WFC are currently working with Cartwright Pickard on the Grade II Listed Bromley Town Hall , which is being repurposed as part of a £ 20m refurbishment and expansion . Working together with Castleforge Partners , proposals will see the building sensitively refurbished and enlarged to provide 73,000sqft of modern co-working office space and a 24-bedroom boutique hotel , alongside a publicly accessible courtyard and café / bar .
A combination of 1900s and 1930s architecture , the Town Hall was used by Bromley College until 2007 and has laid vacant ever since . The design will bring the heritage asset back into use by knitting the two buildings together in a sensitive manner , improving connectivity and bringing energy performance up to modern standards .
A new high-quality landscaped courtyard lies at the heart of the scheme , designed to foster a collegiate feel and link the buildings into a single , cohesive and connected environment . This includes a landscaped amphitheatre with an integrated ramped level access route to the main entrance .
Some of the most historically significant areas of the building are to be opened up to the public through the creation of a café / bar within the old Court House .
The buildings ’ vast lofts will also be activated and brought into use for the first time as office space through the integration of conservation roof lights , dormer windows and new lift provision .
Under Castleforge ’ s Clockwise co-working brand , office tenants will be able to rent a private office , dedicated desk or choose club membership , a hot-desking model which provides start-ups with access to the benefits and facilities of more established businesses
