Studio Egret West’s appointment will ensure the project fully reflects the changes in societal behaviour and technology for the future. The plans will aim to advance the neighbourhood’s rich mixed-use offering, while contributing to the Mayor of London’s Growth Plan.
The appointment of a master planner and urban designer marks another significant step in the progression of one of London’s most high-profile regeneration projects.
Having laid derelict for nearly three decades, Battersea Power Station has since been successfully transformed with over 2,200 homes, c. 800,000 sq ft of office space, a new Zone 1 London Underground station and over 150 retail, dining and leisure experiences. High-profile events such as London Fashion Week, Olympic fan zones, projections led by Apple on the façade of the Power Station and celebrASIA, the unique Southeast Asian festival by Battersea Power Station, reflect how the neighbourhood has become a central pillar in London’s cultural scene.
The final phases of Battersea Power Station will connect to the new Nine Elms Park, a 14- acre green space running from Vauxhall, through Nine Elms and concluding at the six-acre riverfront Power Station Park.
The way cities function has shifted dramatically since 2012, when we purchased and began work on the Battersea Power Station redevelopment project. 14 years later, now is a critical time to reflect on the original plans and fine tune them to better support how people now live, work and spend their leisure time. ”Tan Sri Shahril Ridzuan Chairman of Battersea Project Holding Company
Having achieved so much already in delivering this project, it is hard to believe that we are only halfway through. Today’s appointment marks an exciting exploratory step forward in visioning how Battersea Power Station will look in 10 to 15 years’ time.”Sam Cotton Interim CEO of Battersea Power Station Development Company
Battersea Power Station is one of London’s most extraordinary regeneration stories, and Studio Egret West is delighted to play a part in shaping its next chapter. Our work on the remaining c.50% of the neighbourhood will build upon the site’s remarkable legacy and seek to extend its cultural, commercial and community significance at both local and London levels. We feel Battersea Power Station’s candescence and hope to further spread and sustain its glow.”David West Founding Director
