Marmelade Lane

Marmalade Lane is a pioneering cohousing project located in Orchard Park, Cambridge, UK. This innovative community features 42 homes, including apartments and houses, designed to foster a strong sense of community and sustainability. The development includes extensive shared facilities such as a common house, gardens, and a car-free lane, encouraging social interaction and a collaborative lifestyle. The project was enabled through a partnership between Cambridge City Council, developers TOWN and Trivselhus, and Cambridge Cohousing, with residents actively involved in the design process. Marmalade Lane has received numerous awards for its design and community impact, including the RICS Social Impact Awards and the RTPI Silver Jubilee Cup. The project serves as a model for community-driven development, emphasizing resident involvement and sustainable living practices.
