Haworth Tompkins’ plans for Trellick tower redevelopment abandoned

摘要

Kensington and Chelsea council has withdrawn its controversial plans to redevelop the estate surrounding the grade Ⅱ*-listed Trellick tower following a rowdy meeting between councillors and residents. The Haworth Tompkins-designed proposals would have seen five additional blocks built on the Cheltenham estate, including a podium at the base of Erno Goldfinger’s 1970s tower. But campaign group Save Trellick said the new blocks would have “effectively cut the Cheltenham Estate in two, dividing a vibrant and diverse community, and undermining the architectural setting of the site”.
