Located at 70 Water St, Cambridge, the redevelopment of the former Two Tees Boatyard has transformed a once-dilapidated site into a modern and sustainable housing scheme of three dwellings. Inspired by the architectural heritage of riverside boathouses along the River Cam, the design adopts a series of simple, gabled forms and narrow, elongated footprints, mirroring the character of the original narrowboat repair sheds. This thoughtful approach ensures that the new two-story structures blend seamlessly with the existing scale and appearance of the surrounding Water Street residences. The completed project has achieved an outstanding A-rated energy certification through the integration of several sustainable technologies, including photovoltaic (PV) panels with battery storage, an air-source heat pump, and a mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) system. These elements collectively minimise carbon emissions and significantly reduce energy costs, establishing a low-carbon, energy-efficient development. Situated near a flood plain, the design incorporates resilient floor strategies to safeguard the homes. Features include an underfloor void and raised ground floor levels, along with a solid masonry ground floor finished with durable materials, ensuring a robust structure that can withstand potential flooding. The layout prioritises natural views and outdoor living. Each dwelling's main living spaces open toward the river, leading to a raised deck area that offers a tranquil outdoor area. Patio doors, recessed within the gable ends, provide natural solar shading while creating a private, covered amenity space. At the rear, a communal garden along the river frontage preserves the site's open character, retaining mature trees to enhance privacy and retain views for neighbouring properties. By positioning the development on the site’s Water Street side, in the lowest flood-risk zone, and preserving the boathouses along the river, the scheme honours the historic aesthetic of Stourbridge Common. This project exemplifies a balance of environmental stewardship, flood resilience, and architectural integrity, resulting in a sustainable, low-carbon residential scheme that respects its riverside context.
