Borough Architects

We are a small and creative architecture practice based in Cambridge, UK.

The works we do are set mostly in urban contexts, and their complex nature fascinates and inspires us.

We strongly believe that each building we design has a commitment towards the development of the city, and every project is an opportunity to benefit the wider environment.

The existing house was originally formed of joining two garages to which our design adds communal spaces, insulation and renewable energy.

Another planning success with this two storey side and rear extension to a 1930's smi detached in Trumpington, Cambridge. Additional internal alterations will make the house fully accessible to part M(4)2 requirements.

The extension wall and roof will be clad in a zinc ribbon over the brick plinth, freeing up the access to the rear garden.
