Our proposals for 15 Risborough Street retain the existing 1990’s brick office building, remove the roof and draw on the vibrancy of the Bankside context to extent vertically, providing new living and workspace.

The existing building is the remaining section of a wider 20 century building occupying 15-21 Risborough Street. The proposals respond to the increasing density and height of the surrounding context to add new homes and workspace.

The proposals draw on the variety of materiality and colour which defines this area of Southwark.

Face finished materials, variation and stepping in the streetscape make this part of London an exciting and vibrant area to work and live. The proposals for 15 Risborough Street respond with oxide red steelwork rising up from behind the existing, retained brickwork.

As the proposals step back as they rise, creating terraces and a step in the street scene that mediates the difference in heights along Risborough Street.

The proposals will deliver ground and first floor workspaces, and three unique, new homes.
