20 / 11 / 2020 Apex appoint Adston as Design and Build Contractor for Bermondsey development The new homes at Antony and Roderick will be built in partnership with Lambeth and Southwark Housing Association (LSHA). About the development All 30 new homes will be affordable, with 24 offered as London Affordable Rent, and the remaining six offered for Southwark Council’s Social Rent. The development will include ‘bookends’ at each end of the existing buildings, a new central core connecting the buildings, and a double-storey rooftop extension. A bespoke steel structure has been developed to carry the weight of the new homes, enabling the existing buildings to carry the extra loading of the new homes. The airspace and infill at Antony and Roderick will be a mixture of one and two-bedroom apartments, benefiting from a contemporary design with open-plan kitchens and living areas, floor-to-ceiling windows, and outdoor amenity space. The homes will be highly insulated, water, and energy-efficient, to reduce energy bills for all residents. The works will also help to address issues of overcrowding in the existing buildings by providing flexibility for existing over and under occupation. The units occupying the double storey rooftop extension will be built off-site using modular construction methods, the bookends and infill will be built using a panelised fabrication MMC system to ensure high-quality homes while reducing time on site. This approach means less disruption to existing residents who will also benefit from the introduction of a lift to the buildings, a communal entrance, a landscaped forecourt, extra lighting, cycle storage, and additional storage for refuse and recycling.
