The Bear Church is a new build project in Deptford, originally known as the Deptford Ragged School. The site consists of 688m2 new church facilities with 33 residential units designed as affordable housing.
The residential units are prefabricated using modular construction resulting in excellent thermal insulation and air tightness.
The entire building is served by a communal ground source heat pump system with closed loop boreholes. Micro heat pumps are installed within each residential unit and in the church minimising central plant space.
