NEW LONDON AWARDS 2022

Shortlisted in the RETROFIT and CONSERVATION categories

One of the last surviving Victorian warehouse buildings in Southwark, 55 Great Suffolk Street will be brought back into use through sensitive restoration and extension, providing 10,000 sqft of characterful creative workspace. The project will see a new, distinctly contemporary, external core structure built alongside the Grade II-listed warehouse, which will be enhanced to celebrate original features. The project utilises reclaimed steel salvaged from a demolished building in Broadgate – a UK first – and breathes life back into a derelict but much-loved local building that’s currently on the Heritage at Risk register, offering a sensitive mix of the old and new.

Vote for this project in the ‘People’s Choice Award’. The voting deadline is 1 November 2022.
