Key Details

Overview

Dean Bradley House is a mixed-use development by Medici Lifecare in Westminster, London SW1.

The development is within the Smith Square Conservation Area.

Designed by Squire and Partners, the building will offer senior living and healthcare facilities on Horseferry Road.

The low-carbon development will include amenities such as a hydrotherapy pool that will be accessible to NHS patients.

The embodied carbon will be reduced by partially retaining the existing basement walls, with façade and building services designed for modular offsite construction. Heated via air-source heat pumps, the fossil-fuel-free building will generate renewable energy through roof-mounted photovoltaic panels.
