DMWR Architects were appointed to design Compound R.E’s first self-storage facility. A bold architectural form was conceived which repeated gable ends inspired by nearby residential housing and materials were selected that referenced both the surrounding industrial buildings and Kent’s traditional black barns.
Colour accents were introduced to reflect brand identity and highlight key design elements.
DMWR also developed a landscape strategy to address the site's significant topographical changes, incorporating cascading planters along the southern edge.
The scheme received full planning permission at committee in summer 2023 and was completed in summer 2025.
The design successfully balances industrial functionality with contextual sensitivity, creating a distinctive and well-integrated addition to the local area.
