One Portal Way

Our masterplan for One Portal Way unlocks the full potential of this west London regeneration site to deliver 1,300 new homes, and flexible workspaces for up to 2,000 people, all located near excellent transport links including the future Old Oak Common HS2 railway station and Elizabeth Line interchange. The masterplan replaces existing low-grade warehouses with a series of seven, carefully curated new buildings, centred around a major new public park, creating a permeable, mixed-use, town centre. Three residential towers of between 50 and 55 storeys will demarcate public access points, while a series of graduated buildings, between six and 18 storeys, will accommodate a range of co-living options, workspaces, and a 260-room hotel, all designed to draw innovative technology and life science businesses to North Acton. To ensure efficient, high-quality construction with less waste, the masterplan is designed to utilise modern methods of construction throughout, including large scale structural panels for the base build and bathroom and kitchen pods for the fit out. The towers’ triangular footprint eliminates a north-facing facade while ensuring almost all homes feature a dual aspect. All new workspace buildings are targeting BREEAM Excellent, while photovoltaics and air source heat pumps throughout will help to ensure low carbon operation across the development. The central landscaped park will feature a garden with large trees, flowerbeds and lawns, and accommodate a range of activities, including food markets and community events. The first phase of the project, including 95% of this green space, is currently under construction.
