Team also includes Okra

A team made up of dRMM and south London-based practice Okra has been chosen by Southwark council to lead the redevelopment of the Former Folgate Estates.

The net zero carbon scheme will include around 200 new tenure blind homes, with around 1,900sq m given over to retail, light industrial and commercial facilities. 

The Victorian shop units fronting the Old Kent Road will be updated and will complement the adjacent refurbishment project by Mica Architects.
