Description
A competition submission to design a masterplan in accordance with the design code. The development included 160 dwellings.
The Waterbeach Barracks and Airfield site forms part of a larger area allocated as a ‘New Town’. Waterbeach itself will provide around 6,500 new homes with supporting infrastructure in a managed phased release, governed by the regulatory plan and design code. Of the 6,500 new homes, 1,600 of those will be provided for by KP1 with approximately 160 of those provided by parcels 3.1 and 3.2.
The site plan has been designed to create a strong sense of place and as a response to the site’s context. The design and layout embraces open green communal spaces following the ‘Green Street Concept’. Following a landscape-led approach to the design of both parcels and creating a link to the public open spaces and schools to the west.
Landscape spaces provide opportunities for a variety of uses, including: natural play, walking, running and sitting. The placement of communal gardens and gateway squares, echo the wider rural character, creating a sense of place and framing key buildings and streets.
Direct access through the parcel will be provided by tertiary roads that skirt around the inner green-streets. At the centre of the parcels, green streets will provide vehicular access to the inner parcel plots, allowing for emergency access and services.
With connectivity and green transport at the forefront of the design ambitions for Waterbeach, we looked to create as much permeability as possible through both of the parcels, with access to primary and secondary cycle/pedestrian routes dotted around the parcel perimeters.

Description
New international boarding school
BoonBrown were invited to submit a proposal for a new international boarding school for 80 students in response to the schools’ increasing popularity and expansion programme. While maintaining its traditional values and commitment to boarding in significant historic environment, the school has identified the need for a boarding house that stands out from the others and is forward looking.
The house will cater for diverse community of international and domestic students – all full time boarders, accommodated in rooms with full en-suite facilities. The school wanted the design to be fully flexible and adaptable to accommodate their future needs.
BoonBrown proposed a concept that offers adaptability in occupancy combinations from single to quad rooms by providing a system of fully transformable sleeping pods. All the social and learning spaces were taken out of the dormitory rooms and arranged as flexible spaces facilitating social mixing and extra -curriculum activities thus creating a variety of environments from larger ones for bigger assemblies to small and intimate break-out or studying spaces.
