Galaxy House

Galaxy House

Originally The Bank Of America HQ Galaxy House is a joint venture between Redrow Homes and regeneration specialists Menta, the proposals create a mixture of app. 300 apartments with associated roof terraces and amenity space. The development forms part of a £1billion regeneration of Croydon town centre which includes the forthcoming Westfield Croydon shopping development.
The architectural layout comprises four connected blocks with concierge and boutique hotel style reception area. The project will be a catalyst for further regeneration in the local area with more than half of the site being dedicated to gardens, landscaping and public realm improvements.

LLA were key in achieving planning for the scheme and worked closely with Croydon Council, by developing a strong landscape strategy for the scheme which included mature street planting to unify the street scene and creating sustainable transport improvements by linking to surrounding footpaths and cycleway networks. The development aims to achieve Level 4 of the Code for Sustainable Homes and has a low emissions strategy. The award winning scheme is to be completed in Autumn 2017.
