The Oaks, Acton | Davis Landscape Architecture

The site is located at the heart of Acton town centre, west London, and is intended to provide improved shopping facilities at ground level and significant housing above. The finshed scheme will provide 144 residential units, 5,000m2 commercial space and 2,444m2 refurbished retail space.

At ground level, our landscape proposals addressed the proposed buildings interface with the existing urban context. The banding within the ground floor paving pattern responds to the elevational treatment of the building.

Our second and third floor landscape proposals provided enclosed private patios to all residential units. Communal spaces are proposed for use of all residents at second and third floors. These include hard and soft landscape elements and three informal play areas split of the two levels. In locations where roof are not publicly accessible, green roofs were proposed. Both second and third floor landscapes are located over podium decks.
