Frank Gehry’s Long-Awaited Battersea Buildings in London Welcome Residents

Frank Gehry’s long-awaited first residential buildings in the UK have finally welcomed residents, Hypebeast reports. The Prospect Place buildings, located at London’s iconic Battersea Power Station, consist of 308 studio to four-bedroom residences, all with a unique open-concept layout, views of the Power Station, and access to either a winter garden or a terrace. Gehry Partners designed two color palettes for the interiors—the first is dubbed “London” and draws inspiration from the city’s history and architecture, using metallics and textures that hark to the site’s industrial past, while “LA” uses pale wooden finishes and lighter colors for a sense of “adventure and excitement,” according to the building’s website. 

“I love London,” said Gehry in a statement. “It has culture, history and diversity and the buildings we have created at Battersea Power Station are designed to stand artfully on their own amongst all of that, whilst also framing an internationally recognised icon.”

The redevelopment of the power station also includes a retail component and a new playground named Prospect Park. Prices for available listings in Prospect Place range from £995,000.
