Dovehouse Court, Almshouses - A Talk

Dovehouse Court is a new Passivhaus certified almshouse development for the over 55s, for Girton Town Charity in the village of Girton, on the outskirts of Cambridge.

Completed in 2023, Dovehouse Court in Girton, Cambridgeshire, offers a modern reinterpretation of the traditional almshouses. Developed by Girton Town Charity, the scheme delivers 15 new one-bedroom homes for over 55’s with a strong local connection, who can live independently. Winner of a RIBA East award and The Almshouse Assocation’s Innovation for Living award, the project supports independent living and prioritises sustainability in affordable housing.

Ian Bramwell is a director at Mole Architects and will talk to us about the design and construction of this project.

The talk will start at 5pm, with Q&A afterwards and refreshments will follow from 6pm.
