Battersea Power Station designs revealed in stunning walkthrough video

Francesca Gillett8 February 2017

A stunning new walk-through video reveals how the “spectacular” £9bn Battersea Power Station development is going to look.

The chief architect of the mammoth renovation project has released fresh images showing views of the upcoming riverside complex as seen from both the ground and the sky.

The impressive video shows how a boutique high street will link a new Northern Line Tube station with the Power Station Park’s town square, while luxury apartment blocks surround the iconic 1930s building.

Another walkway linking Battersea Park Road and the development will be lined with trees, cafes and a play area.

'Spectacular': How the £9 billion development is expected to look.

Master planner Rafael Viñoly described how the power station will be the “central focus” of the site and said the renovation will “create a new destination for London”.

The New York-based architect said: “The park will become a leisure destination for visitors. It will be a resource for the use of residents but also for the public at large.

“All of these public spaces lead you to the experience of reencountering the power station renovated again into a very important attraction. Both turbine halls are also going to be renovated.

“At the top of the building there is six floors of office space punctuated by a series of atriums that bring natural light to the space.”

At the start of the month the stretch of riverbank in front of the power station opened to the public for the first time in 90 years.

This week developers vowed there will be no chain bars or restaurants at the complex, which will instead include a Danish pizzeria, an oyster bar and boutique gin distillery.

Residents are set to move into the first phase of the scheme, called Circus West, within weeks.

The first restaurants, bars and shops are expected to open in the summer.
