A Family of Buildings Bringing New Life to Bromley
SWP and Curl la Tourelle Head, working for London Land Group, have submitted plans for 138 new homes at the southern end of Bromley High Street. The scheme transforms a long-vacant brownfield site, formerly occupied by a derelict 1950s office building, combining housing, workspaces, and public amenities.
The project delivers 107 high-quality build-to-rent homes and 31 specialist older person housing units, alongside residential amenities, flexible workspaces, a café, and a landscaped public plaza.
Three distinct buildings shape the development, responding to their immediate context while forming a coherent family. Each has been carefully designed to bring activity to the street, repair inactive frontages, and create new connections across the site.
R1, the taller building facing the High Street, provides slender dual-aspect apartments with inset balconies and generous views, its faceted façade addressing both townscape and microclimate considerations. R2 offers specialist housing for older residents, designed around health, accessibility, and wellbeing, and reintegrates with the scale and character of nearby Edwardian terraces. C1 provides flexible workspace, responding sensitively to the Grade II-listed Former St Mark’s School through a restrained brick expression that balances heritage with new use.
At ground level, a sequence of public spaces connects the development into its surroundings. The entry plaza and landscaped forecourt lead to a private courtyard garden for residents, enhancing the sense of community while ensuring privacy and security.
One Westmoreland is designed to set a new benchmark for high-quality, sustainable living in Bromley. With dual-aspect homes, active frontages, and careful attention to context, it will reanimate the southern gateway of the High Street and provide a place where living, working, and community can thrive together.
