Insights from Marmalade Lane

This social value report by TOWN on the Marmalade Lane cohousing scheme in Cambridge gives an insight into life at Marmalade Lane, an intergenerational community of 42 homes, completed in 2019.

A post-occupancy evaluation was carried out which explores how the 100 adults and children who live at the award-winning custom-build cohousing scheme make use of the shared spaces, resources and facilities. It reflects on how the design encourages sustainable living and fosters connections with neighbours, examining how the unique closeness of a cohousing community adds to resident's quality of life.
