Acton Lane

The 85-bed care home is situated on Acton Lane, Chiswick, bringing a dementia-friendly, six-storey facility to West London.

Thoughtfully designed to support specialist residential care, the scheme provides 24/7 nursing and follows a ‘household’ model, with clusters of 8–10 en-suite bedrooms and shared living spaces to create a more homely, manageable environment. Residents also benefit from sensory gardens and a wide range of communal amenities, including a cinema, hair salon, café, and multi-purpose rooms.

The design reflects the character of the Turnham Green Conservation Area, with careful consideration given to the adjacent Grade II listed Old Pack Horse pub. A mix of complementary brick tones and a sensitive massing strategy ensuring the building sits comfortably within its historic context.

Sustainability is embedded throughout, with green roofs, solar panels, air source heat pumps, solar shading, and natural ventilation. Ground-floor retail space activates the street frontage, making the development a valuable addition to the Portobello Trust’s portfolio and the local community.

Acton Lane is located in Chiswick.
