Pilbrow & Partners-designed scheme includes 56-storey block and 37,000sq m of commercial space

More than one-third of the new flats would be in a single 56-storey tower, designed by project architect Pilbrow & Partners. The practice’s seven-building scheme at North Acton also contains two 51-storey blocks, each of which would have around 400 homes.
