Designed by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios (FCBS), Stephen Taylor Court (formerly known as Croft Gardens) is the second of two recent graduate accommodation schemes by King’s College, Cambridge. 

The project has created 84 homes for graduates and fellows in an open courtyard within gardens, fulfilling the college’s need for both individual and family accommodation.

The brief stipulated that the Court should be designed to Passivhaus standards, have a very low carbon footprint and a 100-year design life.

Located away from the main college, in a residential conservation area, the site consists of three gault brick crescents and a red brick villa which together provide the residential accommodation, along with the refurbished and extended Holmcroft building which provides a common room, library and laundry room.
