THE VISION
Invigorating the neighbourhood and improving local connections
Bermondsey Yards is a carefully coordinated campus of buildings that aims to invigorate the neighbourhood, improve local connections, and restore a historic 19th Century Warehouse. Designed in collaboration with Studio RHE and John Robertson Architects.
This project is a beacon of sustainable architecture and placemaking that will drive economic growth and job creation, whilst supplementing the area’s local character and culture for residents and visitors alike.
This project will drive local economic growth with new job creation and provision of affordable workspace.

THE APPROACH
Delivering sustainable regeneration to the highest standard
We are working alongside neighbouring landowners on a ‘bigger picture’ approach, which will deliver integrated and sustainable regeneration to the very highest standard. Our vision for Bermondsey Yards is an elegant and measured transition from the intimate, historical character of Bermondsey Street to the contemporary character and scale of London Bridge and The Shard Quarter.
THE DESIGN
Designed to exceed the London Plan’s Carbon Reduction Targets
The local area’s distinct historic personality will be celebrated in our build, with warehouse elements like hatch rank doors, historic brickwork facades, cast-iron columns and the use of recycled materials to emulate original features found locally. We will also relay timber floors and restore the original hatch rank openings.
The scheme aims to exceed the London Plan’s Carbon Reduction Targets and achieve BREEAM Outstanding rating. As part of our mission to reduce our carbon footprint we use zero fossil fuels in the development and install highly efficient Air Source Heat Pumps to improve energy performance across the site.
In addition to the well-being of the planet, the scheme has user well-being at its heart: Bermondsey is set to target ‘Platinum’ WELL certification (an international standard which measures impact on the environments well as on human health and wellbeing), through features like extensive roof garden terraces on most upper floors, smart tech throughout and highly walkable floorplates and stair cores.
