Bermondsey Street

This refurbishment and extension of a post-war building balances functional requirements with an expressive design. Strict daylight criteria shaped a dramatic angular roof and wall structure, mirrored in the side elevation that projects over the pavement as if “plugged in” to the original façade. Prefabricated Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) forms the primary structure.

Prefabrication with CLT ensured rapid execution and minimised impact on the surrounding area. The project’s innovative approach earned recognition with the RICS London Awards 2017 (Highly Commended) and the British Homes Sunday Times Award.
