In July 2016, Jo Cowen Architects unveiled their latest residential scheme, former Victorian bakery buildings redeveloped into 12 high-end homes.

Located in South London between Falcon Park and Clapham Common, Bakery Place is a series of mews houses, apartments and a penthouse, designed for developers West Eleven.

In response to complex planning guidelines, the original features have been incorporated into the development; for example, early glazed brickwork, corbeled cast iron columns and timber sleeper beams. In this way, the designers have sought to combine contemporary standards with the historic legacy of the buildings.

Retaining something of the buildings’ original character, each of the mews houses is named after their historic purpose – The Stables, The Lodge, The Granary and The Coach House.

The new interventions are made up of a series of delicate steel and glass elements that divide rooms while allowing for light to penetrate deep into the spaces within. This is further accentuated by designing the residences with double-height ceilings, to provide a light and airy atmosphere.

Handmade kitchens with copper trims are another example of how a considered bespoke response has been used for every design detail.

The penthouse is generously proportioned with a private terrace overlooking the Thames and London beyond. This residence was only made possible thanks to the installation of an entirely new roof above the original Bakehouse.
