Dwelling: Accordia

Description

This book is temporarily out of stock.

Dwelling describes the design and architecture of the new residential quarter in Cambridge, a multi-award winning green project. Accordia provides a new model for communal living. With 22 different house and apartment types on a tight semi-urban site, it is a high-density scheme which replaces the standard pocket garden approach with a series of exhilarating public greens, communal gardens and intimate outside/inside spaces created by rooftop terraces and internal courtyards.

The project is the result of a collaboration between three of the UKs highly regarded architecture firms; Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, Maccreanor Lavington and Alison Brooks Architects. Widely regarded as setting a new benchmark for housing, this multi-award winning project is the first housing scheme ever to win the RIBA Stirling Prize, one of the worlds most prestigious architectural accolades.
