Battersea Roof Gardens launches at Battersea Power Station, offering additions such as Sky Lounge and vast gym
Battersea Roof Gardens by Foster + Partners
Foster + Partners nods to the building’s industrial past in a design which juxtaposes wooden accents with a clean minimalism. A generous gym space is flooded with light thanks to triple-height ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, while apartments comprise both the bright and the cosy. There is an emphasis on welcoming communal spaces throughout, with the upper floor of the Sky Lounge containing a bar, and the lower floor co-working spaces, a cinema room and a lounge and entertaining area.
‘Neighbourhood and community are at the heart of Battersea Power Station, and the first step to establishing this is to create spaces which residents want to share and congregate in,’ says Meriam Makiya, head of residential at Battersea Power Station Development Company. ‘This philosophy inspired the design of truly remarkable residential amenities, positioned in prime locations within Battersea Roof Gardens, so that residents can meet and enjoy the best of the neighbourhood together.
The new development is the latest in a plan which will complete by the end of 2023, with the finished space set to include Koa at Electric Boulevard, a collection of 204 apartments, and 200,000 sq ft office building, 50 Electric Boulevard.
