Led by London Borough of Southwark, the Bermondsey Spa Regeneration Initiative is now in full swing. Aiming to inject new life into South East London, the initiative is transforming various sites around the Borough, with Bermondsey Spa Gardens at its hub. In February this year work began on the St James’s Road element of the initiative. Named Dragonfly, the project is a mixed use development comprising 40 private one- and two-bedroom apartments, plus seven affordable and two shared ownership units. The developer, Blueprint Homes Ltd., is a London based property developer committed to providing buildings that are innovative, elegant and environmentally sound and the development in St James’s Road is a result of their successful collaboration with the Architects, Idom. The distinctive design for Dragonfly was awarded first place in a competition organised by Southwark Council. The development will be the first UK residential scheme designed by Idom, an international design led practice based near London Bridge.
