Alex Monroe has been successfully making jewellery in Southwark for 25 years. In 2009 DSDHA were asked to develop his new jewellery studio in Snowsfields, within the Bermondsey Conservation Area, to provide a showcase for Alex’s growing business, which was previously based in Iliffe Yard, alongside DSDHA’s architectural studio.

The proposal adds a hand-crafted 3 storey element to the existing Edwardian single-storey shopfront, providing sales, workshop, studio, meeting and dining spaces as well as a roof terrace with views towards London Bridge.
