Mill Road is a 93,700 ft² freehold site close to Anglian Ruskin University and the University of Cambridge. The development provides 270 student bedrooms in a mix of en suite studio, cluster units, and shared townhouses.
The scheme has been attractively designed to blend into the existing townscape, with the ground floor common room and amenity area providing an active street frontage. New public realm has been created in the form of a pocket park on Mill Road for the benefit of the local community.
The development is arranged around a central garden quad providing outdoor amenity and recreation space for the residents. This is accessed from the street through the common room and management suite, and is enclosed by opposing rows of townhouses and the studio and cluster blocks.
