Never wanting in aspiration, WilkinsonEyre has conjured up a slew of innovative creations, including a sci-fi-esque conservatory at Beijing Botanic Gardens and London’s new Liverpool Street Station on the Elizabeth Line. In the case of Battersea Power Station, tactfulness and sensitivity have been key. Rather than imposing themselves on the Grade II listed powerhouse, the architects have danced with the original designs. Three neighborhoods in miniature—Switch House West, Switch House East, and at the summit, Boiler House Square—are woven between the chimneys. Black steel frame windows mirror the original industrial art-deco stylings. All have access to private gardens, seamlessly knitted into the rooftop, providing an extra layer of exclusive yet discreet living.

Playing up the building’s industrial aesthetics, Michaelis Boyd Associates has left entire walls of brickwork exposed in each of the 254 apartments. The power station’s two turbine halls were constructed in two movements between the 1930s and 50s, and the fixtures and fittings of the apartments reflect this; the Heritage ’33 palette has a sumptuous art-deco sophistication, featuring herringbone marble tiled floors and unlacquered brass fittings. The Heritage ’47 look is more contemporary, with matte white finish cabinetry and chrome fittings. All residences have Miele appliances—though, these days, the electricity is sourced from elsewhere.

Once a machine of industry, Battersea Power Station is now having some fun and is flush with luxe lifestyle amenities. Residents can enjoy sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, and treatment areas. Additionally, the residents’ club provides elegant workspaces, a screening room with plush chairs and side tables for drinks, and dining rooms and lounges with floor-to-ceiling glass. Crowning the power station roof are the Andy Sturgeon-designed roof gardens, where residents can unwind among bright foliage and grasses.
