A Victorian Tower, Reimagined for Contemporary Living

A Victorian Landmark
St Giles Tower was completed in 1890 as a new ward within the wider Camberwell Workhouse Infirmary.
Designed in accordance with late nineteenth-century Victorian principles, each floor of the tower originally accommodated twenty-four beds arranged around a central services core, ensuring that light and fresh air reached every patient. Large windows and generous proportions expressed the civic pride of the period, reflecting the importance placed on well-ordered and handsome public buildings.
The tower remained in medical use for almost a century and survived direct damage from a V-1 flying bomb during the Second World War. When the hospital closed in the early 1980s, much of the surrounding site was demolished and redeveloped. The tower itself was spared in recognition of its architectural quality and was subsequently listed before being converted to residential use.
The conversion has preserved the defining elements of the original structure. The circular form, original window openings and generous ceiling heights continue to shape the internal layouts, resulting in a collection of eighteen apartments that feel distinct from conventional residential buildings.
Rather than imposing uniformity, the apartments allows the idiosyncrasies of the original building to remain visible, with curved walls, shifting perspectives and outward facing rooms defining the experience throughout.
