Uberhaus under construction, South Acton
The Daily Telegraph in an article "Duplex apartments: going up in the world" defines Uberhaus as "a name dreamed up by one developer to make its penthouses sound different". So it's a maisonette on the top two floors of a block of flats, with its own internal staircase. This is in South Acton, a large area of council tower blocks now being regenerated, described by the developer as "just minutes from fashionable Chiswick".
