A fully affordable and sustainable intergenerational housing development mixing older people and students. It provides 30 independent living homes for people aged 55+ and two four-bed student homes.
Melfield Gardens is a highly sustainable, affordable housing scheme on a constrained site in Lewisham. It is designed to Passivhaus as the first step towards zero carbon. Designed for Phoenix Community Housing, most of the new homes are for people aged over 55 years, with some accommodation allocated for postgraduate students from Goldsmiths to bring the benefits of intergenerational housing. In return for spending a few hours each week with older residents, the students will be charged a lower rent.
