Barratt London has teamed up with Dapa Atelier to unveil a striking one-bedroom show home at Bermondsey Heights, tailored for the creative pulse of SE1’s young professionals. Nestled in Zone 2’s south-east London, the development now offers a glimpse into life at this eagerly awaited project, with its first homes set for completion by Spring 2025.
Dapa Atelier, known for its chic designs across central London, crafted the apartment with millennial first-time buyers in mind—think media, music, or fashion enthusiasts ready to plant roots.
Robert Burton, co-founder of Dapa Atelier, explained their vision:
“Throughout the process we were designing with a younger, style-conscious buyer in mind, perhaps someone who works in media, music or fashion and could one day call Bermondsey Heights home. From a magenta legged dining table to the orange lacquered sideboard, the space is filled with one-of-a-kind pieces. We wanted to keep the concept memorable, fun and colourful.”
Local flair shines through, with Tracey Emin books in the bedroom and an abstract piece from Bermondsey’s White Cube gallery adding a nod to the area’s artistic heritage.
Yolanda Jacob, sales and marketing director at Barratt East London sees the design tapping into a clear demand.
“There is high demand from first time buyers for homes in Bermondsey,” she said. “We saw this in action when we launched homes through the First Homes Scheme and saw five times our usual level of enquiries in the first week. It was this underserved market who are ready to take their first steps onto the property ladder at an affordable price point that we wanted to tap into.” She added, “Working with and being inspired by the area’s community and creativity has been important since we began onsite. I encourage anyone interested to get in touch, and step inside this beautiful apartment, which will give you a taste of what life could be like owning a home in the heart of Bermondsey.”
The 26-storey Bermondsey Heights tower will house 163 private one, two, and three-bedroom flats, plus 32 discounted units via the First Homes scheme, atop commercial spaces.
Residents will enjoy a lounge, concierge, Pantree service, landscaped gardens, a roof terrace, and a children’s play area, all framed by sweeping London views
With scaffolding now down, the building’s exterior stands revealed ahead of its 2025 finish. Prices kick off at £472,000 for a one-bedroom home.
Southwark’s gem is steps from Tower Bridge, The Shard, Borough Market, and Bermondsey Street’s cultural hotspots like the White Cube Gallery and the trendy Crol & Co café, reborn from an old betting shop.
Connectivity is a breeze—South Bermondsey station, a 10-minute stroll away, links to London Bridge in one stop, opening up National Rail and Tube lines to King’s Cross, Brighton, and beyond. For a closer look, Barratt London invites enquiries at www.barrattlondon.com.
