Esmeralda Houses, South Bermondsey
Three new triple-aspect homes with gardens are deftly arranged to enhance and optimise a well located & orientated corner site near the Thorburn Square Conservation Area in South Bermondsey; replacing a sub-standard house & mews garage.
The scheme sensitively completes the terrace and street-scape, The new building is designed in keeping with the materials and volume of the existing building/terrace. It meets or exceeds Southwark’s Design Guidelines (more onerous than London Design Guidelines) including overall areas and individual room sizes, as well as for gardens and amenities such as cycles & storage.
