Mason & Fifth, Westbourne Park is a new mixed-use development which transforms a brownfield site that was formerly home to the Licenced Taxi Drivers’ Association Headquarters, into a vibrant new waterfront destination along the Grand Union Canal, attracting a new community of young creatives, entrepreneurs, artists, and professionals to West London.
A new 332-key flexible living development, Westbourne Park is formed of a family of buildings of varying scales, ranging in height from three to twelve storeys, wrapped around an urban courtyard that opens up on to the canal. The scheme includes an extensive amenity offering of social and work lounges, a communal dining space, listening lounge, cinema room, and a wellness suite with a swimming pool, gym and movement studio, along with amenities for the wider community, including creative, affordable workspaces, and a waterfront restaurant.
The new architecture is stitched into the existing urban landscape and responds to the area’s historical architecture and local vernacular through façade proportions, Crittall windows, and a varied material palette of brick, steel, and glazed green terracotta that reflects the faience found on nearby industrial and heritage buildings.
A new pocket park has been created at the heart of the development, designed to benefit the local community with activation at ground level and a tiered public area that can be used for performances and leisure activities.
