Situated at the prominent junction of Hills Road and Cherry Hinton Road, the brownfield scheme delivers 92 high-specification apartments—including a three-storey penthouse with panoramic city views—complemented by an resident concierge, private gym, and underground parking. Despite tight logistical constraints on one of Cambridge’s busiest arterial intersections, our building services engineering ensured the complex project was delivered on time and within budget.
To maximize operational performance and minimize carbon emissions across the high-density footprint, Bedwell MEP engineered a centralized energy center driven by high-efficiency gas-fired condensing boilers. The Low Pressure Hot Water (LPHW) district heating network serves localized Heat Interface Units (HIUs) in each apartment, enabling smart individual energy metering while allowing strategic system diversity factors that drastically reduced required boiler plant and pipework capacities. Our complete design scope encompassed mixed-mode ventilation, incoming utility infrastructure, comprehensive security, CCTV, door entry systems, and landscape lighting—establishing a robust, energy-efficient building services foundation for luxury urban living in Cambridge.
