Camberwell Lodge Care & Nursing Home in Southwark has been awarded a BREEAM rating of ‘Excellent’ with an overall score of 73 per cent.
Country Court Care’s Camberwell Lodge Care and Nursing Home is located in Southwark, London. Offering a mix of residential, nursing, and dementia care, the 98-bed new build opened in May 2022. The project was developed in partnership with WGP Architects and Horizon Building Contractors and features a bold contemporary design.
The BREEAM rating is an internationally recognised measure of a building’s sustainability. It enables comparability between projects and provides assurance in areas including management, health and wellbeing, energy, transport, water, materials, waste, and pollution.
Camberwell Lodge uses low-carbon technologies such as solar panels, a combined heat and power boiler, and an air source heat pump. The building also features biodiversity roofing and cyclist facilities.
David Hicks, estates director at Country Court, said: “We are delighted to receive an Excellent BREEAM rating for Camberwell Lodge Care & Nursing Home. The rating is in line with Southwark council’s requirements for the development of the care home, and means it is considered as the best in practice for sustainable building design.”
