K1 – Be part of the unique co-housing opportunity in Cambridge

If you have ever thought about designing and building your own home…but been put off by the hassle and difficulties…then the K1 development may be the opportunity you have been waiting for.

K1 is a new self commissioning opportunity at Orchard Park, Cambridge. Around 40 householders will come together to shape their own homes and community with the support of dedicated professionals to guide them through the next 18 months design and build process.

K1 provides the chance for residents to create their own high standards in sustainable living and create unique indoor and outdoor community spaces.

PRECISELY WHAT K1 WILL LOOK LIKE, HOW SUSTAINABLE K1 WILL BE AND HOW IT WILL WORK, WILL BE DETERMINED BY RESIDENTS.

Located 3 miles from the beautiful city centre of Cambridge, K1 is served by the frequent buses on the new guided busway.

Commencing in Autumn 2011, a foundation group are working with a support team of dedicated professionals to guide K1’s development through the next 18 month’s design and build process.
