Description
Koops Mills sits within the curtilage of the Grade II listed nineteenth-century Neckinger Mills site in Bermondsey, a former tannery complex south of the river. Mark Fairhurst Architects designed the new mixed-use building to bring a ground floor commercial unit, seven residential flats and a standalone studio house onto a constrained inner-city site.
Two below-ground conditions shaped the structural strategy. The Jubilee line tunnel runs 26 metres directly beneath the plot, and the mainline railway viaduct skirts the boundary, with redevelopment of the adjacent Drill Hall site running in parallel. The result reads as a contemporary insertion alongside its listed neighbour. Completed in 2016, the project covers 951 m² across four storeys on a 667 m² site.
