The centre of a new neighbourhood, Battersea Power Station Phase II is a true mixed-use scheme of considerable complexity.
The lower parts of the building, including former turbine halls (A & B), dating from the 1930s and 1950s. are now open, They feature retail, and food & beverage galleries, while conserving the best of their heritage features.
The turbine halls are flanked by east & west switch houses, each with approximately 100 residential units. The upper part of the central boiler house accommodates Apple’s EMEA offices. The roofs of all main volumes have fully planted gardens. On the roof of the boiler house, spectacular “villa” accommodation sits between the iconic chimneys.
Join us and find out why CE London & South-East Awards judges’ extolled that the project, “is arguably in a category of its own”. Discover how the project provides, “a superb example of best practice, innovation and technical achievement overcoming the extensive and wide-ranging challenges in such a project.”
