Accordia living is streets ahead

Community life in Britain has weakened substantially over the past 30 years, according to a new report commissioned by the BBC. Solving this issue is high on the agenda of the government and as a result, developing new build schemes which provide sustainable neighbourhoods and communities are becoming a growing importance.

A developer who places a strong focus on driving this forward is Redeham Homes, one of the UK’s premier private developers in the Southeast.

The research by the BBC reveals that 97% of neighbourhoods and communities in every part of the UK have become more socially fragmented over the past three decades. However Redeham Homes’ approach to developing new residential schemes is led by the idea of people buying into a home and a community rather than just a house, and this is extremely evident at its multi-award winning Accordia Living development in Cambridge.

Accordia Living was designed by a team of renowned architects including Feilden Clegg Bradley, Alison Brooks Architects and Macreanor Lavington Architects. The end result is an architecturally dynamic, innovative and unique scheme, offering one of the most desirable and striking new build residential developments in the UK.

The architects have paid particular attention to the relationship behind people and buildings and have nurtured the way people and places interact through design and architecture, creating a close and cohesive community.

Through consideration of the site’s existing natural landscape combined with the 700 established trees onsite, they have taken an innovative approach to external spaces and designed a layout themed around ‘living in a garden’ which has shaped its vibrant atmosphere. This comprises a strong landscape framework, complete with courtyards, communal gardens and play areas scattered throughout the low-key streets and squares.

There is also particular focus towards a pedestrian and cycle friendly neighbourhood at the scheme, which has reduced the prominence of the car, creating a safe and friendly environment.

Pam Reardon, Sales and Marketing Director for Redeham Homes comments: “Creating a home is no longer solely about satisfying the requirements of practicality and aesthetics; it is about creating a world that the people want to be part of. At Accordia Living we offer stylish innovative living while at the same time a truly sustainable residential neighbourhood that provides a healthy, happy and balanced lifestyle for all its residents.”

Accordia Living is individual by design and promotes this seamlessly throughout the development both inside and out. The scheme is a stunning and extremely successful example of cutting edge architectural innovation and the development’s unique approach to external spaces through its strong landscaping framework provides residents with a vibrant welcoming sanctuary and sustainable living environment.

The development has been extremely successful to date and has appealed to a wide range of buyers from young professionals drawn to its close proximity to the train station, to families seeking a quality contemporary home in a safe environment, close to excellent schools and the city centre.

Prices for homes at Accordia Living start from £245,950 for a one-bedroom apartment, £414,950 for a two-bedroom apartment and from £589,950 for a three-bedroom townhouse. For further information, log on to Redehamhomes.co.uk.
