DSDHA's studio for the renowned jeweller Alex Monroe aims to bring back both craft and making into the City, providing a showcase for his own work and the craftsmanship of the metal workers who hand-made the facade on site.
Located within the Bermondsey Street Conservation Area, in the shadow of the Shard, the design presents a carefully detailed 'casket' as a three storey addition on top of a restored shopfront.
Constructed in prefabricated cross-laminated timber and clad in a pigmented zinc rain-screen, the building provides a range of functional, well-lit spaces comprising a basement studio for heavy machinery, a boutique store, administrative floor, jewelry making workshop and a top floor dining-meeting room with direct access to a spectacular roof terrace with views across the city.
