Southwark Brick House is a contemporary three-bedroom home in Bermondsey, built on a constrained former garage site within a conservation area. The design carefully balances a sensitive historic setting with the creation of a spacious modern home. Arranged as two brick wings with a basement, the building is set into the ground to reduce its visual impact and respect neighbouring properties. The architecture reinterprets local vernacular through brickwork, gables and oak-framed windows, creating a contextual yet distinctive form. Winner of a RIBA London Award 2023, the project demonstrates how constrained sites can deliver high-quality, crafted homes.
