Architecture

A standard podium parking solution was negated by the provision of most of the new parking on-street, with some spaces provided within the communal courtyard. We therefore omitted the need for a concrete podium ‘deck’, with the subsequent ability to retain mature, existing trees that add significant amenity value for residents, ecological benefit and beauty to the site.

A 12-storey feature building is located on the corner of the development closest to the Acton Underground Station to act as a ‘marker’ to the wider masterplan for locals and visitors alike. Its use of grey brick and large balconies, as well as its generous lobby space and overall height, effectively differentiates the building within the wider masterplan setting.
