Knowledge Networks: London and the Ox-Cam Arc

As part of the new North West Cambridge quarter, Stanton Williams’ housing development provides much-needed affordable housing and facilities for the University of Cambridge key workers and post-doctorate community, supporting the University’s position as a global leader in research. It creates a neighbourhood of 264 key worker homes together with university workspace, shops and amenities in a convivial setting. A network of landscaped courtyards and communal external spaces, designed to foster social interaction, underpins the concept of the project. Even the timber-clad bicycle pavilions, designed with their own integral gardens and benches, are places of social possibility.
