A residential led mixed-use redevelopment in Elephant and Castle where we are delivering 283 student beds plus 23 on-site high quality, affordable new homes, a dedicated new community space and significant new greening and public realm.

Through high quality design, listening to local people to understand the area’s under-served needs, and placing a focus on embedding culture, nature and the highest energy efficiency standards, the project will provide meaningful positive impact for the area’s existing and emerging communities.

A new public route, landscaped courtyard garden, and dedicated community space and kitchen will offer environmental and social wellbeing benefits, bringing together local residents, students and the wider public.

Embracing a whole life carbon and circular economy approach to design, the retention and reuse of the existing wing facing onto Walworth Road was a key early decision to reduce the upfront embodied carbon. To deliver an efficient scheme in operation, the development adopts a fabric first approach and will be all electric, optimising the use of air source heat pumps and PV.

Alongside climate mitigation, climate resilience and nature-based solutions have been a focus, including extensive green and blue roofs as part of the SuDS strategy and new healthy, green public and residential courtyard gardens contributing towards a significant Biodiversity Net Gain, and certification to at least BREEAM Excellent.
