esign is at the heart of Ninewells. It shines through the architecture, inspired by the location on the southern fringe of Cambridge as it blends into rolling countryside. Design shapes the Ninewells landscape; green spaces, allotments, attenuation ponds and outdoor artwork

nurture a deep-rooted bond between people and nature. Design helps to build the Ninewells community; it’s a safe and sustainable place where families flourish and people interact in harmony. And design makes the Ninewells way of life; it’s a place that promotes health and well- being and offers easy access to the vibrant city centre, making these the perfect new homes. The Ninewells team has worked closely with award-winning architects PRP to develop a future-focused plan for both people and place. In its overall vision, Ninewells is designed to embrace and protect the positive features of the landscape and local identity. At the heart of this vision is the ‘green fingers’ concept: a series of green spaces that make a connection with the countryside and act as viewing corridors to the Gog Magog Downs. As well as providing an inspiring backdrop to everyday life, the resulting green areas encourage a healthy outdoor lifestyle in a safe, open space. Landscaping is rich and diverse and enhances the recreational aspect of living here. Areas of grass and wildflowers blend seamlessly with the countryside, while other areas have a visual relationship with the urban environment. The architecture is also inspired by its location. Externally, styles and materials make reference to local buildings, and internally the optimisation of space, views and natural light have been the guiding principles. As a modern, forward-looking community, Ninewells puts sustainability high on the agenda. All homes are designed with energy efficiency in mind by incorporating energy-saving features such as well insulated cavity walls, large windows to maximise solar gain and highly efficient boilers. What’s more, the provision of footpaths and cycle paths encourages you to leave your car at home, presenting you with a simple way to improve your carbon footprint.
