Commercial Way provides 109 homes for social rent and shared ownership, alongside improvements to the public realm on the North Peckham Estate in Southwark. Our tenure-blind design is the result of a collaborative process with local residents and Southwark Council, delivering a variety of differently-sized homes that respond to local needs.

By rerouting a road that had previously split the site in two, we were able to unlock the full potential of the location. We created a large new public open space that forms a gateway into the estate, and made pedestrian routes between the estate and a nearby park clearer and safer.

Each home is light and airy, and designed to reduce energy demand and residents’ fuel bills. 85% of homes are either dual or triple aspect to maximise daylighting, and are all highly insulated and airtight to minimise heat loss. The development also incorporates rooftop solar panels to reduce its carbon impact.
