A contemporary two-storey warehouse with first-floor offices and a dramatic double-height hall, designed by ARM Design & Build and granted planning permission by Croydon Council.
Our client needed a single building that could store, move and manage furniture — with proper office space that felt like part of the design, not an afterthought.
We organised the building to create a clear relationship between operational spaces and administrative functions, while making the most of the site.

The new building sits back from the street, leaving a generous forecourt for parking, loading and access.
The ground floor is dedicated to warehouse and furniture storage, with generous circulation and twin roller-shutter bays for loading and unloading.
Dedicated offices support the day-to-day management of the facility, while the rest of the floor opens up as a double-height hall.
Sixteen rooflights bring natural daylight deep into the hall and across the first floor.
The hall rises the full height of the building — 7.05 m to the ridge — with the offices set along one side at first-floor level.
A robust brick base at ground level, crowned by vertical metal cladding — a clear, contemporary industrial language.
The double-height space becomes the key architectural element of the project — creating a sense of openness and extra vertical volume for storing and displaying furniture.
A palette chosen to be hard-wearing, low-maintenance and clearly contemporary.
