Modern apartment building facade with white brick and metal balconies

This new mixed-use development is the first stage of a phased regeneration of Swanley town centre by Sevenoaks District Council. The building incorporates 17 new homes and a business hub/co-working space at ground floor adding to the activity, vibrancy and economic vitality of the High Street.

The 3-storey design is intended to be a contemporary, yet sensitive, intervention into the high street with a palette of materials that echoes the tones of the surrounding buildings and a rhythm that echoes the adjacent shopfronts.
