Thomas Sinden have been appointed by Peabody to deliver a new £18m residential scheme on the former St Olave’s House Nursing Home site in Rotherhithe, London SE16.
Designed by Stockwool Architects, the project will deliver 62 new homes including affordable housing. The homes will provide much needed high-quality housing, in what is currently an unused site in a prime Southwark location.
The development will consist of two blocks with varying heights Building A – Part 4/Part 5, Building B – Part 3/ Part 4 storey building fronting on to Ann Moss Way, with associated landscaping works. The two blocks will contain 21 x one-bedroom, 25 x two-bedroom and 16 x three-bedroom units.
The scheme is due to commence on site this Summer and will be delivered using full BIM Level 2 processes.
Paul Cooke, Business Development Director of Thomas Sinden said, “This is our second project with Peabody and builds on the good working relationships we have developed with them at Fish Island Village where we have carried out a commercial fitout project. We are looking forward to working with Peabody to deliver much needed affordable housing through this significant project.”
Richard Murrell, Peabody’s Head of Delivery said: “We are looking forward to working with Thomas Sinden at St Olave’s to deliver high-quality new affordable homes in the centre of Southwark. The development will be close to Southwark Park, which has the most green space in the borough. It will also have a new play area for the local community to enjoy.”
