Later life living scheme draws on local architectural vernacular

Coffey Architects has completed Cobham Bowers, a housing community in Surrey dedicated to later living.

Developed in partnership with retirement living specialist Pegasus, the residential complex consists of 53 apartments arranged around a walled garden. The development, situated in Cobham Village, replaces a 1980s office building that was deemed unsuitable for residential use.

Coffey describe the scheme as drawing inspiration from both traditional English village housing typologies, as well as the adjacent historic Painshill Park’s gardens.
