Project Info:
In 2013, Fairgate was appointed for the refurbishment of the iconic Grade II listed Battersea Power Station. Retaining the power station’s sense of scale and visual drama is key to the project. Large volume spaces expose the historic fabric internally and juxtapose new and old construction. The Turbine Halls are the principal grand spaces and they are bought back to life through new uses.
Three levels of retail space will span across the two turbine halls and central boiler house. Over the retail space, residential accommodation will be created in the two lower-level annexes that sit to the east and west of the building and, in between, a triple-height leisure level with event space, cinema and hotel. Above this, six new storeys of office space are arranged around a grand atrium.
