Bermondsey Street, Southwark

Hermes Investment

This project involved simple and cost-effective solutions to rationalise, enhance and maximise the potential of this building, exposing the remains of this historic warehouse.

The once off-centred main entrance has now been repositioned to the middle, along with the addition of a 1st floor Juliet balcony to match the existing ones above, creating an impactful front facade and entrance. A much-improved reception was created by stripping back a warren of small rooms, revelling the original historic brickwork, creating a main feature on every floor.

The overall net internal floor area was significantly increased by removing the existing rear internal stairwell and creating a new add-on external enclosed staircase core within the client’s demise line.
