that the density of California cities is increasing? What will this increased density look like? We think there could be different approaches to these developments. If there is an existing single family home on a lot, there could be a duplex added to the backyard, or if the lot is empty, we could develop something as large as a fourplex. But what would we really like the future to look like? How would we want to shape our lives?
