JMS Engineers delivered structural design for the redevelopment of 54–62 High Street, Bromley - the planned transformation of a former department store into a mixed-use residential and commercial development. The scheme involves converting the existing first and second floors into apartments, while adding three new residential storeys above.
The vertical extension required detailed assessment of the existing structure’s capacity, with strengthening works introduced to support the additional loads. JMS designed a lightweight steel frame for the new upper levels, minimising impact on the retained structure below. Alterations to the ground-floor commercial space includes new structural openings and internal support adjustments to suit the revised layout, all coordinated to maintain integrity during phased construction.
