The fifth phase of Acton Gardens offers a mix of tenures, including affordable rent, shared ownership, private sale and Build to Rent. These homes are ‘tenure blind’, where architectural treatment and features are consistently high quality throughout the phase. There are 271 new homes across six buildings, ranging from 5-12 storeys. The urban perimeter block has been carefully configured to provide breaks in the buildings to maximise sunlight into the internal courtyard. This thoughtful approach enhances the living experience for residents whose views overlook the shared communal courtyard full of ample light and mature trees.
The maisonettes activate the ground floor by providing front doors to the street and private gardens to the rear. Two storey duplex pavilions articulate the top floors to create an attractive roofline atop articulated brick mansion blocks. Materials have been selected to complement or match with the previous masterplan development phases, including the use of a special brick type ‘Acton Blend’ that has been developed for the masterplan.
The project was praised for its design quality by Planning Officers and Committee Members.
