KPF-designed proposals for a hotel and residential towers scheme in west London – the tallest element of which would be 55 storeys – have been approved by Ealing council.

The towers, earmarked for the site of the Holiday Inn London West on the A40 at Acton, will be linked by a nine-floor “sky bridge” between their 26^th and 34^th storeys. The feature will contain 36 of the scheme’s new homes. Both the 55-storey and 45-storey towers would have roof terraces, as would the top of the “sky bridge”. The taller tower will be “crowned” by a three-storey glazed screen.

Created for Aldau Development, the towers will deliver 702 new homes; a 159-room hotel; retail space; and co-working space. The developer said the project would provide 35% affordable housing at the 0.39ha site south-west of Old Oak Common.
