The challenge: Back in 2019, Cambridge’s first cohousing community at Marmalade Lane demonstrated the benefits of dynamic design with homeowners acting as part of developer design teams. The scheme’s overall energy efficiency was monitored as a low-carbon case study project and has effectively informed the government’s Building for 2050 low-carbon housing programme report.
