Battersea Roof Gardens, designed by Foster + Partners, on the west of the site, provides over 615 homes, residents’ lounges, a healthcare facility and hotel, as well as two stories of terraced retail. The design is crisp and white, with beautifully colored metals and glass. The homes will be styled in a subtle 1930’s theme that has been adopted from the Power Station. Residents will be able to enjoy stunning roof top gardens designed by James Corner, who also designed The Highline, New York. The top of the entire building is given over to this vast roof garden. One of the largest roof gardens in London, with views of Battersea Power Station and amazing river and cityscape panoramas. On the other side of Electric Boulevard is Prospect Place, the first permanent residential development in the UK to be designed by Gehry Partners. The design of Prospect Place was inspired by the billowing sails of ships. The undulating façade of the buildings means no two homes are the same. This is Gehry Partners first permanent residential development in the UK and will become an architectural landmark for London. Each individual building has its own personality and style and all the homes come with winter gardens or their own terrace to maximise the light and views.Between the five buildings, there is a beautiful private garden for residents, reflective of a private London square. Residents will be also be able to enjoy c. 7,000 sq ft of facilities within the Gehry Partners’ Flower building, at the center of Prospect Place.
