As a cohousing development, Marmalade Lane is a real community – a place to know and be friends with your neighbours. And as well as energy-efficient, architect-designed modern homes, residents benefit from extensive shared facilities and a large shared garden. Cohousing is a way of life in which residents not only get to know their neighbours and enjoy a real sense of community, but jointly manage their living environment together.  As well as their own private home, each resident household benefits from shared spaces and facilities that enrich the living experience and encourage a more social way of life. As a cohousing development, Marmalade Lane is the product of an innovative design process involving enabling developer TOWN and architects Mole, in which members of K1 Cohousing, drawn from all ages and backgrounds, have been involved from the outset.  All residents are members of Cambridge Cohousing Ltd and contribute to the management of the community.  Residents comes from all ages and walks of life and includes families with young children, retired couples and young professionals.
