St Saviours Estate in Bermondsey is part of an area of loose, borderless housing estates from the 1900s. This project suggests a blueprint for increasing the supply of inner-city housing and combating social isolation by making these ‘in-between’ parts of the city more vibrant, contrasting and intense – less suburban and more urban. A new mixed-use building combines civic, communal and private spaces around a public street, which forms part of a route between Tower Bridge and the rapidly developing Old Kent Road.
