Rubicon, Cambridge

Alison Brooks Architects

According to the architect’s web-site:

‘Located at the gateway to Cambridge University’s exceptionally ambitious North West Cambridge Development, Alison Brooks Architects’ Rubicon residential quarter builds on the paradigm of the 19th century warehouse and offers a new concept of sustainable urban living.

Lofts, warehouses and mills are today seen as ideal structures for contemporary lifestyles. Spacious, adaptable, sturdy and pragmatic, warehouses now accommodate everything from artists’ studios, to tech companies, to restaurants, to hotels and apartments. They imply communities with shared interests and a sense of place that grows out of building for the long term.’
