24/Three and Urban&Civic collaborate on a key Build-to-Rent development, creating 90 bespoke, high-quality homes as part of the Waterbeach masterplan.

24/Three is excited to announce the approval of a planning proposal for 90 high-quality homes, designed in collaboration with Urban&Civic, as part of their transformative masterplan for the former Barracks and Airfield at Waterbeach. This new permission spans three distinct parcels of land, surrounded by public open spaces and a primary school, with a green community link connecting two of the parcels. The development will be marketed as a Build-to-Rent scheme, providing a modern and sustainable living experience.

The design responds to the site’s high-quality design code, ensuring the scheme aligns with Cambridgeshire’s architectural standards while maintaining project viability. Throughout the design process, 24/Three worked closely with Urban&Civic to adhere to these standards, producing a scheme that exemplifies both architectural excellence and sustainable living solutions.

The material palette and detailing have been carefully curated to create a strong sense of identity and character for the homes. These bespoke residences are designed to offer welcoming environments for future residents through the integration and celebration of their green surroundings. The development also emphasises sustainability through efficiency, reflecting 24/Three’s forward-thinking approach to housing design and commitment to shaping the future of residential architecture.

This proposal highlights 24/Three’s dedication to delivering exceptional, sustainable housing solutions within the context of large-scale developments. With their design-to-build ethos, the plan is to push forward with the technical design to enable construction to start on site before the end of the year. The project sets a benchmark for high-quality living spaces that are in harmony with their surroundings, contributing to the long-term vision for Waterbeach.
