Battersea Power Station - images
19 June, 2008
By Will Hurst
The first images of Rafael Viñoly's mixed-use design for Battersea Power Station have been revealed.
Owner and developer Real Estate Opportunities (REO) is aiming for the £4 billion scheme to become a zero carbon exemplar, BD's sister paper Property Week is due to report on Friday.
REO, part of Irish firm Treasury, aims to restore the derelict Grade II*-listed power station and convert it into a range of uses including apartments, retail, and a hotel while the remainder of the site will host a range of residential and office uses within a transparent structure topped by a 300m-high tower.
The tower itself appears to echo the chimneys of Giles Gilbert Scott’s power station itself.
